2. "The action absolutely rocks." In response to Reply # 0
The story is threadbare, to put it nicely, and it's not really fair to this movie to belong to the John Wick universe, since that means it'll inevitably be compared to one of the best action franchises in history...
... but over half this movie is Stahelski (or Stahelski-style, at minimum) action. Word is he reshot a ton of this, but even if you didn't know that, you can just tell it's action by the guy who did the John Wicks. I cackled with glee through most of the last hour of this. Easily worth the price of admission imo.
