The world record for the longest intro credit sequence? Also terrible movie.

I guess they wanted to make people remember something from this movie since it is crap through and through so they had the bright idea to have a 6+ minute credit intro in a 90 minute movie. As for the movie itself, well, it is one of those movies you watch and throughout the movie you can not help but to wonder how on earth stuff like this still gets financed. A throroughly boring story about Ruby Rose playing some kind of an assassin chick who goes on five cash pick-ups when Morgan Freeman (forgot what his character is called and who cares anyways) kidnaps her daughter. All of these pick-ups play out the exact same way - the people holding the cash always have a plan to kill her, but are still nice enough to have the money handy. I guess it would be just inconsiderate and impolite to not have the cash even if you are planning to shoot the person who is coming for the money. After the cash-bag holders are disposed in a boring an unimaginative way what usually follows is an equally boring bike chase where Ruby is riding around in a bike lethargically while some russian or german dude is driving a car behind her. Truly a boring and utterly terrible movie. Still better than Kong vs. Godzilla though!

Yeah, it's being savaged on IMDb. From the Variety review: "The script is so by-the-numbers, the performers can hardly hide their disinterest..."
I would never watch it just based on the trailer.

**SPOILERS**
The only reason I watched was because of Morgan Freeman. His performance was so unusually lackluster. I think he knew it was crap and didn't care. I'm not a fan of Ruby Rose and this movie didn't change that.
There are so many things that bothered me about this movie. How can a man, in a wheel chair, sneak off and take a kid without the mother knowing? Why doesn't she search the house for her daughter? Why is she having flashbacks of things that happened 5 minutes earlier? How can she just walk into a gangsters club with guns in full view? How can anybody walk into a crime lord's mansion without being detected? Why doesn't he have security? How can she kill a governor and get away with it?
Maybe there will be a sequel to answer these questions. Unfortunately Freeman's character is dead so I definitely would not watch it.

This is what I call a paycheck movie.

Holy shit I logged on just to comment on the opening credits. 6 MINUTES!!!!! I was expecting the movie to be trash but you're supposed to pad the runtime by making the closing credits overlong, not the opening credits.
