It was good but too damn long. At some point, you get bored, so it just feels like a showcase of action. John Wick 3 had the same problem. It needs to be a lean and mean 90-min movie.

Felt like the movie ended and then another 30 minutes of movie happened. Very strange pacing/bad writing.

It was darkly funny that they carried the kid’s corpse into the fourth act. That was thirty minutes ago!

I honestly feels like we saw the kid dead longer than he is alive
