Looking forward to that - the sort of brain out madness to wipe away a week of being at work!

If this isn't about the collective of highly skilled Los Angeles studio musicians who played on hundreds of hit recordings from the 1960s and 1970s, often without receiving public credit called the Wrecking Crew, then I'm out! redcard

Absolute brain out nonsense. Brilliant. These guys are fantastic together. Laugh out loud funny, great if completely unbelievable fight scenes. Hope they make more.

Amazon seems to be full of new films with Dave Bautista in them at the moment.

I thought some of the camera work was really impressive, one scene went from a drone following a van, to street level following a person, swinging around to look at people as you followed them all in one apparent take.

The fights also had a nice flow to them, almost like you were in the room turning and moving, rather than cutting to lots of different positions.

It was really good, wasn't it. Old school buddy action movie, if it ain't broke don't fix it...

by and large very enjoyable and way better than it had any right to be. The only thing I didn't like was the 'freeway' chase scene - IMO looked bobbins with FX that would've looked poor about 20 years ago frown

Just the brain out fun we were looking for on a dreary Saturday night - loved it! Quite graphic violence in places!

It is pretty decent, much better than expected. One scene/sequence is pretty janky but mostly it's good, if tissue thin on developing any characters or backstory.

Just don't do what I did and then watch Dave Bautista's other 2025 films thinking they might be good too.

A very enjoyable 'zero concentration' movie, with some reasonably funny dialogue. Thought that Momoa and Batista were pretty good together.

Hope there is a follow up.
