A solid action flick that succeeds at being just that, an action flick, however sprinkled with some heart. I was very bias for what seemed to be another modern day action feature; however director Sam Hargrave provided an Australian John Wick instead! The action was incredible, choreography was jaw droppingly flawless. The connections after being shot, punched and thrown against a hard object felt authentic and added to the somewhat realistic fighting style; camera movements were gorgeous, not too shaky to bring disorientation yet not too smooth to take you out of the extremity. The cinematography was adequate, and at times would tell a story in itself which was surprising. The one shot takes were perfect for the moments presented and although cuts weren't well hidden to an experienced viewer, could easily fool a naked eye. Hemsworth's character, although a stereotypical Australian cliche, was enjoyable to watch. In all, the Australian stereotype was smart as it contributed a mateship sentiment to the story. Hemsworth brought an absorbing performance, being unpretentious yet grandiose in action sequences yet considerate and gentle in tender moments. And I appreciated the inner turmoil his character carried, making this more than a shoot, kill, shoot movie. The dialogue was stale but got it's point across. However, the sporadicity in language variations was questionable as to why characters would switch between two languages. The story was as long as it needed to be, little to nothing felt overstayed or unwelcomed other than the subplot of the Bangladesh boy. The ending is touching yet extremely lazy in terms of tying loose ends. And the 'resurrection' of Hemsworth's character was not needed as it destroyed the meaning of his sacrifice. Overall, an exceptional action picture that I'd suggest watching if you're in need of one.
