Rating: 7 out of 10, This was okay with some John Wickian
type action and some funny moments as well. Strange to see Drax the Destroyer
facing off against Mantis. Bautista plays a word class assassin (who, of
course, only kills bad guys) who receives a mis-diagnosis that gives him only a
few months to live. He takes out a contract to have himself killed. As luck
would have it, he’s just fallen in love with a diminutive French dancer, played
by the always watchable Sofia Boutella. After he learns he isn’t going to die,
he now has to take on a bevy of fellow assassins while trying to protect his
girlfriend. That very interesting concept is fully explored and this could have
been a lot of fun if Bautista had taken it more seriously. He seems almost
detached and just taking a payday while the rest of the cast is awesome. This
surprised me as I’m a big fan of Bautista. Still, a nice, if very bloody,
watch.
MVP:
Boutella as the love interest Maize
