It's a new version of A History of Violence for no reason at all. There's hardly plot, character development, or reason for it to exist. Just nothing for nothing's sake. Stupid.

It posses scenes somewhat copied from The Mechanic, The Transportor, etc. And everything copied from John Wick, just the plot is different and very few scenes are left to be copied.
Everyone compares It with John Wick. But John Wick has a whole different Legendary taste. Nobody has a past mystery of his being feared by some of them who knows him. And another mystery is of that cards tattoo on his wrist, Nothing much, The Storyline is decent but the length of the movie concerns much just in one and half hour and less if we cut intro and outro of the movie. This movie is a one-time show you watch and let it go. There's no much to exaggerate about the details of the movie or to focus on character as movie doesn't offer much to the character other than like a John Wick past mystery. So it's not much amazing while watching the movie. One can while seeing the movie all time think that this was the scene in John Wick and that wasn't". Nothing much

This movie isn’t that good. It’s performances are stale and every character we are supposed to care about is invincible taking away any stakes it could potentially have.

It’s performances are stale and every character we are supposed to care about is invincible taking away any stakes it could potentially have. I know it is intentionally supposed to be bad, (at least I hope it is) but it’s not good at being funny while it’s intentionally bad. A lot of the lines are just dumb and not in a funny way. Expand

There's no overarching theme that ties it together, no value present in the film, and a complete lack of subtext. The movie hopes to overcome it, like a "Mr and Mrs Smith" or a Michael Bay movie, by "violent entertainment," which at best would get a 1/10. That doesn't come close to justifying all the other film's shortcomings. Gratuitous violence + cookie-cutter, arbitrary plot = bad movie. Expand

This movie sucks big time. But first, know that the movie is competently made. Lots of violence and crazy action.

But first, know that the movie is competently made. Lots of violence and crazy action. My problem with this movie is that it feels like one long buildup for a punchline that never comes. Basically, Bob Odenkirk feels emasculated, so he turns to senseless violence at an increasing rate of scale and absurdity. The action got so silly that I became disengaged and uninterested. The plot was so poorly constructed that it felt dreamlike, which destroyed the sense that anything was really at stake, which caused all the action to feel hollow and tedious. At one point the movie itself gets bored with the action and speeds things up with a quick montage of him storming some Russian mafia place and killing hordes of baddies. The story got so nutty that I expected them to reveal that Odenkirk was merely imagining himself as a badass ex-hitman as an escape from the feeling of emasculation. As much as I hate the "it was all a dream" trope, it was the only way I could see this movie making sense. But that doesn't happen. Things just get more and more and more stupid until the very end. Like, given the good reviews and the fact that Bob Odenkirk is in it, I thought this movie might actually be good. But I was wrong. This movie sucks big time. Expand

Джон Уик на минималках. Ничего оригинального.

On se réjouit de retrouver ce bon vieux Saul Goodman (le fameux Bob Odenkirk) dans un rôle inédit pour lui au cinéma, celui d’un John Wick impromptu, bon père de famille qui se métamorphose en machine à tuer implacable du jour au lendemain !On se réjouit de retrouver ce bon vieux Saul Goodman (le fameux Bob Odenkirk) dans un rôle inédit pour lui au cinéma, celui d’un John Wick impromptu, bon père de famille qui se métamorphose en machine à tuer implacable du jour au lendemain ! un rôle a priori taillé pour un Statham (ou un Reeves !) et que l’acteur au demeurant brillant a quelque difficulté à rendre crédible ici…

Mais à dire vrai, c’est le film en entier qui a bien du mal à tenir debout et si l’on pensait à un mélange de John Wick et d’un anti-héros à l’insu de son plein gré qu’Odenkirk aurait pu incarner à la manière d’un protagoniste de Breaking Bad (White, Pinkman ou Goodman), le genre de gars très malin qui résoud les problèmes surtout grâce à son intelligence, eh bien si l’on pensait à quelque chose dans ce goût-là, l’on tombera clairement de haut !

Car en effet, le film verse un peu trop vite dans la tarantinade éculée pour ne plus jamais en sortir, ni s’en dépêtrer : la violence et les fusillades ridiculisées régulièrement (c’est de l’humour tarantineux « décalé ») par de la sale musique de merde, en l’occurrence de vieilles chansonnettes parmi les plus ringardes que cette bande de cons ait pu trouver !

Ce n’est donc jamais aussi drolatique que les John Wick, loin de là, et les incohérences et aberrations sont décidément légion comme par exemple des hommes de couleur dans la mafia russe… ben voyons ! Néanmoins, on ne s’ennuie pas le moins du monde (en une heure et demi) et la réalisation reste toujours de bon aloi, heureusement. Mais quelle déception tout de même…

Terrible movie, I hope Odenkirk is not planning to play this completely ridiculous character in a sequel.

The plot suffers from the "and then" principle - weak and then full of action tropes (bad gun aiming/Russians as baddies) - the movie hits all the yawning plot points and ends at a desirable time.
