I kinda do understand the low ratings on IMDB
A Christmas action movie directed by John Woo and staring Kid Cudi? I just had to see that! I understand what he was trying to do; a dramatic, stylish, nifty, action packed, dialogueless and refreshing take on the revenge genre. The result? A run-of-the mill, violent but not very eventful and slightly awkward film with bad guys than can’t aim when they shoot and a vengeful father that goes through the whole self training process to become a legit killer. Overall it was ok, conventional and could’ve been worse. I can simply ask you one question that will prove that this movie is a bit too dumb: if you are in front of your house with your wife and kid and your kid get shot by a gang driving by, what would you do: stay with your wife and injured child and call the ambulance? Or leave him there on the ground and start running after the bad guys car in order to smash their windshield with a lead pipe? That’s what I thought… Lots of nonsense on display here. Even Kid Cudi had 0 credibility as the cop. The ending was weak too. My rating: 5.5/10
