I was pleasantly surprised by it too, glad I ended up giving it a shot. Turned out to be a deeper movie than I was giving it credit for even if a lot of tropes still showed up throughout
I liked it, it was good, but I wasn’t a fan of it devolving into a john wick action flick in the climax. The rest of the film before that was great.
I didn't like the training montage where he levels up his fighting skills, I wished it had been magic or divine intervention that made him a better fighter, or maybe if he just gradually progressed throughout the movie.
I was surprised it took him forever to be a better fighter. During those scenes right before hes taken in by the religious people I kept saying "you fight every night, what are you doing!?"
Yep, absolutely loved it. Decent story, excellent action, well acted…. If you like action movies, you’ll love this one. Saw it the day it came out because of how much I liked the trailer.
There was a lot about it to like but I felt the fight direction spoiled it - far too much Jason Bourne-style lobbing the camera around.
Haven't seen it but only heard good things from anyone who has.
It was described to me as "Dev Patel and his army of transgender women fight fascists" and that's exactly what I got. 10/10
