The plot: Diagnosed with a terminal illness, top hit man Joe Flood decides to take matters into his own hands and take a hit out on himself. However, when the very men he hires also target his ex-girlfriend, he must fend off an army of assassins and win back the love of his life before it’s too late.
This Movie was So Good.
Pros: The film itself is proud showing off it’s bonkers over-the-top action and violences. I like the relationship between Dave Bautista’s Joe & Sofia Boutella’s Maize throughout the film. I was impressed how many high-profile actors they got for this movie & the storyline was easy to follow.
Cons: But also, can be competitive at times. Noticeable CGI Blood won’t that affected & I’m disappointed for not seeing Drew Galloway reach his 4 potential only lasting half a minute in a fight scene.
