Revenge, killings, karate-Kungfu, minimal plot, minimal plot twists, and Dave Bautista-they are all here, plus Sylvester Stallone, in an action movie of sorts. If you were expecting Goodfellows then you don't know a lot about film.
Easy to see this was shot on a budget as minimal things get blown up. High tech consists of pretty much things a kid could have: laptop, cell phone, night vision binoculars. The armaments, guns, featured are standard with no super-secret government weapons used.
This is one of those movies Stallone churned out while trying to figure out what roles an aging action hero can still fill. Dying his hair black and shouting Abby instead of Adrian did not turn back time; but there is a brief Ramboesque moment as Stallone slides a sharpened stick through a guy's neck killing him instantly. However, I believe Stallone did find a solid niche series In Tulsa King to carry him for at least a second season.
No matter what the ratings, this film did well enough for a sequel, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that enough film was shot for the sequel to be extracted without needing to get the cast back together.
