Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised by Statham's comedic role. Sure there were some parts that made me laugh, but probably not more than a typical shitty Adam Sandler movie. Overall, there were so many cringy parts I don't really see how it could be called an above average movie.
Looking for people to defend/explain the critical praise this movie seems to have gotten. Please disprove my point of view.
