It's a very straight forward light-noir, but fun all the way through because the cast is great and the script is clever. It doesn't overwork itself trying to be anything more complicated than it needs to be and is filled with plenty of fun references and head nods. The perfect level of self-aware.
A lot of nice ideas that never really reach their heights. Fun for the concepts. I wish they were better realized.
2 movies and I still don't get what a Quiznos Hat Rack is.
Its gonzo John Wick. I loved it.
Absurd, campy, over the top in every direction, and yet it pulls it all together. Some people might think it's a poor clone of Wick or the 80s/90s action cinema it tributes, but it was just fun. As long as it executes it well, no complaints from me.
This is Statham at some of his finest
Its intentionally campy and an obvious love letter to stupid b-movie logic and dialog. It just doesn't sing.
If you LOVE bad horror and cornball dialog with completely illogical characters who make bizarre decisions and say things that make little sense other than to hamfist a plot, then this is your bag.
I don't say those things to criticize. They are what they are, and sometimes they're charming. Sometimes they're what people look forward to.
I just found it uninspired and a rehash of played out concepts better executed in other movies.
