First of all, this is more like an art installation than it is a movie.
It's art. More precisely Martial Art.
The low ratings are probably fair if you expected a movie as we have come to expect movies. However, if you are a lover of Martial Art, you may appreciate this film.
Assuming you're a martial arts fan, you have seen Marko Zaror before. He was the guy breaking Boyka's leg in Undisputed 3. He was the guy getting beat up by Alita the battle Angel in the bar fight. He was the guy giving John Wick a hard time in the 4th installment.
Needless to say, Marko Zaror has the moves, and this movie is a testament of those moves. It is a travelogue through Chile showcasing the land and Zaros's skills.
It's not Boyka or Battle Angel, so don't expect to be dragged into the story. It is a visual experience of the art known as martial art.

There was a similar show a while ago called The Finder (2012) which had a similar premise. This is a bit different though. While still light hearted, it's not a comedy/drama but a drama with occasional comedy.
It could have been cool if he was the guy doing stuff - like MacGyver - but this guy has a team on his rooster that are all superfluous. All of the things his team does, he could just as well do himself.
All the scenes with his team are boring and seems to be shoehorned into an otherwise promising show. The show has the same vibes as Human Target (2010), but based on what we've seen so far, I'm not sure if it will be as good as that was.
Still, happy to see a drama/action show with 0 supernatural stuff going on. If I could have my pick, we'd have a new Punisher episode every day, but these fillers will have to do for now.
