About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward, old-school action thriller with a high body count and a reluctant-team-up dynamic, similar in spirit to The Mechanic; Not for you if you need fresh twists or deep character work.
Pros: hard-hitting action; simple revenge setup; throwback tough-guy vibe | Cons: generic story beats; uneven supporting performances; weak partner chemistry
