Anyone check this out? Came out on Netflix a few days ago. Not going to win any awards or anything, but a pretty decent action flick for a Sunday night. It kind of has a grimy and dark Gotham City/Comic Book feel to it.

Tom Hardy and the rest of the cast do a pretty good job. The gun shootout scenes are wayyyy over the top but entertaining.

I give it a 6.5/10, but for netflix its probably a 7.5-8 out of 10 lol.

Minimal plot, lot of action. Meh. Watched it once but won't need to watch again.

Not yet but will this week.

From the director of The Raid so the action should be pretty epic. And if you haven't seen that and its sequel you should correct that ASAP.

Saw this come up but haven't watched it yet. I'm sure I will soon, as I'm always up for a good shoot em up movie with some star power.

Besides, now that the NFL draft is over there's nothing to look forward to sports- wise for a long time.

I thought it was fun, definitely not top-tier when it comes to plot but the chases and fight scenes were real entertaining.

Well, that nightclub scene which was more like a quarter of the movie started off as sort of a John Wick style scene minus the guns. Who knew a meat cleaver could be so effective? Then when you thought they were done...well, that was just the opening act. Time to bring out the guns...

Band of Brothers Tom Hardy



Tom Hardy today:



Guy is great in everything he does, except Capone. That was a terrible movie all around.

I'll watch anything with Tom Hardy in it.

But really, I wish he'd drop all these other projects and make season 2 of Taboo.

Finally got around to watching this, I'm very forgiving when it comes to action movies (love Scott Adkins films) but good lord this was a mess.

The extreme shaky cam in the fight sequences (and the big final scene happening in the dark) meant you had no real idea what was going on half the time, everything moved so fast and staging was hard to follow. I had high expectations considering the director and was kinda disappointed in the action, there were some interesting things happening but following it was really tough.

That said even for this kind of movie the story was pretty lacking. Everybody is corrupt, ok that tracks for the genre. But early on we have Charlie and Mia get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time when the uncle double crosses the family then everyone just accepts the fact that these two amateurs took out like 20 Chinese gang members with fully automatic weapons and proceed to pursue them the entire film? Uncle then decides to go assassinate a cop in the hospital with an automatic weapon rather than like trying to be subtle? Young cop then takes him out, just leaves the multiple homicide crime scene, and decides to set up the other corrupt cops totally on her own? There's also the question of how they found Walker's cabin as the only connection they knew of to him was the quick phone call where they hung up on them.

I was really wanting to like this one and it was just so very forgettable.

I thought this movie was just plain dumb and not good. The car chase scenes looked completely CGI and like I was watching a video game.

The whole thing felt like crappy cgi, literally almost every other scene.

This is the kind of movie that should only be watched on a plane. Total waste of time when you have the free will to get up and go outside or do something else.
