It's an amazing Wahlberg film. Every actor did what they were supposed to do and the OTT jagged presentation was the icing on the cake. Dry punching and low shot sound with a real kick recoil, steel feel weapons and frenetic personalities make it real enough in a oh not so real plot and result.
Every film needs to be judged in its own category and every actor on their character and this one is ace in both. Wahlberg can act as well as looking fit on screen and regardless of the genre, this is one of his best performances. I was impressed.
I agree it is very game reminiscent and definitely has Tom Clancy vibes, but again, this is what it's meant to be. I love films where the intro, the middle and the end are kind of thrown in at the same time and find people who complain that they are too jumbled should just go and see Disney movies (sorry, not sorry).
I can't understand why this isn't a cult film already, it is that good.
