This movie inevitably is gonna be compared to Mission Impossible. Does it rise to that movie's brilliance? No, not even close, but that doesn't make it a bad movie.
The movie is well made, filmed in diverse locations, decently acted, and best of all, packed with glorious action from start to finish. The CGI is good, stunts are great, and fights are well choreographed. You can tell Netflix afforded it substantial coin.
That said, it's not perfect. The plot is thin, dialog forced, and ultimately fairly predictable. Some of the characters were not fleshed out well and came across as unbelievable.
In the end, this movie is supposed to be a popcorn flick. A respite from the real world. Don't overthink it: leave your brain at the door and sit back and enjoy the ride. I know I did.
