Too high of stakes, too many characters, too much exposition, too much nostalgia, and most notably not enough stunts.
Takes an hour and a half for the movie to wake up and remember what this franchise is. All the fun from the previous movies is nowhere to be found here.
There are 2 incredible action set pieces in this movie, but the drudge you have to sit through to get to them is tedious. I think Dead Reckoning set this movie up to fail, the story just got too big and bloated to handle.
This is really going to test audiences with its slow pace and how self referential this film is.
