Watched this film last night with my other half. Before starting I asked what they thought would be the movie out of 5, they said 2.5, I said 3.5.
Secretly I was hoping it would be higher given there was association to the creator of The Raid and The Raid Redemption. Going in I was expecting minimal story with a ton of gory action, and some awesome choreography.
The first car chase scene was a dark, fuzzy, shaky mess with what definitely looked like poor CGI. It was giving me a bit of nostalgia from back when I used to play Max Payne.
Following action sequences were also all shaky cut cam, which really puts me off as you know the choreography is just not great. Where was the clean hard hitting action we would see from the likes of The Raid?
Story wise it met my expectations, a loose plot and helps drive the action sequences forward, but presenting me with a bunch of characters I just didn't care about.
I think my partner got the guess right, 2.5.
