Another example of a need to churn out films at a fast rate for an eager audience. Netflix is rushing out way too many films and risking the reputations of actors by doing so.
The lead actors must have been quite misguided to take this project as they are way better than the resulting film produced here. A mishmash of a road trip type movie we've all seen before but redone in a shoddy way.
Not even a hint of realism as the story progresses but the writers must shoulder the blame for that and the Director surely could see what was resulting from the bad writing. Take more time on the scripts please!!!
Give it a watch if you like Queen Latifah and Ludicris but don't expect their finest work.

Dodgy script and direction make a dud film
pffft....
TRYING to disregard all the obvious social "messages" in this...
This was decent for the first half, act one. Where they are merely building characters.
Catalyst happens, act two....
If you have half a brain you INSTANTLY know who "Mr Cross" (The bad guy) is. Because of this, act two feels more like going through the motions. The repeated "mystery" behind Mr Cross is somewhat pointless because you will probably already know who it is.
The reveal, act three....
From here.. It's exceptionally fitting that Ludacris is starring in this film... because it all gets so very, very, very, ludicrous. It almost borders on an unintentional comedy. There are too many logic errors to list - wild leaps that wouldn't really be possible.
All the acting was good, the constant unnatural lighting was an odd choice... purple, orange, green, pink.... never just normal lights. Made it visually more interesting.
Overall it was an okay watch, but don't really expect too much.
Regarding the "propaganda" aspect.....
I would say the "message" here of exceptional bigotry by white characters is not really a good message for younger audiences. Portraying all white people as racist is no different than portraying all black people as pimp, hookers, or murderous drug dealers --- it's simply not true. Ya can't paint things with such a broad brush. While I don't deny bigotry exists.. I've never seen it to the extent expressed later in this film. And to be perfectly honest, I think it worked pretty well in act one of this film when it first rears its ugly head. However, all the usage after that scene was pointless and didn't add to the story in ANY way.
The End of Good Action Movies
Gone are the days when we used to watch unbiased, entertaining, enjoyable, real action-thriller movies. Nowadays it's all about politics.
Isn't it so obvious that the movies they create today are all with an agenda and to deceive and devide us? I mean c'mon, they have started to politicize drama, comedy, horror and even Action movies too.
In my opinion the movie did not have that 'wow factor' and I think most of the acting was just 'B' rated and I wouldn't call this an action movie...more like a drame-thriller.
The only acting which was acceptable was by Beau Bridges, but the rest of the cast was just meh.
Only watch this movie if you have no other option and nothing else to watch.
