A fun enough comedy/action/adventure/heist film when you just want something on to pass the time without wanting to get emotionally invested, but it's nothing more. Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds, with wise crack after wise crack that aren't often funny, and that don't make him believable as the world's greatest art thief at all. The prison breakout is one of the worst and most predictable I've seen in a film. Everyone is conveniently in the perfect spot at the perfect time a number of times throughout the flick. Like some of Netflix's other big action movies such as 6 Underground, it features some picturesque environments and some eye catching action scenes but the writing is weak.
