sharp, crisp, atmospheric action movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2017)

This is a very good and entertaining action movie and Keanu Reeves carries it effortlessly. Most of the scenes are done the old-fashioned way (sans-CGI) and the movie is better for it. Plot is simple but mercifully it is in straight line with no deviation from the main goal---get back to fun with imaginative action set pieces. The plot elements are clearly described in the trailer so I will not waste space here. One could argue (nitpicking) that the movies sometimes lacks a genuine tension and if there is a follow- up it would be good to see some of this without changing the general tone. Regardless this is high quality action movie--even for non-action movie lovers!
