I was pretty entertained. The Rock is a capable actor but he's always gonna impress more with his charisma than range. But this "dad" type role suited him well. And while he's still former military/police, he comes across more as capable than physically dominant like he often is in other films. This trait is enhanced by his disability set up in the beginning of the film.
The movie has a pretty unbelievable plot and storyline but the editing is fairly strong. The story is kept moving and events are explained quickly to keep things going and avoid getting caught up in any convoluted plot points trying to explain why anything is the way it is. I really think the pace was the strongest part of this film.
The climax is where the motivations get a little bogged down in a conveniently contrived backstory to explain why the villains are motivated.
All that said, it's a solid action flick with a bit of heart, a lot of explosions and some fun fights mixed in with a lot of high wire acrobatics by The Rock that will definitely make your palms sweat.
Personally, I'd say this is The Rock's best lead role since his early days in The Rundown and Walking Tall. I certainly enjoyed it far more than I anticipated. I think the beginning scene could've been just explained through backstory and the explanation about the villains before the climax was pretty cheesy, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the film.
Actors were all mostly decent, I cheered for the main character and it's a family oriented action film so you know it has a happy ending. But it still did a decent job of making things suspenseful and enjoyable along the way.
