Hilarious and action-filled!

Finally managed to watch this movie, and the wait was worth it!

The music is impeccable (as usual), and the comedy is on point. The action is great as well, with tons of thrilling sequences with interesting character designs and well choreographed fights. The environments were also fantastic, with disgusting, slimy scenes everywhere, which really drove home the whole idea of “perfecting” the world being a complete sham.

The plot doesn’t leave anything to be desired either. It’s interesting and thrilling. The main villain does a fantastic job of being hateable! I thought it was great acting by Chukwudi Iwuji, really outstanding job.

The only thing I didn’t like too much was the very notable lack of stakes. Well, obviously there were stakes, but I never got the feeling they could actually fail to get the job done. I never thought that they might actually lose, for once. On one hand, that kinda sucks, on the other hand, it’s a comedy-action movie that has great comedy and action. I don’t think the lack of tension is a big deal.

What do you think?


Rating: 4/5

      I don’t mind stuff like that when it doesn’t break me out of the story. I’m this case, it was so bad I found it jarring. Still enjoyed the movie, but that was egregious.
