When you watch this movie, don't overthink it. Seriously, it's not going to win an Oscar there are gaps in the writing. It's purely fun, lighthearted and entertaining. There are laughs and violence; both not too over-the-top.
And...it all works it in the end.
I also appreciated the practical effects. Not too much CGI, just during the horse scene. Overall, I enjoyed the practical explosions and helicopter scenes.
I am happy for this genre because you can watch it on a Tuesday night and feel great when you head to bed.
Juan Pablo Raba stole the show. He was absolutely fantastic as the educated, aloof and lovable el Presidente.
It was also really great to see Christian Slater in this type of role as well. He was fantastic to watch onscreen.
Alison Brie was fine, these days I'm almost always disappointed with female roles. But she was cute and quirky as she should be.
John Cena isn't a fantastic actor, but he landed some good lines and his action was solid.
Overall, a fun watch!
