Holy **** this is one wild ride! Great action! Camera work is phenomenal! It puts you right in the midst of everything. Fight/Shootout scenes are stellar and even hilarious at times...sort of John Wick-ish overall. Solid plot...nothing groundbreaking. Just a really fun watch. Almost feels like a modernized 80's action hero flick.
Yeah the action was flat out insane in this. Had me on the edge of my seat thru out it. Would have liked some more character development on Hemsworth's character but overall its a good action film. Highly recommend it to anyone that has Netflix and doesn't mind a lot of brutal violence. [Reply]
Nothing really missed a beat or took me out of it.
Except the initial premise that I’m a bit foggy on. So the caretaker (who was a pretty BAMF himself) hired the crew to find the kid so he could kidnap the kid and not pay. Do I have that right? [Reply]

Re: character development. I don’t hate it. I thought it got done what it needed to. The acting was really good where it needed to be. Hemsworth when dealing with the Kid, the woman regarding Hemsworth, the kid especially, the caretaker.
As has been stated the action is really good. It’s interesting to watch Hemsworth the actor. He’s always been good at nuance and emotion. But this is probably the first time he looked the part as a soldier. IMO he was really good in both Red Dawn and 12 strong. But this time was his best performance at BMI I gotta like a soldier. Obviously he’s put in the work. I get some of it is a stunt double. Some of it though isn’t. He moved and looked like a guy that has been in battle. [Reply]
Great action, but damn did it jump the shark after:
Spoiler!
The kid kills one of his best buddies, then he partners up with the guy who killed a bunch of his mercenary friends. I would have killed him and said fuck this kid.
