: From high-speed chases in London to the massive gravity-defying finale, the action is relentless. What Falls Short: The Narrative Bloat

is a "check your brain at the door" blockbuster. If you are looking for peak Michael Bay—explosions, spinning cameras, and world-ending stakes—it delivers. However, if you are looking for a cohesive story or deep character development, it may feel like sensory overload. Rating: 2.5 / 5 Stars

: Sir Anthony Hopkins seems to be having the time of his life. He brings a much-needed sense of class and eccentric humor to a script that often feels like it was written in a blender.
