A little over done with too much abstract forwards and reverses in the beginning of the film. Fails miserably to establish an connection to the characters. Unlike John Wick which has about the same body count, explosions and big bad guys. John Wick worked because it was not convoluted in the beginning. Although a hit ma by trade he retired and married and she died (wife) left him a puppy, Bad guys kill puppy trying to kill John, this make the audience hate these people and sympathize with John.
