An odd mix of comedy, action, tragedy, darkness, drama and feelgood.
The beginning is a little rough, lacking that natural flow and fluidity when going from one scene to another. However, when the base of the story has been established, it does get going nicely indeed.
I expected a thriller, a revenge movie.. action mostly. That's how it was marketed in the trailer at least. I got that, but I also unexpectedly got a lot more and it was a pleasant surprise.
This movie features a little bit of everything. It will make you chuckle, it will make you laugh, it will make you wonder and perhaps shed a tear or two.
It will make you feel for the characters involved, each with their own personality, issues, history and how they deal with things in the present and the past.
If you can manage to suspend your disbelief just enough here and there, you may very well enjoy this a lot.
8,5/10, rounding up to a 9.
