Action fun that doesn't take itself too seriously

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2018)

I enjoyed this film and look forward to sequels with the same leads. Renner and Atterton get their parts just right. When you're dealing with witch hunting and using very modern upgrades on the weaponry of the time I think violence is going to be inevitable, but it isn't of the sadistic kind shown by Tarrantino. What could be reduced is the swearing. Both Renner and Atterton coming separately upon the original gingerbread house where the baddie has taken refuge and both saying "You've gotta be kidding" is funny and doesn't need 'fucking' inserted there. Sometimes it was appropriate, but more often it was dispensable - and why limit your audience by alienating people who are fine with violence but don't like gratuitous swearing?
