The Marauders

Heist plus special forces plus revenge plus police procedural... Perfect combo? Well, at least the possibility exists. I wouldn't put this on the perfection category by any means, but it was an interesting take none-the-less. The characters were sufficiently drawn to give rationale to the plot (albeit cheap character history like murdered-family-in-the-past or set-up-by-corrupt-superior-officers, etc). The plot navigated sufficient possible branches for long enough, but not for too long (so crazy justifications weren't necessary for story resolution). While this is basically a meh! review, I have to admit that putting all these things together well is not obvious or easy. So appreciate a quality meh! for what it is.
3 stars
