About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an over-the-top, R-rated revenge thriller with big performances, nasty intensity, and “so crazy it’s fun” moments; Not for you if you need realism, subtlety, or low-violence action like Commando.
Pros: intense cat-and-mouse rivalry; wild, nonstop momentum; memorable villain energy | Cons: far-fetched plot turns; uneven tone shifts; heavy violence and sleaze
