    I hadn't even heard of this until I looked up showtimes for my local theater and saw the title. Turns out it's 80+ on Rotten Tomatoes and widely hyped as an incredible action movie. So I saw it!

    FUCK. The plot drags a little bit sometimes, but the fight and action scenes are incredible. Lots of comparisons to Hard Boiled and Die Hard, although don't let that hype you TOO much into thinking this is an all-time great or anything. Still, I HIGHLY recommend this. People in my area don't often like subtitled movies so the theater was pretty empty, but the 10 or so of us that were there were reacting out loud to some of the amazing things happening on screen.

    SEE IT
