For this specific type of movie? It would’ve been a remarkable improvement to the quality of the film

Different strokes, I suppose. I personally didn’t mind the setup

I think you could’ve gotten away with 20 minutes of montages to build your story, or 20 minutes of exposition scenes to build your story. They wanted both and it just felt so unnecessary and boring

That’s fair. Like I said I wasn’t bored but for this type of movie I get that a lot of the viewers definitely just want to get to the action.


I do think the whole thing would have felt different if everything stayed the same but the daughter didn’t exist.

Cut that shite out and all the other exposition feels a lot more fun I’d think. She was just a drag.

I’m glad you enjoyed the movie, not trying to shite on that. I enjoyed it in parts as well. I just think if it had a better idea of what it was or what it wanted to be, the movie would be infinitely better. And that’s a problem a lot of action movies have these days

Nah all good man I get it.


I might have felt differently if we weren’t still in Covid movie purgatory. With so little content coming out for so long I’m happy to digest all the content and story I can for as long as I can

With a high production quality like this I guess I’ll deal with some excess from the director because WTF is the hurry when there’s nothing else coming down the pipe anytime soon


I enjoyed the ride and thought the characters were all pretty cool. Didn’t mind getting to know them a bit
