Now, I know a lot of people really don't like this movie, and for good reasons. But I kind of enjoyed it. Most of the acting was good, the jokes were alright, and the idea of one big shootout for a movie was pretty interesting and I kind of wanted it to work.
But the reality is, having a movie just be a shootout doesn't for the most substance filled and interesting movie. And you can tell that it doesn't work in a lot of ways. Mainly, the movie kind of gets drawled out padded with what feels like the same scene happening over and over again. Hence, the middle chunk of this movie is kind of boring. Basically, the movie's shootout starts and it's pretty interesting, some characters switch sides and you think some of the characters could die, but then all the characters get shot like once in like the knee or something so they're injured but not dead, and then the rest of the middle chunk of the movie is just people shooting and crawling with no underlying substance or change in plot. The movie also does this thing where like a character will pass out from an injury or blood loss, and some of them come back later and some just die, so you're kind of confused like is eh dead or not and theirs no clues to help you figure that out either.
Overall, it wasn't an awful movie, and it had it's moments, but it just was missing something that movies of it's genre like reservoir dogs had that ended up leaving the film kind of empty.
