In terms of action, it's just wow. The choreography, the camera movements, the uncompromising physicality—there's real power in it. You can tell how much the film relies on staging, and it often works brutally well.
But the story struggles hard. For a revenge story, it's almost absurd because it really just needs to be relatable, John Wick-simple. Instead, it feels like a wild mix of John Wick, Ballerina, and a slightly exaggerated caricature of itself. Too much at once, without a clear emotional arc.
The characters are okay, but their relationships have strange friction points. They clash without really creating any tension. Much of it feels asserted rather than built up.
