My review

A Guy Ritchie movie? That's enough to count me in. Unfortunately all I got was a big disappointment.

The whole movie just feels... flat. The characters (and the lack of their development), the story,... Did Guy Ritchie actually direct this? Or did he leave it to his intern?
Normally Statham in a Guy Ritchie movie means that we get see to see Statham be more than a typical action movie guy. Not the case here, just feels like a typical Statham b-movie.
Some dialogue is witty, but I'm missing the typically Ritchie-y dialogue. Case in point: I have the OST's of most Ritchie movies, and it includes some epic quotes. For this movie I'm skipping the soundtrack alltogether.

Conclusion

Movie felt really mediocre, was barely entertained. Aubrey was the best part of the movie... for her looks. (and that's not due to her acting skills, but due to the plot)

6/10

Deleted the movie, will not re-watch.
