About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want high-energy action-comedy with daring, old-school stunts and a simple crime setup; Not for you if you need a tight, serious story with minimal goofiness—try Project A for a similar vibe.
Pros: jaw-dropping practical stunts; big crowd-pleasing set pieces; funny physical comedy | Cons: thin story beats; uneven tone shifts; slow, filler middle
