It’s a mixed bag tbh. I think the first one is overlong and less clever than it thinks it is. The action is competent, but not substantively better than a good direct to video shoot em up, and there’s just so much dead space between these sequences it’s almost not worth it.
That being said, i’d rank it above Jason Statham’s A Working Man, but below Jason Statham’s The Beekeeper. Idk if that helps you at all, but I think it’s indicative of the mode this movie is trying to operate in.

The movies? The first was surprisingly good, though I walked in with zero expectations.
Not a first John Wick, but a decent action flick.

Thanks! I’ll check it out. Tangent on that comment, gosh John wick 1 was awesome but boy was it so bland by 4. I really really liked the John Wick inspired Nobody.
