Yes, the humor and setup grew old by the end. And like Longo said, the ending is really bad and unbelievable.

But in between are really likable characters played by charismatic actors. Lots of self-growth and self-help humor, which was legitimately funny as someone who has exposed himself to a fair share of that philosophy.

And while the action wasn't nearly at a fever pitch like John Wick, it was fun enough for me. Then again, I don't have much of an appetite for graphic violence anyway anymore. Maybe I like the movie less if the intensity and realism were dialed up.

The movie did seem a bit long and had that feeling where you're already 2 hours in and realize that the final battle hasn't happened yet, so you grow frustrated you'll be in your seat for another 20 minutes.

But if you subscribe to leaving *any* expectations in the lobby and turn your brain off for a couple of hours, you'll have a good time.

BTW, Ryan-Reynoldsification of action should be a meme. Very funny and on-point.

Like a late-90s ripoff-Tarantino riff mixed with Ryan Reynolds humor.
