Synopsis: a bank robber dates a witness

My reaction
Concept: Is it just me, or does this synopsis sound like it should have been a bad Adam Sandler comedy?
Story:
Characters: I cannot get into a movie with no character to care about.  Could be someone likable, someone cool, someone interesting... whatever, I'm not picky, just give me something. Also, I really, really do not care about Ben Affleck's mother.

Music: Is this an action thriller, or a Ken Burns documentary?
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, ). I don't get what people see in this. It's got some okay action scenes, but nothing exceptional. Mostly I was bored because I had no reason to care. Have mainstream thrillers really fallen so low that this one is able to stand out?
