The movie really plays out like a 15 year old being asked to retell the first John Wick movie (same writers), and using the synopsis as the script. And that's not a bad thing. Yeah it's dumb fun. You are in for an hour and a half of Bob Odenkirk waving his hands around and a gratuitous amount of bad guys dying. It has the same feel as a call of duty shooting gallery-style campaign. And you can tell that everyone had fun making this. It's crazy to see Saul Goodman pulling off a badass tough guy role but it just works. The action is serviceable. The car shootout scene was a lot of fun. The setup to the bus scene was ridiculous but it payed off. So yeah. The characters are hilarious and ridiculous, the plot is paint-by-the-numbers John Wick, but the movie is so much fun. I have never seen a movie this fast paced. The move felt like it was only 35 minutes because it never takes time to relax. And that's my takeaway. I haven't seen a movie that I can both roll my eyes at and laugh at while also having such a good time and a big grin on my face. It knows what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else. And it will find it's way onto my favorite guilty pleasures.
