The poster and description do nothing to inspire watching it, but I finally gave it a go and wow it surprised me. It’s an awesome revenge flick.

The main character basically Rocky Balboas his way into becoming John Wick and it’s a fun ride. They even call him John Wick at one point, which usually would be eye rolling but it’s funny. There’s some fun religious stuff thrown in, and really good fight choreography.

At one point I had to pause for the bathroom and was really happy I was only half way through it.

I highly recommend it.

    I liked it, it was good, but I wasn’t a fan of it devolving into a john wick action flick in the climax. The rest of the film before that was great.

      I didn’t like the training montage where he levels up his fighting skills, I wished it had been magic or divine intervention that made him a better fighter, or maybe if he just gradually progressed throughout the movie.

        I was surprised it took him forever to be a better fighter. During those scenes right before hes taken in by the religious people I kept saying “you fight every night, what are you doing!?”
