In the oversaturated arena of superhero films, that last thing you want to see is a bland story riddled with plot and technical issues. Aside from Sly's amazing presence, even he couldn't save the cliched and underwhelming screenplay. Aside from one decent twist, the rest of the story was generic and predictable, and lacked that "superhero intensity" in its writing. There wasn't enough substance in the story to merit the 102 min runtime, and the slow pacing didn't help much either. The directing wasn't any better with the long dragged out scenes, and the constant 360-degree spins everyone did when they got punched. I mean what's up with that nonsense anyway, was the action choreographer a gymnast? It's an ok one-time watch, especially if you're a Sly fan.
