99% of all action movies (post Die Hard) would be over a minute into the first fight if Hollywood had even a rudimentary understanding of physics and the human body’s response to physical trauma. My favorite is Tony Stark, who would have gotten jellied when the Iron Man Mark Cave suit crashed in the desert. But it’s literally every action movie.
Inertia? What’s that? Oh, but he used inertial dampeners. Right. He just happened to upend the fundamental laws of physics, the not-well-understood properties that hold our very existence together … in a cave.
I do give points to John Wick, who at least grunts and bleeds and limps and looks exhausted after every battle. But action movies have been annoying me with this nonsense since John McClane quit being seriously hurt around the Die Hard Takes Manhattan entry in the series.
Drat. I had hopes this film would be at least entertaining, and I'm pretty fond of Bryan Tyree Henry; but this doesn't sound promising. On the other hand, I never notice anything in a storyline that isn't handed to me on a serving dish with a bow, so it might all be fine. Thanks for the review.
"The stink of sour adrenaline" might have been my high school prom theme.
I'm going to start using Henchpeople as the file name for all clients.

Wait a minute...how many memoirs have you proposed to write and what are the names of these hundred or so novels? Inquiring minds want to know.
