Original score by Aoife O'Leary. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.

DIRECTOR

Did you know

Editor Todd E. Miller shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

★ 5/10
This movie is 90 minutes. In that sense it gets a 10 but in those 90 minutes there's not really all that much cool shit. Ricci does some cool shit. Dude does some cool shit. But there's not that much cool shit. The plot is dumb. So much dumb shit in the plot takes away from any potential cool shit. There is action but no comedy from what I can extract unless it's hilarious that Ricci is a badass. In that case it's not that funny. Whatever. Watch it. The images will take you brain away for a while.

Elmer Fudd as an action hero isn't going to work ever. Hollywood must have money to blow. Kevin James as an extra killed off immediately while eating a huge meal in a restaurant works well.
