Shooting is cartoony, characters miss a whole lot but fire a lot of bullets with almost no precision, combat is visceral, satisfying and gory and in style of the director, very similar in the way it was shot to the legendary The Raid, camera follows the action closely but as the action itself is hectic so is the camera so a lot of the scenes move really fast and have quick cuts in between action pieces.
Story is predictable and you start to understand the whole narrative in the first 30 mins and characters are too one dimensional to even slightly care about them.
Tom Hardy gives a slightly better performance here than he did in Venom, his character is gruff, gritty and jaded and he manages to somewhat sell it, but he shines in his fight choreography which is simply put glorious and over the top.
Gun violence on the other hand seems too gratuitous, characters suffer multiple injuries yet somehow are still left standing and are able to one shot someone else. Precision is completely thrown out the window in some segments of the movie, in one scene a character is shot through a car window with a shotgun blast that barely scratches him and in the next a character riding a train is shot down multiples times from a big distance with a pistol.
The entirety of the traffic in the movie is for some reason almost completely computer generated, cars move unrealistically and really look out of place, ruining the immersion and making the whole viewing experience seem really cheap. Pistols sound epic but not in a realistic way as every pistol fired sounds like a cannon being shot and a lot of pistols in the movie seem to have rapid fire capabilities in one scene then suddenly becoming single shot in the next. Submachine guns firing sounds like miniguns.
You really have to suspend your disbelief when watching this movie as it's so hilariously unrealistic.

But this is an average episode, sure, its well acted by Paul Giamatii but that's about it, it's slow, it's boring and the character development that does happen in the episode was something to be expected, there's no shock factor, nothing bizarre happens even the ending has no emotional value whatsoever.
The concept was okay but an earlier episode from the 1st season called "The entire history of you" did a much better job with it and went more in depth. I get what they were going for with this episode but it just did not hit the right notes for me.
I'd go as far as to call it a waste of time, definitely one of the lousier BM episodes.
