You have to love any film that reiffs on the hall way fight from the original OLD BOY, not just once but several times...and manages to make it work every time.
Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa play brothers reunited after their father is killed. His death is made to look like an accident- but it isn't. Its tied to a plan to build a casino on protected lands.
The pairing of Bautista and Momoa is the no duh reason to see the film. You know with these guys you are going to get great action. What was unexpected and wonderfully welcome was the depth of character we get from their performances. They don't walk through the film but give us full bodied performances. Yea they are macho killing machines but there is a genuiine human side to them that makes the film have a deeper connection. I know some people don't want the family issue nonsense but the truth is it gives the film weight and allows the positive moments to be more satisfying. I honestly did not expect that in this film.
This film is a delight.
I just wish this wasn't locked to Amazon so more people could see it.
