Best Action Film since The Bourne Identity

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2015)

These people giving it less than 4 stars have no idea what makes an action film.
This was a near flawless action film with original sequences, a great cast, powerful scenes and a trip back to a noir theme (an underground culture of economy and honor among killers) that seemed to die out in the action films of the 80s. The closest to this, was maybe Ronin from 1998. The camera work was phenomenal and dialog above passable. When you have a movie audience sobbing and cheering, you have a good emotional grasp of the material. This film achieved art. I really appreciated the wide open plot continuation possibility, but sometimes great films are just left to stand alone.
