I was gonna go see today. Is it at least as entertaining as A Low Down Dirty Shame or Action Jackson? I know it can't be Black Dynamite good

Nope. Those movies don’t take themselves seriously. This one does. Black dynamite is a satire and parody, which this also isn’t.

So disappointed in this. Ya know how it was sold as this pulpy action movie with bullets and stunts and a cool retro vibe? Yeah none of that was here. It took something that should've been fun and pulp and turned it into soap opera and way too melodramatic for its own good. Characters switched emotions like switchblades being pulled out. This should've been the female John Wick but its not even close. In fact, the last action scene of the movie is what the movie should've been. Instead they thought they were making Shakespeare. Taraji deserved better. A lot better. Danny Glover seems like he was just collecting a check and no one else knew what movie they were in, including the director.

The idea of Taraji choosing being a mom over the life she was leading is a great one...but its barely touched on. The fun of the last scene? Nowhere else in the movie. The writing was so all over the damn place and the movie never knew what it was and couldn't exist in its own universe or even obey its own laws. :francis: Proud Mary my ass
Guess I'll be catching this when the bluray drops on the internet :mjcry:

Dizzamn. So like you said, it really doesn't know what type of movie it wants to be

It wants to be this very serious thing but the writing doesn’t back that up at all. And it’s some of the worst editing I’ve ever seen on a movie. But it’s the same guy who directed London has fallen so yeah. That movie is awful too

Like I said it it really was a John wick type of thing it would’ve been much better.
