What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly shrugging at this one. The ridiculous premise, with Samuel L. Jackson's president fighting a coup from his armored limo called The Beast, is exactly what you get, but it doesn't deliver much fun or tension. Joel Kinnaman's Agent Taft gets a pass, but Jackson's performance is widely seen as a paycheck gig, and director Renny Harlin's work is getting actively panned by those who mention him. The thin story is another common complaint, making this feel like a missed opportunity for a guilty pleasure.
