Stallone plays a hitman named Jimmy Bonomo who is set up after his last job and now he looks to find some vengeance for the guy or girl who did him wrong. Sounds familiar right, we’ll of course it does it’s Sly, you want him to kick some butt I know I did. With the help of a Detective from D.C(Sung Kang) and his daughter(Sarah Shahi) Stallone tries to tow the line between legit guy looking for some revenge and somebody who does have a conscience. Standing in the way, well the bad guys, all movies like this have ‘em including the leader who is looking to take over the money end of New Orleans with property and his big bad henchman who you definitely don’t want to get tangled up with.
Stallone does a great job of having a likable side even though technically he’s kinda a bad guy too but just not as bad as the real bad guys, get my drift I knew you would. Anyway Stallone does some great fight scenes in this flick including the end one with one bad ass Keegan(Jason Momoa) which will not disappoint. Look I’ll be honest with ya, there is a story in there but to me that’s secondary to the screen presence of Stallone, he commands when he’s up there and is always ready to deliver a one liner or two. The movie is campy and can get a little convoluted with all the who’s on who’s team or who is back stabbing who but Walter Hill(48 hours) directs this movie in a fast paced way so that it flys by with just enough dialogue and plenty of bullets flying and cars exploding.
If you wanna have a night with the guys or you and your significant other want to take a ride then this is the movie for you, if you want to make out and cry then you should look somewhere else. Stallone delivers in the Stallone way and that was enough for me.
