Lack of good storyline.
I think the first time I saw a movie that had Parkour in it was the 'District B13'. After that plenty of flicks came, among them this one as well. The movie was about a struggling young bike messenger who meets a girl belong to Parkour gang. Later he joins them that changes his fate, but whether he gets the girl or not, that tells with the thrilling story development and some amazing stunts.Ever since the 'Twilight' series, I wanted Taylor Lautner to make his foot steady in his acting career. Because I was rooting his werewolves gang in that movie. His last movie I saw was three years ago, 'Abducted' that did not go well. At least this one looked much better, but not enough. Like always I hope he comes back stronger.Considering this film, the story was as old as the cinemas. A reused plot, there's nothing new. More like another version of 'Point Break', but everything was under a limit. Adding the Parkour and bike stunts to it, gives somewhat a new flavour. The young actors and fresh faces were highlights. From coming under the B movie category, it is simply a nice entertainer, but appraising from the out of that, definitely a disappointment. In the end everything is how you look it and what you get from it.6/10
They need to put a health warning on the DVD cover of this movie because I felt like I was going to vomit after 15 minutes. I couldn't take any more. I'm not a fan of shaky camera, but I can appreciate it if used appropriately, for example in found footage films or certain action scenes. However, in this movie the camera was constantly bouncing around, and I mean CONSTANTLY. In scenes in which two people are standing still and talking to each other, the camera still bounces and flicks around, as if you are getting the first person view of a bystander with ADHD! One minute the camera is aimed at someone's face, then suddenly - BAM! it whizzes down and your looking at the ground, then suddenly - BAM! it whizzes back up and your looking at a shaky face, then BAM! You get the point... Up down, left right, up down, left right, NEVER EVER STILL FOR A SINGLE SECOND. Was there a constant earthquake? Was the cameraman high on ice? If you want to throw up, go watch this movie.
First of all, this is not a great movie but it is not as bad as it is told in here. The reviews are coming up from different minds and that means we don't have to like the same things but come on guys, watch the entire movie first then write your reviews.Actually, Taylor Lautner did a good job and I believe that he didn't use stunts on most parts of the film.The action scenes really excited me and I want those parts to be passed and see the next part, which is good I think, by that way director made me wondered. I believe this is a very important a movie should have.Well, guessing the end of the film easily is the disadvantage of the film I think.****SPOILER ALERT**** On the way to the end, where they were going to get diamonds, going down from the ceiling glass part could be better to show that Miller is standing Cam up.
A bike messenger encounters the world of parkour and, because of problems in his personal life, becomes involved in a dangerous situation. Taylor Lautner (Cam) stars in this action film that features some kinetic chase scenes that highlight great photography. It can't be easy to track the speed of this action, but the cameras never miss a shot.There are some sparks between Cam and Nicki (Marie Avgeropoulos), but the action is what drives this film.A criticism: Although Lautner's face frequently fills the screen, Ms. Avgeropoulos deserves better framing and lighting. Her beauty is underserved. In TV's "The 100", she is the best part of the show and she gets plenty of screen time.A compliment: Few films have featured the dynamic and unforgiving scapes of New York City so well. It's the perfect backdrop to the amazing athletic sequences of this film.
