Edgy pile of manure This films tries way too hard to capitalise on the success of John Wick and Kingsman, and yet somehow ironically misses its mark. It tries too hard to be edgy; he has a dog like John Wick and in trying to turn the genre on its head, he kills it himself. This, and when the henchmen for once abandon their doomed boss are the only breaths of fresh air in the film. The action scenes are all nonsensicle, taking stormtrooper aim to a whole new level and the evil villains to new realms of caricature, being repulsive, cocky, stupid and edgily evil with no real motive. It fails misserably. Breif backstory is squashed into the plot trying to make the audience care a bit more for the characters but at the end of the day we really don't. If you're looking for a fun action film to have fun with, look somewhere else, even transformers is better than this steaming pile of manure, at least the action scenes in that are a good laugh. The only good thing about this, as always, is Mads's acting, but if its him you're watching it for just rewatch a bit of Hannible as this really isn't worth your time.
