Typical Snyder film. More style than substance, with potentially interesting plots ultimately developing into nothing.

It's one of those action films where characters do stupid things (mainly his daughter) so they can be rescued in dramatic fashion. Any person who randomly picks up a gun can suddenly perfectly head shot any fast moving target with ease etc.

Did they tease that potential rain fuelled zombie mob for a reason? Did they just completely forget about it?

4/10 or maybe 5/10. There's so much zombie content out at this point, some great, some bad and some mediocre like this film. It was the same old tropes and ideas.

It was just a joke, the whole line of conversation was just waxing philosophic. They were basically one upping each other.
There's a bunch of over analyzing going on with it.

As they were approaching the vault, they stumble upon the dead corpses of a previous team of thieves or whatever. The black guy makes a remark about "it it another team or is it us from another time-line? Then then camera pans over the dead bodies & one skeleton has the same key around their neck that 1 of the chicks has, 1 has the same red scarf that the main character has, another has the same shirt as the pilot chick, & another has the same backpack & scarf as the black dude.

But the director says not all might be as it seems. When asked by The Film Junkee about the time loop theory, Snyder replied that there was other evidence sprinkled throughout the movie that Vanderohe might be right, including a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot of another group of corpses sitting at a casino table as Scott and his team make their escape.

“I will also say that… there’s a chance – and I’m not saying this is 100% true, and in some ways it’s not – but the group at the table, I mean, it’s pretty subtle, but that’s them also at the table as well as… they get farther every time … possibly… Is this the time they made it all the way to the money?”

Snyder trying to be Nolan :wacko:

I just don’t see them going that in depth for a possible sequel.

Passed out 3 times before all the characters were introduced.

Felt like a long into/ tutorial to game that doesnt even have much content...

4/10

The gore was good. Acting terrible. Was bit disappointed with the movie but still worth a watch.

I am surprised the black guy didn't die first in the movie.

Just a thought, there's a reference to the Sci-Fi TV show Helix with Japanese Business man. Hiroyuki Sanada plays the same character.


lol he does die

at the end when hes in the plane he gets sick and sees he got bit
he turns into a zombie just before landing in mexico
