Tired of gun violence

Rating: 5/10 (12 November 2014)

I had a couple of hours to kill, and being a Keanu Reeves fan (especially for his dedication to the martial arts genre) I thought I'd check this out. First half hour was enjoyable. It felt like a 70s grind house action thriller.
Then came the video game carnage. Scene after scene of underworld minions getting shot in the face at point blank range. I'm sorry. I walked out at the hour mark. I realize I missed a cool car chase at the end - and that sucks. But I'm just tired of it. Tired, tired, tired. Tired of gun violence in movies, man. It's not just morally objectionable, it's just not exciting, it's just boring. So depressing to see Keanu involved in this kind of project. What really pisses me off too is when critics give lousy ratings to Tyler Perry movies which have nothing but positive messages and then lavish praise on this movie which is nothing but casual throw-away gun violence from beginning to end. Oh yes, but it's so stylish. Yeah right.
