Well, well, I got a review in before CF on our mutual vid binge. I tasked the CF's to go to a screener of this last year because I couldn't make it and there was some good buzz in the stunt community about who was behind this. I thought - well, if CF says it's a delightful rom com, what better pre-Valentine flick could there be? Well, I was very disappointed to discover there was no leaf blower.
There was some excellent gun fu. In fact, the morsel of a plot is just to set up a lot of gun fu. Absurd gun fu, but entertaining. I really liked the notion of an assassin hotel/club - it was very Dragon Inn. Keanu, who I do not like, delivers. I shouldn't say I don't like him. I liked him in Matrix. I liked him in Bill & Ted. I even liked him in Little Buddha. However I will never forgive him for Man of Tai Chi and 47 Ronin. That being said, this is his best film since A Scanner Darkly.
I might squeeze in another flick tonight. If only I had some syrup.... Greg?
