The main character found motivation to get back to his mafia hitman life after a group of punks decided to steal his car and kill his dog. What ensued was a brutal war with incredible fighting scenes but little plot substance.

The plot was so lazy, the bad guys wanted to kill JW so bad but backed off at the right time, every time, so the fighting can continue. I just don't get it. You are trying to kill the guy so badly then when you finally get him on the ground passed out, you decide to sit him down and give him a chance to recover so he can continue kicking your ass. Incredibly lazy writing.

Of course then there's all the misses from point blank range so our hero can live...and the politically correct fighting scene with a woman who kicks his ass right after he got done kicking the ass of body builders but a female is tougher apparently.
