Viewing Notes

I liked this more than I remembered. Watched tonight just because it was action and I had just bought it today and I knew it’d keep me awake. A solid cast and Butler’s no-nonsense character make it work despite some logic gaps that appear if you think too hard (or think at all, let’s be honest). Looking forward to revisiting the sequel now.
