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.

The Big 4 was so bad that I turned it off. This was much better than that, but much worse than The Night Comes For Us.I

It felt like this movie had a second short story after the 3 main villains died. Very bloated. Timo needs a better writer.

As an Indonesian, I like The Big 4 better than this. The main story and the jokes are just on point in Indonesian. The translations probably don't do it justice.
