NOTE---- Major spoilers abound. You've been warned.
Three words: Over the top.
Over the 39 years of my life, I’ve watched thousands of movies, read thousands of books, watched more TV than I care to state, and I can safely say that this movie had scenes that I’ve never seen in any media form before.
Ever.
Did I enjoy it?
Immensely! Never doubt that for a second.
Note that my review contains spoilers, so don’t read further if you want to see the movie, or don’t care about spoilers.
Have you ever seen a couple in the middle of hot monkey love get into a gunfight and CONTINUE to engage in carnal relations? I haven’t.
Have you ever seen a gunfight take place during skydiving? I sure haven’t. If I have, I don’t remember it.
Have you ever wanted to teach some jack-off on the streets a lesson about signalling, or speeding? This movie is for you.
Ever wanted to deal with someone dealing out corporal punishment in public? This movie will give you satisfaction.
Plot wise, it was pretty complex. What appears to be a homeless man gets involved in trying to rescue a pregnant woman from someone who is clearly out to kill her. It just gets weirder from there.
He kills men by the dozens, all the while helping her deliver. Make that yet another scene I’ve never had the privilege in witnessing.
Sadly, the woman doesn’t survive the ordeal, but the infant does, and more and more people continue to come after the baby in order to kill it.
Later in the movie, it’s revealed why the baby has to die, and despite this, Mr. Smith does everything in his power to prevent the death. All the while the body count continues to grow, and the stunts, not to mention the gunfights, get more and more outrageous.
If only the Li, Statham movie War had been this enjoyable.
Many years ago, I read tons of adventure novels while going to school and for years afterwards. Mack Bolan, Able Team, Stony Man, Deathlands, Survivalist, just to name a few.
The action in this movie was like taking scenes from these over-the-top adrenaline filled, lactose laced pieces of pulp fiction and putting them on the silver screen.
Don’t take this movie seriously, and you will enjoy yourself.

I couldn;t agree more
Saw this a week or so ago (ah the pleasures of working in the film business) and find it to be an entertaining excerise in absurdity
It is nice to attend a film that says exactly what it is.....................
