This shit had GTA written all over it. I've always wanted to see a GTA movie made and this is probably the closest we'll ever see, both style and content wise. I kept waiting for an Ammunation store to pop up somewhere, or some completely absurd radio commercial to come on.

I'm betting we get a sequel because there was some nice, subtle world building here that sort of demands further exposition. It stands on it's own but once he hit the Wet Work Hotel I wanted to know more about everything and everyone in the movie.

This felt like Payback, Kill Bill, GTA, Shoot 'Em Up, and Guy Ritchie (think Rock N Rolla) had an orgy and somehow tiny elements of all that DNA blended into a very stripped, bare bones baby with a bright future.

All in all this was the biggest and best surprise of the year. Summer was a bummer overall but damn have we had some great action flicks this year.
