I went into this movie hoping it would be good. Clinging onto hope that it would at least be decent. Long story short, it fell short.
I don't know much what to tell you as far as the genre of the film, it wasn't a comedy because it didn't have humor. It wasn't a drama because that requires characters and acting. It wasn't an action movie because nothing happened. It is best described as a movie where I guess eventually some things happen.
Every member of the cast could be described as incompetent at best. I couldn't identify a single intelligent character in the show. We want movies that pit powerful minds against each other not a few people whose brains barely functioning with motives we don't understand mucking about in a museum lobby for an hour and a half. That brings me to my second issue, the pacing. The pacing is dreadfully slow. Almost nothing happens in the first 40 minutes. By that time our two characters haven't moved from inside the museum and are still just hanging around with their hostages who are passing the time playing board games. The main reason for this terrible pacing is the exposition dumping. To explain every little thing, they give a long drawn out video explaining it as if we were a child.
