The Last Days of American Crime (Edgar Ramirez, Michael Pitt, Dir: Olivier Megaton) - Blu-ray Forum

As a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. Graham Bricke (Édgar Ramírez), a career criminal who was never able to hit the big score, teams up with famous gangster progeny Kevin Cash (Michael Pitt), and black market hacker Shelby Dupree (Anna Brewster), to commit the heist of the century and the last crime in American history before the signal goes off. Based on the Radical Publishing graphic novel created by Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini, The Last Days of American Crime is directed by Olivier Megaton, written by Karl Gajdusek, produced by Jesse Berger, p.g.a., Jason Michael Berman, p.g.a., and Barry Levine, with Sharlto Copley also co-starring.

Coming to Netflix on June 5. I didn't know who was directing it until I was making this thread. Now it's a hard pass.

As a fan of Edgar Ramirez I’ll check this out.

I think he deserves a better career!

Megaton is a terrible director. Transporter 3 seems to have been edited in a blender after being shot over a long weekend. Unless Megaton has accepted 'restraint' in his super-choppy editing style, i'm giving this film a hard pass.

I thought I will give this a chance, then I saw the thread title and realized who its director is

The reviews are bad, to no one's surprise. However, what really shocked me is that it's 2.5 hours long. 2.5 hours of Olivier Megaton!!!

When I first noticed Olivier Megaton's name, the Seinfeld theme started playing in my head.
