    Sometimes I honestly wish heaven and hell actually existed and that I could see the look on the faces of people like this when they find out they aren’t in the one that they expected.

        Is the first one any good? I don’t like to jump straight into sequels without the obligatory background from the first ones.

          Yup, really good. Like if John wick is a scalpel, this guy is a rusty machete. And John wick started over a puppy and a classic car, well, this guy starts his rampage over a “kitty cat bracelet” it’s on Amazon prime.

            I have to say that is the most interesting critique of a movie I’ve seen in quite some time. You’ve piqued my interest.

      It’s mildly amusing. Neeson is fantastic. There are really only two LOL jokes and they give one away in the trailer.

      The other one is even more subversive than that one…

        I would say that’s sort of the style of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker films. Airplane! was the same way, with a whole bunch of chuckle jokes throughout and then a few moments of genuinely laughing (at least in my experience)
