A lack of tension and a cyclical plot does little to draw you into this lacklustre third outing, and leaves you wondering if you even care about the fate of Tris and her mates.
The technical accomplishment on show delivers something watchable that goes a long way towards compensating for an ending that's non-existent.
Melissa McCarthy has been hilarious in the Paul Feig directed films Spy and Bridesmaids. And her character in The Boss shows the same aptitude for physical comedy, profanity and forwardness. Only this time, it's not so funny.

Ralph Fiennes couldn't make a bigger splash if he tried, rampaging through director Luca Guadagnino's relationship drama.
The things you learn at the pictures. Had I not seen Sacha Baron Cohen's new film, I might have gone through life sublimely unaware of the word "bukkake", let alone the concept. That may have been no bad thing, of course.
The latest offering from the inimitable Coen brothers is Hail, Caesar!, a goofy love letter to the golden age of Hollywood.
Soap opera melodrama and visual effects wizardry combine in a mythical Egyptian fantasy adventure - and it's an uncomfortable mix.
