A Surprisingly Stylish Action Movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2019)

This exceeded my expectations and I really enjoyed it. The plot is a basic one almost bordering on ludicrous, retired hitman is wronged and seeks revenge but when the action starts, wow. Reeves is excellent as the hero, the action sequences are slick and original, the mood, lighting and soundtrack rocks. There is humour and originality in many aspects to the movie. I especially liked the hotel for Villains storyline, which I believe they may be turning into a TV series. A really good watch. I only had one real gripe. Reeves is wronged at the start of the movie by three/four Russian Mafia but then goes on a rampage where he quite easily slaughters hundreds without breaking a sweat. Surely these few hoods at the start could not take out such a seasoned assassin. Then again it is Hollywood and without it we would not have a movie so will let it slide. Great Saturday night popcorn movie entertainment
