I didn’t have high expectations going in, and so I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a decent movie with some nice dialog that will make you laugh. Mostly delivered by Michael Keaton, of course.
The action was solid, but not spectacular. Maggie Q. was believable in her role as a badass assassin. As advertised, this movie is from the studio behind the John Wick movies, which really doesn’t mean crap. But Maggie Q. is very much a female John Wick. But don’t expect anything nearly as entertaining as the Wick movies.

If there’s a disappointment to the story, it’s the plot. I’m pretty sure there was a plot, but it was a little slippery, so it was hard to grasp exactly what they were going for. I pretty much gave up trying to piece it together and just enjoyed the action and dialog.
Lastly, I’d point out that there is some pretty good cinematography around some of the action scenes. Not spectacular, but better than most.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: The last one is the one we recommend. You won’t miss a beat if you use it. The first Peetime is good, but we meet a new character immediately after the Peetime ends, so don’t be late.

about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
