This dystopian thriller features an international cast that's just one of several key components that doesn't make a lot of sense.

What is it that makes us decide, when we get to the movies, to buy a ticket and see one film over another?...Afterburn justifies at least one [reason] (the cast, as we'll see). [Full review in Spanish]

It couldn't be more linear, and yet the story manages to get bogged down in every moment where there aren't grenades exploding in people's faces. [Full review in Spanish]

(Director) J.J. Perry saddles Bautista with a severely underdeveloped example of the reluctant hero archetype, preferring that he punch, shoot and drive his way through a wasteland of action movie clichés rendered in relentless blacks and grays

... feels like it’s recombining ideas from other vigilante thrillers and post-apocalyptic sagas without bringing much new to the table.

Good action. Direction is a bit thin. Bautista's acting talents are improving but he did not get as much directing here as with Guardians. He is none-the-less very likeable. Worth the popcorn.

Straight up action movie. Some contrived plot points to move the story along. Some build up of tough opponents that were easily taken care of. Predictable.
