There are two things which are entirely overused in modern movies that greatly annoy me:
1. Shaky cameras. I understand it's supposed to add suspense, but it doesn't. It's just annoying and you can't see what's going on at all. Just because it worked for Blair Witch doesn't mean every single movie made since then has to use it too.
2. Matrix/Crouching Tiger moves. Once again, it's not a concept you can just build a movie around, and that's what this movie felt like to me. The plot was an excuse to use matrix style action scenes, and frankly that was extremely annoying.
That's not to say the entire movie was not enjoyable; I loved the part where he flipped over the Limo and was like, "I'm Sorry!" XD
Still, If I had known it before I went to the movie theater, I wouldn't have gone.
