I mean we have characters who are in deep debt with the Chinese mafia, have been abandoned by their father, had a mother who died after being evicted, living on scraps on the streets, attempted sexual assault victim. However, the writers try to achieve this by going overboard and giving everyone a troubled past.
I think everyone would agree that movies should try to make us empathize with the main characters. It's not to the skill level of parkour master David Belle in the French film District B13, but the chase scenes were certainly the best parts of movie. There were plenty of these chase scenes and they did bring some excitement in an otherwise dull movie. I'll give Tracers this, the parkour scenes were well done. So I thought I'd give Lautner the benefit of the doubt. Then again I used feel the same way about Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but lately they have been making good decisions in choosing their roles. Full Review: Let's be blunt here, other than the Twilight fans nobody is looking forward to a Taylor Lautner movie. Instead there are numerous instances of forced drama that you will not care about at all.
This should have been a simple crime-heist movie with some parkour action in it. In fact there is a severe lack of quality in acting and story logic. Other than the parkour scenes there is no other redeemable quality to Tracers. Cam soon finds himself in criminal world with higher stakes than he expected. In his desperation he joins a group of street runners who use their skills to commit high-paying crimes. Quickie Review: Burdened by the debt he owes the Chinese mafia, Cam (Taylor Lautner) must find a quick way to earn money.
