“I have this great idea! Jason Statham plays this normal dude with a normal job but actually, he is a hidden badass! Now, he is caught up in a situation where he has got to stop this evil guy!” ~ some screenwriter for the 4th time in a row
Vibrant and colourful visuals, amazing and distinct set design, an interesting premise with a little girl hiring a hitman to kill the monster under her bed and Mads Mikkelson as the Hitman. It’s an incredibly imaginative, quirky, creative and playful film. It’s brought down by an unfortunately poor pacing and a real lack of action set pieces. For a film on hitmen, it really needed a bit more action to really sell the film and world itself. Still worth watching for how surreal the film is.
