Terribly bad.
The story is nothing special. Very predictable, very unbelievable and very stupid. Absolutely not exciting.
The action scenes look very amateurish. Some theatrical smacking and some sad explosions.
The characters are flat caricatures. No depth to be found.
The humor is of a laughably low caliber.
The ending is horrifying. It even implies a sequel! What a horrible prospect!
The film has nothing positive to say. Very bad actually.

Action comedy but of the B-level segment. Not bad but you can see that they are not top actors (as their filmography also proves), also the editing is far from what it should be. Could have been a nice movie with a different cast and a bit more budget for the 'fireworks'. Had more the feeling of watching a long episode of a series genre Mac Guyver or A-team. Don't expect Ocean's eleven-team, although a lot of clichés of this blockbuster are copied...
And after the credits a fragment for a sequel, but I fear that this will never happen. And certainly not since James Caan has left us in 2022.
2*
