Tom Hardy is let loose in relentless slaughter saga from The Raid director.

...is primarily a canvas for Evans to paint in bullet holes and viscera, delivering wave after wave of hilariously over-the-top, comic overkill.

Evans takes a blowtorch to the rulebook, with frenzied, inventive, thrilling choreography that makes it seem as if his cameras are bouncing off walls and bodies.

With a video-game aesthetic, the movie pulls you in with its striking cinematography and then repeatedly punches you in the face with its adrenaline-fueled action.

...brimming with both complex, ultra-violent action sequences and an impressively grimy aesthetic – giving the film a weight and texture that instantly sets it apart from the bulk of made-for-streaming action fare.

It’s a thoroughly mediocre experience overall that occasionally morphs without warning into the most exciting and creatively staged movie of the year.
