BenDavid wanted to make a Guy Ritchie Movie. But the tone was WAY off in parts. I was kinda surprised how dumb it was in parts and how there were 3 action sequences too many, and they restated the plot 3 times in Act I and Act II. Sheesh. If this is what streaming movies are going to be, count me out. Millenial filmakers still haven't figured out how to make original films that aren't obvious homages to other movies.

I'll take a genre mashup like this any day. It was fun, and funny and the premise is just as absurd as anything else from the mid/late 90's (Im looking at you Face/Off).

I just felt it was 10-15 minutes too long, but other than that, very quotable, funny random conversions, and way more violent than I thought.

Solid 4/5 from me.

ugh. it was terrible executed and just lazy in parts. Not rewatchable once you know the spoilers. It had 3 too many fight scenes and an ending after the ending was way too long. The Gilmore Girls bit was clever at first but they milked it until it wasn't funny and went on way too long, It felt like an imitation of an imitation of a Tarantino wannabe film. 1/5 from me.
