The poster and description do nothing to inspire watching it, but I finally gave it a go and wow it surprised me. It's an awesome revenge flick.

The main character basically Rocky Balboas his way into becoming John Wick and it's a fun ride. They even call him John Wick at one point, which usually would be eye rolling but it's funny. There's some fun religious stuff thrown in, and really good fight choreography.

At one point I had to pause for the bathroom and was really happy I was only half way through it.

I highly recommend it.

Apparently the production went throughout a lot. They even used their phone for filming some of the stuff when the camera broke. It's also Dev Patel's first venture into directing so his work would only get better.
