( Ray Stevenson), a self-professed salesman who has not-so-secretly just retired from espionage work. Fortunately, Frank is ultimately a passenger on this particular ride, with the real attractions being the crashes, the physics-defying brawls, and the nonstop, almost endearingly shameless product placements, with Evian, American Express and especially Audi getting as much screentime as the film’s nominal star.Īlso, photocopying several pages from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” the film joins Frank with his vinegary father, Frank Sr. Attempting to make up in pursed-lipped handsomeness what he lacks in charisma and hulking machismo, Skrein isn’t exactly a like-for-like replacement.
