Yes this movie is formulaic, but that's not what bothered me. Am I to believe that a 30 year veteran of the special forces is really going to be that bad at fighting? And also to show up unarmed (not even a knife?) to the compound full of criminals where his daughter is being held? And then to basically just get his ass kicked and accomplish nothing?
I didn't think that the acting or cinematography were really that bad, it just would have made more sense if the protagonist was some "average Joe" rather than an elite special forces veteran if we're supposed to believe he would be as bad at fighting as he was.
The ending also bothered me, like oh, it's great that he's prison because now he's finally going to get some group therapy? Doesn't track.
