Will Smith is an elite sniper who decides to retire. Will Smith is a clone of that guy I just mentioned. They are put on a collision course. Clive Owen is the bad guy. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the attractive DIA agent (yes, DIA...) that the filmmakers wanted to see naked-ish, so they developed a totally unnecessary bullshit scene to achieve that. Benedict Wong is the only friend the old Will Smith can trust.
You probably can already predict EXACTLY what happens from start to finish based on just the information I've given you. This is a very "by the numbers" film.
The writing is actually pretty shitty, and starts to induce eye rolling super late in the film. Thinking back on it now, it's even worse than I remember.
The real star of the movie is CGI and the effects team. They were tasked with ridiculous action sequences and making Will Smith look like the Fresh Prince again.
Overall, sure there's some cool action that would be enough to warrant a viewing, but this movie honestly sucks. This is the End of Days (Arnold reference) of Will Smith's career.
