Genuinely such a lifeless and unexciting film.
The protagonist looks like he’s being forced to care that he’s life is in danger. The actors look like they don’t want to be here. The kills aren’t good. No scary set pieces. No stylistic flair. Incoherent plot. I was just annoyed throughout. I’m not gonna waste my energy writing a lengthy review on this. I’m so confused in regards to the high ratings that this has.

L'intro du film est spectaculaire, une des meilleures que j'ai pu voir avec ennio morricone à la BO c'est grandiose.
