This was a raging pile of dung from the very start. The movie itself isn't so much telling a story as just having several events happen in succession, and there's no character development whatsoever.
Even at the end of the film I couldn't root for any side or connect to any character at all because among all the bullets, shootouts, and deaths you never really "meet" anyone. The characters exist to shoot guns and nothing more, and when the subject of morality introduced it's a split second conversation before more shooting.
In fact most of the conversation in this film is characters rehashing the events you just saw, which is almost insultingly silly because it's as though the writer assumes you've seen none of what happened and need it explained twice or even three times in forced cutouts.
Can't even give it points for the shootout scenes either because the characters are presented as tactical and experienced yet don't cover exits, shoot at nothing to kill their element of surprise and tip off the target, and then act shocked when the one they're after escapes for the fifth time.
