Waited for a DVD release, pre-ordered and then, when it finally arrived, I can't believe how the good storyline was wasted. The people who didn't like this movie are likely the ones eagerly waiting on the next Ramboīelieve it or not but I really wanted to like this movie. If you are a serious film fan or even a film maker, you should see this movie. I could easily watch this again trying to pick up on all the many nuances I might have missed the first time. I would rather go to the dentist that watch putrid horse poop like Iron man vs Captain America. This movie was made for a million bucks and good lord, was the money well spent. The people who make this film are artists. You may think there are plot holes where its really simply leaving something for you think about. Parts of the move are vague and leave you guessing a bit. In fact there is no one in tights during the entire movie. This move is real, there are no heros, no Iron Men, no Caped Crusader, no Scarlett Johanssen beating hell of dozens of massive opponents armed wit machine guns. The fact that you will sympathize with Jack and even feel a bit akin to the "Sausage King" is a superb example of masterful film making and manipulation of the audience.

They are all "characters" that could best be described as lost souls. There are no good guys anywhere in this movie. This movie is all about horribly flawed people going about life in horribly destructive ways and generally making the world a much more horrible place to live in. Tom Seismore gives a great performance as a high class pimp and the Porn director steals a huge chunck of the film and actually has the best role. The Hit-man Jack has his serene murder for hire life terribly complicated by a bad knee, bad girls, bad porn stars, and bad characters trying to make him an offer he literally can't refuse. If I was to compare it to something more recent that would probably be the move the ACCountant.though this is really better in most ways though I liked the Affleck film. This is about intense casting, intense acting, intense directing, intense scripting, and intense viewing. There are not big explosions, long drawn violent scenes, and little appeal to thirteen year old kids.

This movie is not for fans of John Wick or Chuck Norris.
