...good review, but I didn't like it quite as much as you did even though it is pretty entertaining.

Too much Chris Pratt and not enough Ethan Hawk and a larger Vincent D'Onofrio. Could have used a little more humor.

With a pretty, feisty young widow.

Peter Skarsgard is excellent as the villain.

A big gun battle where the good guys never miss and the bad guys seldom hit anyone - all with unlimited bullets - but it's beautifully choreographed.

Let's say it's an update of the superior Yul Brenner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn film that the younger generation will appreciate.

I'm guessing the Korean dude reprises Coburn's role using throwing stars. Nt - geoffkait 09:41:37 09/25/16 (2)

I think their agents push them to stay in the public eye (and the money) - PhilJ 16:56:32 09/24/16 (1)

I will have to revisit the original. Although I'm a modern film guy. * - Billy Wonka 09:22:24 09/25/16 (0)
