As of the writing of this comment, the comment section contains only two: one that says it's awesome and another that says it's a "load of rubbish." What a strange film where both can be true. 6 years 7 months ago -

This movie is complicated and I'm not sure what I think of it. The action is pretty cool, but plotwise it left me a bit mixed. In some ways I appreciate that some characters are neither all good nor all bad, but that also leaves me ambiguous as to how the main character is supposed to feel about them. One character in particular is "redeemed" narratively but it feels unearned.
It shares a lot of blood with Besson's Nikita and Black's The Long Kiss Goodnight, as well as some John Wick moments, although it employs CG in fights a little more than any of those.
It also tends to employ smaller cameras with more fisheyed lenses to really get up close to the action, but it obscures the action at times as the wide FOV makes smaller things hard to see.
Overall I would say it is worth watching, but don't expect to finish it and feel satisfied in any sense other than the action sense. 5 years 6 months ago -
