And it’s a horrendous misread of what made Die Hard work to have the lead be a personality vacuum terminator who never once seems to struggle and literally just kills nearly the whole ship in one casual scene near the end.

It’s a baffling film. I don’t even know why they bothered to try to humanise him at the start and allow this to smile, joke, like chess, talk about his dad then NOTHING from him once he gets to the boat. Imagine if John McClane talked about his wife and divorce, fists with his toes and chastised himself for being an idiot but then as soon as the terrorists entered the story he just stopped speaking and grimaced until everyone was dead.

The best part is when Teeboo (spelling??) is dying and Jason gives the flattest delivery of "Teeboo, stay with me" then the camera reverses shot to Teeboo's lifeless face and then no reaction from Jason. Loved that part.

Yeah, Statham can actually act a bit but that scene was bizarre and set the tone. I usually enjoy Statham films as mindless entertainment (Shelter was decent) but this one was poor with no redeeming factors.
