Revenge never gets old.
'80s throwback actioner with Sylvester Stallone as a New Orleans hitman who teams with a Washington D.C. cop (Sung Kang, Fast Five) to deliver vengeance against a mutual target - the man who killed their respective partners. Based on Alexis Nolent's graphic novel, directed by Hollywood veteran Walter Hill (The Warriors).
Hill works his usual magic on the big confrontations - the punches hit so hard that the sound of ax handles clacking isn't much blunter. Full review.
Fun in parts, and Stallone’s always watchable, but it’s an ’80s tribute movie that coasts along on rapidly diminishing goodwill. Beige Heat, if you will. Full review.
A wilfully old-fashioned, oddly soothing sprawl of cool cars, heavy weaponry, chain-link fences and cackling crooks. Full review.
Hard-hitting exercise in beefy, brainless fun. Full review.
An adrenaline shot to your movie memory if the blunt, gleefully dumb, no-nonsense ways of '80s-style action flicks are your nostalgia drug of choice. Full review.
No one here seems to notice that there's not much going on, including Mr. Stallone, which somehow makes it easier to watch. Full review.
The pic's chief pleasure lies in its store of funny lines, which Stallone tosses off with genuine brio. Full review.
love Stallone, always have.
oh my... He is 60plus... what on earth he is still filming for action movie....stop man....
hahahahahahahaha
YEAH I LOVE crap like this!! DVD on a Saturday night FUN!!

There's a strong SIN CITY Vibe on this, for better or worse; Worth a glance
Stallione i thought no way but tralier looks ok
FYI- the graphic novel is by Alexis Nolent (aka Matz) and illustrated by NZ cartoonist Colin Wilson (worth a mention?)
