Trailer was well done, but even despite that, it does not look very good. Incredibly tryhard-y.

So the movie's been out since a few days (weeks?), any impressions? RT score is kind of a mixed bag both with critics and audience.... (41% and 55% respectively).

very standard revenge film plot and a hard-to-buy relationship with the protag and the teenage supporting character.

the choreography was great for a lot of the action and i really liked how some scenes were shot. besides that you will be able to call everything that happens in the movie about halfway through.

Another middling jonhnwick-esque action movie, the Japanese setting makes it stand out from the pack a bit at least. MEW isn't too shabby as an action hero, certainly put in a big effort into her role.

This was a really fun action movie. It didn't need to be anything else. Also, MEW was fantastic.

I liked it aswell, sometimes its nice to have a movie that's just fun and doesn't take itself so seriously

Dragged a tad bit but still decent. Nice music and setting. MEW has a lot of charisma.

netflix has the worst batting average for having unlimited money and the supposed ability to algorithmically know what its viewers should like.

Finally a somewhat enjoyable Netflix action flick.

I am a sucker for neon lights though.

i finally watched maniac and it was okay, but you can almost see the algorithm make that show in front of your eyes, and its worse for it. idk maybe i should finally watch the irishman, i've been on a scorsese kick.
