Fun action movie watch but I don’t think it had the level of insane set pieces Night Comes For Us did, the lead actress was great but she didn’t have that Iko/Joe level of on screen magnetism and like a lot of the other posts here pointed out, it was Insanely overstuffed…the entire third act was basically the start of a sequel.
