This is one of those movies where the plot exists to drive the action. And given that the runtime is just shy of 90 minutes—not including the credits—it’s the action that gets a front row seat. In my opinion, the action isn’t all that impressive. What I found enjoyable were the character moments, particularly from Jake Gyllenhaal, personifying the bad-ass, hyper-competent, and confident bodyguard character.
There’s also an element of a heist plot to this story. Not exactly a heist, but effectively one. That checks off another of my guilty-pleasure-genres in this movie.

The characters are interesting but unrealistic. I don’t think Rachel’s character exists in the world. But it doesn’t matter, does it? Her team is fanatically loyal to protecting her, we find out in about a 15-second flashback.
While I had almost zero interest in the plot, it was well-paced enough that I stayed interested. In fact, the beginning of the movie was compelling enough that I almost forgot to check for Peetimes. I normally start looking at about 15-minutes into the movie, but I was engaged enough at the beginning that I didn’t check until 20-minutes in. That doesn’t happen very often.

Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app...especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene...and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!

Plot
A covert team of elite operatives are living in the shadows. When a ruthless despot steals a billion-dollar fortune, they’re sent to take it back—an impossible heist that erupts into a deadly game of strategy, deception and survival.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
