R.I.P.D.

Enjoyable ride, good concepts with failing execution

(Edit) 27/01/2016

If you have one and a half hours to kill on a plane then this will be quite enjoyable. Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges are both excellent in this film and only let down by the direction, cinematography and art direction. The films premise is fun but not enough time is given for Ryan Reynold's character to accept what is happening. The begging set up is shallow and the conclusion is so so; but the middle of the film is quite enjoyable for what it is, Jeff Bridges shooting a gun at dead people. This film has so much potential so maybe with a better director with a less jarring style and better special effects this my have been a good movie. This feels like a watered down, safe, studio friendly version of what we could have got.
