I wanted this to be a sleeper hit. The kind of movie that might fly under the radar because of it's February release and it's atypical leading man, but I'd be proud to show it off as a hidden gem to friends. Instead it's more of a movie I'm likely to hardly remember in a couple of years.
It's not awful. It's plot is overly simplistic and it kind of meanders its way through its runtime, even while giving ample time for extended fight scenes. Some of the jokes land. Some of them don't. It's ultimately derivative of better examples of this kind of movie - Kill Bill, John Wick, Hard Candy - but it's more charming than the average knockoff, which I attribute to a fun cast.
