9/10
Love This!!
26 August 2022
I really love this movie. This is that sorta movie I could watch back to back to back, and still want more. Nothing for me falls flat. To see Christopher Lloyd as a badass action hero and Bob Odenkirk as the former badass wanting more, is just amazing. After seeing haha funny men like Bryan Cranston and Adam Sandler take on drama roles and killing it I was just waiting for some more. And this gives me just what I wanted. Every actor does their job perfectly from the villain played by Aleksej Serebrjakov to the neon character played by Bob Odenkirk. The film is basically a Polar, Hardcore Henry and John Wick mix. Taking the action and brutality elements from all and taking the story from John Wick and flipping it on its head. The hero is no longer this killing machine who wanted out and a ordinary life, and when they got the ordinary life they loose everything and come out from retirement. These are hero's who want action, who need action and lust for it. This is the hero that begs the villain to follow after him, the hero who rather wanted to keep the ordinary life, wanted to escape back into the ecstasy filled world of action. What else is there to be said? The movie is shot, directed and choreographed perfectly. The fight scenes are fluent and bear weight as every character and elements around them is used. The brutality is on full display and we see fights that actually could be plausible instead of normal Hollywood crap. All the actors are perfect and do their jobs magnificently. The humor lands and the plot keeps you entertained the whole way. The soundtrack is lovely and I could listen to the end sequence song all day "Don't let me be misunderstood" by Nina Simone. In conclusion: It's Saul Goodman, RZA and Doc Brown kicking bad guys in John Wick fashion, what's not to love!?
