Likes: This film franchise which is now in its third film continues Mike banning (Gerard Butler) story only this time excused of attempted assassination of the president, im not gonna lie, im gonna be completely honest this film was great, it does have a flaws, but as much as this film was good, ive gonna admit that the story of this 3rd installment is slightly weaker than the other films while still being entertainingly funny in places.
That comes from Nick Nolte character Clay Banning that sound like a crazy old conspiracy theory guy, but these scenes are made funny when mike and clay are surrounded in the wood, this where the film funny moment start happen, even alot of the audience in the cinema viewing I was in was laughing which let be honest was outright Hilarious coupled with the banter which is the highlight of the film.
While the action is a little less than before the film does have a few action scene that was good, the flow of the pacing is solid, while some moments do tend to drag a little, but the film as a whole is worth watching if you're a fan of these films.
But like I said there are a few issues with this film, that kind of do need to be addressed, because I feel this film could've been done better than the first two films.
Dislikes: There are a few CGI moments that make the film really off, it make it really obvious that they are in a studio standing in front of a green screen which really takes you out of the film.
They had to throw that stupid Political message into the film about the Russian hacking presidential race candidates.
As ive said the story is a little weaker than the original two films, this is because the set up of mike banning is way too predictable and find out who it is setting him up cames way to fast in this film. I feel this is what lets the film down and the story down because this reveal could have been kept secret until the 3rd act of the film, instead it was revealed way too early which took away the tension of the film.
The way this should have been done was having the very person that set him up a mystery and hidden from the audience until the third act, this would have kept the audience on the edge of their seat wonder who it was setting him up would have kept the film interesting. this is where I think the story fails why the Original two film was actually better though this film was great to watch.
Overall: Good action, slighty weaker story, funny in places.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 7.8 out of 10 for the third installment
