< 3 out of 5

3.5 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Jason Clarke
  Jamie Foxx
  Joey King
  Channing Tatum
  James Woods
Movie Haiku:DC gets the "quip, quip; bang, bang" treatment with Tatum as an Iraq War vet with a heart of gold & Foxx standing in for our handsome agile African American president. Jan found the interminable chases, mano-a-mano fistfights & huge explosions totally tedious, but for Rich this was a "guilty pleasure" that moved fast & showed all the good guys to best advantage.
