The Killer's Game

I was not expecting much from this movie. But I was pleased with it. Fun to watch and it had good quality action scenes. You just need to get pass the dodgy botox and it's a fun film.

Just an entertaining movie.

While TKG isn't exactly original, (see John Wick, Smokin' Aces), it's a fun flick. Production and acting are on par for movies like this, writing was adequate. This isn't the type of movie you critique for "quality", it's a flick you watch for mindless entertainment, action, and humor, all of which it has plenty of. You won't likely watch it twice, but we both found it enjoyable start to finish.

So the plot is just about as thick as it needs to be to make the film a coherent whole and not an inch deeper. The script won't be winning any awards either but its passable without any super cringe. The movie is well casted though and the performers do what is needed even if the antagonists are little more then archtypes over real characters with a couple of exceptions. Apparently, the book this is based on dates back to the 90s but the movie is inspired by more recent action fare and almost wares it on the sleeve taking inspiration from the likes of John Wick, Nobody, Bullet Train, layer cake, Anything by Guy Richie and luckly number sle7ven speaking of which Ben Kingsley comes pretty close to resurrecting the Rabbi. If you like that sort of movie then you should find this fun. The set pieces aren't over imaginative but the cast is stacked with stunt and action performers so the action is well delivered. As clichéd as this next line is going to sound I can't help feeling that the utter absence of The Message accounts for a lot of the bad critic scores as the low critical score to me feels unjustified.

It was par for the course for Dave Bautista, which is not a compliment.

It served its purpose its fun, bloody, fast and has very good humor. I don´t really like Dave Bautista but here he was even charming in his brutish way. Love the way he dispatched the Korean gang. Not a masterpiece but was good

would'v liked more comedy in it. but decent action scenes

I really enjoyed this. The way it was filmed was refreshing, fun and captivating. Humour and action, a great night's entertainment!

In my opinion, I thought it was a amazing movie and the reviews doesn't do it justice. It was one of the movie that made laugh a lot and i really enjoyed it watching it. Definitely something to put on the watch list.

Bautista isn't as good of an actor as he thinks he is, but side characters and action got me through this enjoyably.
