Mutiny

There was a time when I looked forward to Jason Statham films. He fits the action genre comfortably, mixing man of action with enough depth and thoughtfulness to remain interesting. It's a shame, then, to see his films become as formulaic as "Mutiny".

This is a deeply superficial action flick that sets up a basic human trafficking at sea scenario, backed by caricature mercenary bad guys facing off against an ex-military/police hero in the form of Statham. What comes next is predictable, repetitive, and frankly rather bland.

No true insights into anyone's motives, no witty narrative or general creativity.

In summary, a superficially watchable but also wholly forgettable action romp.
