At last, that hour and a half of footage of other people playing a video game on a really big screen.

A video game acted out by batshit insane Russians and Sharlto Copley.

the very end was really off-putting to me. Those parts weren't even really very offensive it's just like, it's 2016 y'all I thought we were past this stuff and kinda gets in the way of the fun.

I'm curious, would you mind spoiling it in tags? I'm probably seeing this with very social-justice-minded folks so I wanna know how bad I should expect their reaction to be.

...man, this movie really, really hates women. Like, I'm used to some misogyny in dumb action movies just because it's such a male-targeted genre, but that joke at the end of the nightclub scene was impressively loving brazen, and I was also really not cool with how often this movie brings up rape. I'm also not sure if I'm comfortable with the ending; it felt a little sadistic compared to Henry killing... well, basically everyone else.

e: if you can ignore the movie's politics, it's worth a look, but only if you can ignore the movie's politics, because holy loving christ on a bike

Major missed opportunity in this movie: Akan never bursts someone into a cloud of gore with his brain, just throws people around. If you give your villain psychic powers in a hard-R action movie, I wanna see some dudes getting wrecked with psychic powers.
