well, when someone says poor directing an then says the only reason to watch were the two actors, well, that has something to do with the directing (how they are filmed, blocking, camera style, etc). And their interaction is the writing and the directing. Sure the actors are compelling because they look cool and have the intensity for the characters. But that was also the director's choice to cast them. I just say this not to argue but to show that a film requires multiple players to make the actors stand out. Over all it was good. Better than most. Probably not big budget. It wasn't relentless action, which I liked. The Hollow Men reference was a little corny, but still they brought a literary reference at least and it was fitting. And I'm ok with corporation bad because, well, it was. But doesn't matter how many times media reveals the sociopath that lies at the heart of most (see the doc The Corporation) we still give over our power and agency to them, whether voting against our interest or tolerating corporate overlords control of democracy and government. Oh well.
