The initial portion, roughly the first half-hour, wasn’t terrible, even considering what seems to be a decline in Ratner's directing skills and Scott's unnecessary demise.

Halle Berry seemed to require more screen time, which results in her appearing frequently, but her character lacks development and sometimes delivers lines that go against what…
