From David Ayer - the people that brought you Fury, Suicide Squad, and The Beekeeper Sylvester Stallone co-write the script with him.
John Statham does John Statham things...
Not particularly different from anything else he's done. Michael Pena does some particularly bad acting, but it's pretty brief. David Harbour plays the blind ex-military buddy that lives in the woods like a prepper or the Unibomber. He has a little more screen time, but you might not even recognize him in passing.
For all its faults (and there are many), the one that really ruined it for me was in the last part of the film where all the action takes place at a mansion in the woods. The kidnapped girl escapes and is running thru the forest at night and there is an unnaturally large full moon in the background. It's like they took a sign off a bar near Cape Kennedy or something. The thing is f'ing giant. Later, there's a big fight under the moonlight and it just looks like a sound stage because of the stupid f'ing giant moon lamp hanging on the back wall.
I don't know who made the production design decisions around that. I'm sure it because they wanted to tie in the kidnapped girl playing Moonlight Sonata with a f'ing giant full moon, but it was ridiculously wrong.
