I would watch Mads and Katheryn Winnick in pretty much anything, including a documentary about aggy football dominance in the SEC and B12.

maybe a comedy/drama, but not a documentary.  that would be impossible.

Fantastic movie.

I know nothing of the source material, so I went in with no expectations.

I love me some Mads and he was great.

It’s fairly gory but in a comic booky way.

It’s also really funny in a dark way.

Hopefully there’s a sequel.

I was looking forward to this but turned it off after 30 minutes.  Maybe I just don't get the source material, fine to each his/her own.

It seemed like a poor mash up of Kill Bill (great) and Smoken Aces (sucked), but it couldn't decide what the hell it wanted to be.  So it went from brooding tension to ridiculous cartoon character villains from one second to the next.

Maybe it got better as it went along but fuck it, with Netflix it's always hit or miss so I checked out.

I'd say it was trying for the John Wick edge, but ended up a cornier version of Smokin Aces, so yeah, good call on that one.

How did he know to duck when he was fucking the hottie and the sniper had him in his sights?

Fun watch on the heels of punisher. 

Sindy and dem titties. 

 

I know nothing of dark horse material, but was aware of the name. I wonder if they have other stuff to be adapted.

I thought he had her pegged when he saw her unzip her jacket to show off her boobs when he was watching her in his side mirror as she walked up to his car to ask for help.

She pulled the exact same move - blow job time and BLAM - in the opening scene with the assassin in Chile.

Since they all worked for Damocles, I just figured he had heard about how the “A Team” as Blut called them operated.

OpSec didn’t appear to be real important.

This movie was fucking terrible. It wants to be a cross between John Wick and Kill Bill, but ends up being about as good as Freddy Got Fingered

How does it compare to say, Shoot 'Em Up with Clive Owen?  Know nothing about this, but from above, that is the oeuvre I'm feeling.  If so, seems like fun.

You guys are tough on movies. 

I actually thought the opening scene had a Kingsman vibe, specially the second Kingsman.

If there was a surly version of a Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, our summaries would read:

”This movie was one the shittiest movies ever made, but it was also one of the best movies ever to pass over my mortal eyeballs.  The acting was spectacular and Oscar-worry, while also making one think of some shitty community theater project.  The director must have been a clone of Hitchcock or Kubrick with the stunning visuals, choreography, and dialogue, but he or she also appears to have taken a bowling ball to the head during film-making.  Repeatedly.  I fucking hate this movie, but I would give up my firstborn to watch it again, if that’s what it takes.”

That movie does not get the street cred it deserves.

the ass and titties werent from katheryn winnick so meh

halfway through the movie I thought "This movie is so bad even Katheryn Winnick licking a strippers ass can't save it"

Then our hero took that chick with the great rack to pound town and it got better.

It was terrible... but so close to being great.  The main villain made it unwatchable.  Replace him with someone like Christopher Waltz and suddenly the move is amazing.

I really liked the vibe for the 1st half of the movie. Had a decent pulp type feel to it. I thought it went downhill after he went to the mansion, minus the fight scenes. Also felt the reveal at the end was rushed. Final scene seemed like a set up for a sequel.

The whole movie can be summed up with one word:  gratuitous

acting?  ran the gamut from good to meh to cringy

plot?  haha.  only one real potential surprise, but not really

emotionally / intellectually engaging?  fuck no

entertaining?  yeah, I was entertained

Siskel? Ebert? Just frauds compared to atomheartbevo

Wish he had actually been confronted by each of those assasins individually and fought them, rather than take them all out with guns in one scene. Although it was pretty bad ass naked in the cold.
