There's not much story line for this movie as it's basically just an all out action film with little characterization and standard character clichés but as long as you go the movie knowing that you'll have a good time. I had a good time watching it but still couldn't turn my entire mind off as I watched it.
But I will admit the action scenes are good. Evans does a great job of not over editing the action scenes but letting the audience actual see the actors learned choreography - this is how a director is supposed to direct action scenes - without confusion. They are filmed with great communication and completely over the top and are basically the only reason to watch this movie.
The main failing of this movie is that it tries to put some twists and turns in the story despite the fact the movie doesn't invest anything in characters or story line. So when the movie wants to put these types of twist, turns, or character development moments in the movie - they become to much, to late because they didn't have anything in the first to support these types of shifts when they come. See the movie Die Hard for setting up characters and twists. Also there really isn't a good villain to drive the action forward and any action movie needs a good villain to reflect the hero, which also this movie doesn't have. There is no solid hero to root for.
