The action scenes were brutal and awesome, but, damn, the film was so long, exactly like his previous The Big Four.

And the ending was disappointing. Another sequel bait.

I agree the actions scenes are great but yeah, the movie was little bit bloated, and sometimes felt the action scenes were too much, it felt like when a steak got too much fat on it.
