Aaron Eckhart is a great actor, and this film is a good action film for the most part, the pacing is fast and keeps you watching the screen.
The writing though is cheesy. The film tries very hard to appeal to young modern audiences, with a strong take on social media and live streaming news, it tries to simultaneously be woke and look like it isn't. The plot isn't the most realistic, and the antagonists don't feel like real antagonists or real criminals.
Overall the action was enjoyable and some of the old cop / gen Z teenager's chemistry and insults traded, but this isn't quite Die Hard. More Die Cheese or Die Cringe.
