Watched it mainly for Brendan Gleeson. That was a mistake - he's only in it for about 6 minutes.
Let's gleefully smash up Capetown. Yay!
It's essentially very rapidly edited chases, gun battles and fights all the way, and it's a shame there isn't more repartee between Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, some humour, which might have made it more fun. Set in South Africa, featuring a nice old BMW, it's utterly incredible and has an unsatisfactory ending (writer David Guggenheim). Comes across like a bad version of Homeland. Not sure Reynolds has made a good film.
With Vera Farmiga, Sam Shepherd, Ruben Blades (counterfeiter), Fares Fares (the pursuer), Nora Arnezeder.
