Ehh, I think probably because it’s a lazily written, family friendly, action movie for people to only half watch while they’re on their phone. Heist movies with constant plot twists where everyone is double crossing one another all the time are pretty predictable and the viewer doesn’t really need to think about it much as the movie will just explain the plot to you again soon.
That, plus the type casting of Ryan Reynolds as the wise cracking protagonist, The Rock as the goofy sidekick, and Gal Gadot… who just can’t act, feels pretty over done and you’re just watching the actors play themselves with a bunch of car chases and explosions.
It’s in no way a good movie IMO… but I watched it and enjoyed it because I knew exactly what I was getting into and wanted to watch something I didn’t really need to pay much attention to while I spaced out for a couple of hours.
