Two things really bothered me


1. The movie seemed to be suggesting that autistic children just need to man up and get beaten up by a shoalin monk.

2. Great, Ben Affleck has a heartfelt reunion with his brother. But his brother is still a stone-cold professional killer. A complete scumbag.



Never trust a black man named "Chip."

1. No, the alternative treatment facility is better. He's funding it, in case you didn't watch the end.

2. He's a stone cold professional killer too.

The movie is kind of suggesting "See, Ben Affleck just had the sh!t beaten out of him by a martial arts master as a young child and encouraged to fight other children by his father and he turned out fine, he didn't need that sissy facility that actually understands his condition!"

Not really. Ben Affleck killed the mafia people and people bullying the old couple and people trying to kill him all on his own, nobody paid him, and they deserved it. Brax killed innocent people for money.

I disagree.

Yeah, OK, but Chris didn't seem to have a conscience about killing (same as his brother). Of course, who knows what he's thinking?

Among the not-credible and bothersome items, it's just over the top that Brad is his brother.

Also now that someone knows the connection to the Neuroscience school/institute, he will be easy to track down...

Who knows that he's connected to it?

I know, and I'm really bad at keeping secrets. I've told six or seven people already.
