About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, silly, ultra-violent battle royale with constant chases and explosions; Not for you if you dislike gore, nudity, or implausible plotting—think closer to The Hills Have Eyes than The Caller.
Pros: nonstop action; darkly comic tone; wild set pieces | Cons: thin character depth; plot holes; over-the-top gore
