First off, I love Jason Statham, he's got it all like any great 80's action star. He's handsome, charms your socks off and is truly got some skill.
That said, I just drifted off and had little to no interest in this, this franchise was barely passable on the first one and it is, to me, very distracting the sellout element with regard to the chinese buying into/out the long dead hollywood film industry.
I don't know who to feel bad for, the death of hollywood, or the idiots(chinese) that are massively buying into it at its decline/bottom.
Talk about dollar cost averaging down, I guess it's better than dumping millions into buying/building empty cities that will crumble down in 5 years.
I saw it in the theater with family, and under those conditions it came across as a lighthearted comedy.
If I had seen it at home I probably would not have watched more 1 tenth of it.
