  "account": "A group of ex-soldiers or pseudo-soldiers embark on a mission to find hidden cash in Tehran, but director Guy Moshe fails to capture the fun that military heists once had. The film's over-the-top introduction, a savage shooting gallery set during the War in Afghanistan, is jingoistic and lacking in depth. The main character, Larry, suffers from mental deterioration and divulges classified information about missing government funds. The mercenaries are brought together to rescue an intelligence asset's daughter and retrieve the money. However, the plot is far-fetched and poorly executed, with misogyny, xenophobia, and poor CGI. Despite the biblical opening, The Fix ultimately fails to deliver any redeeming qualities.",
  "summary": "Don't be fooled by Liam Neeson's name, the military drek of The Fix is a Zachary Levi film through and through.",
