I watched this expecting a decent action film and came out wondering why more people aren't talking about it.
Bob Odenkirk is fantastic as Hutch Mansell, an ordinary man with a very extraordinary set of skills. Watching him switch from overlooked family man to absolute force of nature is incredibly satisfying. Every punch feels earned, every action scene lands, and the film never takes itself too seriously.
Then there's Christopher Lloyd.
At an age when most people are deciding what biscuits to have with their tea, Christopher Lloyd turns up and reminds everyone why he's a legend. Every scene he's in is a gift, and he manages to steal attention from a film that's already packed with memorable moments.
The action is brutal, creative and entertaining. It feels messy in the best possible way. People get hurt, and buildings get destroyed.
The biggest question the film leaves unanswered is this: who's cooler, Bob Odenkirk or Christopher Lloyd?
5/5
