I think this movie is being absolutely torn to shreds where it probably doesn't deserve that much backlash.
Is it amazing? No. But I didn't finish watching it with a sour taste in my mouth. It was alright.
The Australian shots are spectacular in some scenes, I particularly enjoyed the architecture and homes/apartments that were showcased. Russell Crowe's acting was good, I thought he fit the character well enough and the last 30-60 minutes where the action occurred was actually pretty good.
All of the other characters did have problems being understood and became irrelevant. I was excited to see Liam Hemsworth but became really confused why he was cast as a guy in his late 50s? It just didn't make sense at all. Also the first half of the movie is pretty slow and doesn't really go anywhere.
Overall it's okay to watch.
