This was my most recent mindless action flick of the moment. It’s on Netflix right now and stars Tom Hardy.
I think l’ve seen enough of his work that l know what l’m going to get. He plays a broody dude really well and he has a distinctive voice.
This flick started off a little slow for me. Sure, it starts off with a high speed car chase where cops are chasing a semi through city streets, but how many flicks start off with a car chase? Plenty.
After that you get thrust in to a very Gotham like setting with dirty politicians, dirty cops, dirtier cops, and the Cantonese mafia.
If l would’ve “half hour ruled” it l probably would’ve cut it off, but l stuck with it and l’m glad l did.
it took about half the movie but it came together pretty well, at least for a mindless action flick.
The action sequences are vivid. They’re ridiculous in spots, videogame-esque with blood splatter and super judo moves. It’s full throttle once it gets going. The flick does live up to its name.
The story line came together pretty well too. There’s a lot about it that is completely unbelievable, but it worked for me.
I give it a B-.
