It is a fine entertaining movie. Nice to see old guns Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton and Robert Patrick.

Better than expected and certainly packs a punch. No nonsense revenge violence with some clever directing. Hats off to Maggie Q for faultless acting but Michael Keaton steals the show... I honestly did not expect that from him! Cracking stuff 7.5/10

Some good action scenes which had a little more to them than just the action itself. Great central female character let down by some very unthreatening baddies and under written make parts. Enjoyable and keen to see her character again… forgettable but worth a watch.

Run of the mill victim turned into an assassin who only kills bad guys. The 90's were full of movies like this, except now the lead character is played by the lovely Maggie Q and the show is stolen by a somewhat atypical villain's henchmen Rembrandt played by Michael Keaton.

That's the only saving grace of the movie, Michael Keaton. He works for the bad guy Anna is trying to kill, essentially playing the opposite to Anna. Equally smart, lethal but far more charming and realized a character who doesn't handle things in the usual villain's henchman kind of way. He's the finesse, or as the character puts it, after the facts kind of guy who cleans up the mess left by the blunt instruments that come before him. Repartee between Anna and Rembrandt is the only thing that's "interesting", that is if you remove the poorly stolen Mr and Mrs Smith fight then fuck scene, the rest you've seen before.

Maggie Q holds her own against Keaton, despite not being given a lot to work with. It has plot holes, it has perplexing character decisions, but it entertains well enough for what it is.

Movie is entertaining and definitely worth the watch.

The [spoiler] fight/sex scene between Michael Keaton and Maggie Q was awkward and cringy AF. It felt like walking in on your parents mid coitus. [/spoiler]

For me, the main attraction was seeing Keaton in an action role again.

This is basically just another "hitman" movie as there have been a couple of handfulls released in the past few years. It follows the same formula. In other words, nothing new or exciting here. But it certainly is watchable and entertaining.

If you're looking for a decent action movie then this will certainly do. If you're looking for something new, different and exciting, you will most likely be disappointed.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

The movie is ok, a guess. A lot of good action scenes, capitalizing the fact tha Maggie Q use to be Nikita in another life.
I get that Michael Keaton is a household name and all of that... but that was a little bit cringy for me. I'm all about diferent type of couples, and i don't wanna sound prudish or anything but he's too old for Maggie Q to make any sense. I din't like that paring at all, and it took me away from the movie big time. Maybe with an actor not 28 years older than the female lead it would have made more sense to me. Or maybe I don't find Michael Keaton with that kind of appeal ...

@marguis Although I like Keaton, I have to agree on the age gap being a slight problem here.

@marguis My thoughts exactly. He wasn't believable as a seducer and doesn't look like someone she'd go for. I'm guessing they'd rather have cast the likes of Hugh Jackman or Henry Cavill but didn't have the budget.

Some good action scenes aside, this is a surprisingly mundane thriller from a usually reliable director.

Regular action movie. Worth to see MaggieQ back in fighting mode and with great chemistry with Michael Keaton. The rest is very standard.

Yet another hit man movie and guess what... It's the same as all the others! Do these writers and directors have to go to an exclusive Hit Man school where they all must follow the same formula in movie making?

Here's how it works...
1) Tragic circumstances bring two people together
2) Fast forward to when the older one is getting old and sick
3) One last score
4) Younger one comes out on their own with phenomenal skills of beating people up and killing them in "unique" ways
5) Oh oh, one baddie too many and they get caught
6) Phhh.. they escape easily
7) Big explosion
8) Finale with happy and also a bittersweet ending

Hang on, I should open my own school and teach this stuff... not give it away for free!!!!

Why was this movie made? What was the point? Actually how did the creators scam producers to invest money into this movie project?

So Maggie Q dreamt of fucking Michael Keaton when she was a teenager & now she gets to as an adult? That’s the only reason for the sex scene.

Recently watched this. Just a helpful hint for anyone hoping to get a lot of Samuel Jackson screentime: this probably isn't the movie for you. He's definitely an integral part of the movie, but the main character is Maggie Q. She does a good job portraying a killer with a daunting past. Add in some Keaton, good suits, random love scene a la Mr. & Mrs. Smith and you have yourself a decent movie to stream with a friend.

The movie is good but not great. It‘s definitely awesome to see Maggie Q in this kind of role again. She delivers a captivating performances and also the locations of the film were awesome. But the ending felt a bit rushed imo.

Good enough for an entertaining action movie if that's what you're in the mood for. Nothing spectacular. Very little S. L. Jackson screen time, so manage your expectations.
