🎯 Verdict
"Supposed to be the action movie of the year. Supposedly aims to cross the limits of Monkey Man meeting The Man from Nowhere, let alone the Raid movies. But, by the sharp jagged edges of broken glasses, I kid you not when I say how funny the action sequences were. Even though I am a huge admirer of the quintessential Hong Kong style bullet ballet rhythmic gun-fu and martial arts choreography. This was excessively dramatic, cartoonish, grandiloquent and requires quite a higher threshold of suspension of disbelief. Violent, bloody and brutal, sure. Imaginative and unique, Nope. Didn't work for me."
