An action movie doesn't begin to describe the impeccability of what I've just witnessed. A modern day Die Hard to say the least; Holiday Monday will be a future reference to all other directors. We begin with two actors; Nathan Shepka and Colin MacDougall. The witty banter and display of charisma when producing their lines is wonderful; The one-liners and repartee in this movie was nothing short of stupendous, I absolutely burst out laughing multiple times during this production due to the crippling burns laid down upon the cast like the plague of locusts to Egypt. Not to mention the fluency and swarve of the choreography in this movie; they make short work of their opponents, I can tell the director had large influence from John Wick and hints of uniqueness alike with Kingsman.
The plot, my gosh I thought I was reading classic literature; two body guards, both with prestigious backgrounds in the military see themselves out of their depths when they get themselves wrapped up in a drug king (beautifully portrayed by John Michael-love I believe) pin's maniacal games. He is the purest dealer out there and by gosh is he the most insane, the sheer presence of this character gave me goose bumps, the crazed laughing, the smiles, the way the director uses light in particular to portray his emotions is frightening; God I thought I was watching Heath Ledger for a second.
I do not wish to spoil more at this time, but this heart wrenching tail really had me going for a second towards the end. But truly the best part was when the tracker was revealed to be in the vest and not the santa hat, I spat out my juice, truly. I'd also like to take time to compliment other actors: the assassin, Gina, portrayed by Jemima Spence; maybe a little derivative of the best assassins in movie history, Leon and Anton Chigurh for example, but done wonderfully. Also Kayla Caldwell as Maddy did a fantastic job, her catchphrase will probably be the last thing I think of when I die (and I'll die with a smile). Also Jay Graham did a great job, dude must've travelled the universe for thousands of years and back to find a performance that amazing.
In conclusion, this sex-joke fuelled, heart palpitating, guns blazing, mad Action ride is truly deserving of a 1/10.
