Worth watching if you haven't seen it. Same premise; just more down to earth plus it's worth watching assholes get what they deserve.

To be fair, I don't like watching humans being tortured either. Can't stand the Rob Zombie movies or others like Hostel. Basic killing like action or old-school slasher flicks are fine.

Just have a soft spot for animals. Cried like a baby at the end of Jurassic Bark and the dog wasn't even physically hurt...and it's a cartoon...

Solid Snake

what? I seriously read that as Jurassic Park and I honestly tried to remember a dog in there. Bark? Turns out it as a Futurama episode. I remember the ending and it was well deserved. I remember getting sad... I think.

Noonan

Lol...I think I remember a dog in Jurassic Park somewhere but yeah, I meant Futurama. Shit stuck with me.

fumanstan

Yeah, that's basically what I was getting at. It doesn't sound like this movie is particularly violent towards the dog anyway.

I'm eager to see this, curious to see how well the Rotten Tomato meter holds up. Only 17 reviews so far, but all positive.

Reviews seem to be holding up, still at 91% at the moment, 32-4. Looks like i'll be checking this out this weekend.

Solid Snake

That's pretty damn good for an action flick.

RichC2

B movie/genre pics done right seem to get a lot of critical love these days, The Guest had a similarly high 93%

Shannon Nutt

I'd really like to see this take the top spot this weekend, but I'm guessing both the horrible title and Keanu's past couple poor performances at the B.O. are going to hurt this.

Maybe word of mouth will keep it around for a few weeks.

A friend of mine got to see an advance screening the other night and she told me she loved it. Hopefully this will get good word of mouth.

Troy Stiffler

For better or worse, the buzz reads similar to Dredd.

RichC2

But the ads/trailers aren't nearly as shitty as they were for Dredd, so I guess we'll see.

Solid Snake

Good. We need better action flicks.

Sounds like this is basically in the same mold as the dozens of Issac Florentine/Koichi Sakamoto/Kurt Anderson/Jeff Pruitt kind of stuff that was all over VHS racks back in the 1990s action glory days, but this time on 900 screens because the production values are so much easier to gloss up when it's shot in 4K. The digital age is an amazing thing. Sounds like this'll be right up my alley, I'll probably check it out if I manage to fucking survive through work this weekend. Maybe I'll hit up my local LIEMAX.

SuckaMC

I want to try to catch this this weekend. I hope it does well.

Why So Blu?

Yeah, a friend of mine saw this and he fucking loved it.

Matthew Chmiel

Saw an 8:00pm showing. Wanted to go to IMAX, but my friends didn't want to pay the extra surcharge.

It was a fucking blast and one of the best slow burn action films in years.

SuckaMC

Saw it. Loved it. Great action from Keanu.

Solid Snake

This film was fucking badass. Sleek as a motherfucker. Very nice film. Can't wait for the BD.

dek

Kick ass film, I would definitely pay to see it again.

Solid Snake

Also... the cast was all kinds of awesome. I loved them all.

Really dug the Perkins fight.

RocShemp

I just came back from it and it is badass. Some random thoughts I had while watching it were this is the Max Payne movie we never got, the directors (one of them was billed as a producer due to union rules) should direct a Punisher movie, it's great to see Keanu fight Daniel Bernhardt (back in the 90's he was known as the poor man's Van Damme and you might remember him from the Mortal Kombat TV series and The Matrix Reloaded) several times, the casting of even the bit parts was fantastic (Bridget Regan was looking all kinds of hot as the bartender), and the action was how all Hollywood action movies should be shot (especially when it comes to hand-to-hand action). Also, I kinda wish the movie had been called Baba Yaga.


Overall a fantastic movie that I eagerly look forward to owning on BD.

Don't you mean the Perkins fight? She only had one action sequence (I don't count the minor scene with Harry).

Solid Snake

...uh.... Yeah. I said the Perkins fight. I'm confused now.

RocShemp

Hmmm. For some reason I thought you wrote "fights". I must be tired.

Solid Snake

ha.

I really dug the subtitles to this film. Just everything about it was wonderfully sleek and confident.
