I stop being entertained by these whenever people stop shooting each other, which is about 75% of the movie. The acting, dialogue, worldbuilding and plotting are so horrendously bad, which could still make for a nice guilty pleasure if it at the very least has fun with itself, but it wants to be serious and cool so bad. It’s like one of those direct to dvd/streaming action films that isn’t aware of the fact that it’s schlock, just with ridiculous good action scenes (I still want Keanu to feel less invincible, but that’s a minor thing) and more of a budget. Whenever I watch these I just wish that Stahelski would abandon this franchise and direct second unit for Bond or Mission Impossible, way more suited to his talents.
