silentbob Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 This looks like a fucked up movie, but in a cool fucked up way. Count me in for a viewing and stoned out of my mind for what’s to come 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 This is on VoD streaming now. Fantastic movie. It’s basically a new Shoot’Em Up (2007) but obviously more melee combat focused. So much fun. A bit weird that it’s 4k but no HDR available as far as I can tell. Visually it’s really stunning and HDR would’ve made a lot of scenes pop to Pacific Rim levels.

Oh, I also forgot to mention: I have never in my life winced or shuttered at the brutality of a fight scene in a movie, and this one made me do it twice. Legit some of the most brutal fight scenes I’ve ever seen put to screen in movie or TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have been the only one to see it in the theaters Deadpool & Wolverine will probably be the first movie I see in theaters since pre-COVID. I’d rather watch stuff at home, especially since it’s like 4-8 weeks out from streaming these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit some of the most brutal fight scenes I’ve ever seen put to screen in movie or TV. There was one that definitely made me wince a bit, which two were they for you? As for the movie itself, it was pretty good. I watch a lot of East Asian martial arts cinema so while the fighting was brutal it's got nothing on something like Project Wolf Hunting. However, it's done so over the top at times that the brutality is mitigated somewhat which makes sense given the tone of this film is a lot more (dark) comedy than I would have thought knowing nothing going in, which gave the film its own identity in this field of films like Nobody, The Raid films, the John Wick films, etc. This movie in a lot of ways reminded me of Shoot 'Em Up, Crank and Hardcore Henry where the film just goes for broke (like you mentioned). The final fight scene was pretty stellar. I wish the film had more substance to it (the story is pretty weak and there are some frustrating plot contrivances) but I enjoyed this one.

Spoiler Cheese grater, which was more of an “oof” type of wince, then the final fight when the shaman guy was dragging the knife along the arms and legs.
