Wow...not good
The raid director made this trash pile? The Raid is top tier, this movie is not comparable in any way. Weird!
Man, this was a low quality action flick with very few compelling moments and a horrifically bad story. It had this bizarre thing of having people get shot for too long? With dramatic sprays of blood that no other action filmmaker ever thought was necessary. Like riddled with bullets almost like the Tim and Eric parody skit CORBS (watch that, save yourself some time) yet took itself so seriously and was humorless.
This movie ripped off tons of far better movies. You know the nightclub shootout scenes in Collateral and John Wick 1? The barn shootout in LA confidential? Yeah so does this filmmaker but failed to remotely reproduce the quality. Hardy was probably least interesting he's ever been, he could be badass with a gritty action flick but with this lame story and character it was so meaningless, what a waste. I'm shocked TO and FW did this, it was beneath them.
There was a contrived nature to the action where absurdly, infuriatingly, the untrained outnumbered good guy group managed to make every single shot they took, dodge clouds of bullets and take down DOZENS of gangsters while taking no damage themselves. Star Wars stormtroopers are chuckling in tubs of popcorn right now, saying Come on bruh!
The premise was paper-thin, CGI or not, it was all equally inauthentic, you care about no one throughout the entire bloated runtime. This really sucked.
