Smashing film. I think the public perception of action has been marvelised -or they think John Wick is peak action -- it's not. It's second screen action. Action of no consequence - he fell four storeys and walked away in the last film... So please - don't talk about realism. This film is gritty, nasty and has a heightened reality - the guns are loud, the squbs are loaded and bullets are never ending -- no it's not realistic - but it's impactful, not glorified. The Story is fine - all the threads tie together... It's not unoriginal but it's original in its delivery. This is from the dude that brought you the Raid, and the Raid is up there with police story, for action. It's as if John Woo came into my living room and punched me in the face... AndI like it!

A nod and a wink to the Harry Palmer type thriller - though it lacks the charm. Well made, well performed, well crafted just missing that certain something
