ex-special forces on a personal mission for revenge is basically my second or third favorite movie genre so lets do this

[Gryffes]

This is going to do great in the UK.

Pierce Brosnan as Gerry Adams is amazinggggggg.

Have we ever seen evil Jackie before? It's always lovable, nicest guy ever who fucks up baddies Jackie. Much excite.

Don't think he is here either. From what I've seen he has very similar character type only now he is fucking bad guys up out of revenge so is a bit more aggressive with it. Plot kind of reminds me of Collateral Damage but with less cheesy 90s 1 liners

I dont remember Collateral Damage much but it really reminds me of this

Came in to say this exact thing, and I'm ok with it.

Let's hope we don't go the same route and actually give us the ending we fucking want.

Day one. Jackie Chan unhinged and not comical? Sign me the fuck up.

[dasva]

So seems like critics aren't liking this but damn was a good movie. Chan as a brutally efficient no fucks given ex-special forces was amazing. Also Bronsan did a great job though sadly no action from him.

[Gredival]

I thought this was pretty good; the political subplot was better than I expected.

I looked into the reviews and mostly it seems

Spoiler: show

people were disappointed with how the movie only uses Jackie as a tool of destruction whereas the plot is moved entirely by Brosnan and the IRA

which is true but I never felt like the movie was lacking as a result. I mean the plot isn't that deep, I think everyone knows what they are here to see.
