The issue seems to be you were expecting a campy movie when it's actually a sincere movie. This is not even in the same category as Snakes on a Plane. You're grading it's 'fun' level on a campy scale. Whereas I think most people are enjoying it sincerely. It's just a fun movie that's more akin to straight to DVD action films than campy shlock produced by Troma.

I thought it was a good movie and deserves the 6.5 rating. Butler holds the movie together well, Coulter made for a fun buddy, I disagree that the action was bad. Overall the movie is pretty good and hence got a pretty good rating from most people. So the answer to your question is, your opinion is subjective and happens to disagree with the majority opinion. That's fine. Just move on and don't become one of those people that's posting hateful threads about the sequel Ship when it comes out in a couple years. Because it's probably going to be more of the same. So save yourself the headache and just move on.

What is the scam here? Making a product people didn't know they wanted? It just seems like a good gamble. Because if it was that easy to 'just make a shitty cynical horror movie and make millions' then everyone would be doing it. They took a stab at a movie and it just happened to hit. That it's low budget and not very good is irrelevant. The streets of hollywood could be paved with all the shitty low budget movies produced every year that no one watches. Kudos to these people for actually getting eyes on their movie which is no easy feat.

Mainly you seem super bummed you didn’t get to see Ana De Armas get thrown around and savaged by some dude.

Furthermore your rhetoric regarding rape is downright alarming. I don’t imagine you’ve had consensual intercourse with the opposite sex in some time.

"I finally saw the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Is that what people were so freaked out about? It was like five minutes long! Those guys didn't have to be there, they could have turned around"
