The pandemic caused various production delays as well, but the movie has finally hit the theatres and running to a warm response.

The movie is smooth, full of action-packed stunts including Holland continuing to do impressive parkour.

Mark Wahlberg plays his role of a thief slightly past his prime well, and the chemistry between the two protagonists is fun to watch.

While the acting, the sets, and the stunts are commendable, some find the movie to be a little flat, missing the zest of the PlayStation games.

Overall, it’s mindless fun, and the moviemakers have left a little something after the credits, to develop into a franchise if this runs to commercial success.
