Why?? This could have been a true classic, but they blew it....still, it was entertaining..(slight spoilers)..


I'm one of those viewers who when it comes to the obvious need to suspend all belief, there has to be something that allows that suspension to exist and that certainly wasn't present in this movie and it is disappointing when slight changes could have been made to allow it.

This movie just demanded too much belief suspension to truly make it exceptional.

For example, him running away and being shielded by a Nazi corpse while being shot with most likely some sort of armor-piercing round from a machine gun. That was no AK or mere rifle he was being shot at with. Those rounds would have easily traveled through both bodies.

Then, of course, the plane crash scene. Or, when the Nazi with the scoped rifle missed very easy shots but then easily made a much more difficult headshot of a moving subject.

Still, it was quite entertaining, filmed wonderfully, and obviously with Tarantino inspiration and quite impressive if this was the director's and writer's first film.

So, if one loves movies like John Wick, then this thing is right up their alley.

Reminded me of Tarantino and Eli Roth. I don't know too much about horror or "splatter films" but that seems like the genre this would be in. Yes some of the stuff is ridiculous but it's a movie, not a documentary.

Fyi, bullets from any military level gun will go through a human, a car and possibly a wall. It's only in shitty movies that a corpse can be used as a shield from bullets.

Let alone a tank mounted machine gun....

Personally it didn't bother me, it was obvious from the start that it was a OTT homage to exploitation films, you can't expect it to be realistic, it's more like a comic book. I thought it was hilarious and hugely enjoyable.

I enjoyed the movie but guy had one of the thickest plot armors I've ever seen. Batman would be proud.
