The Killer's Game

The Killer's Game delivers straightforward action with enough entertainment to keep you watching, though it's nothing revolutionary. The fight scenes are decent, but not on par with the gold standard that is John Wick. The cast of quirky assassins that span the world add some fun, almost like they're from Street Fighter just with less depth. Dave Bautista does his usual tough-guy routine, and while he's good, it's familiar territory for him.

The concept-an assassin accidentally putting a hit on himself due to a medical mistake-is unique, but the execution is predictable. There are laughs and a few solid action moments, but nothing that really stands out.

Overall, it's a fun and gory film that's enjoyable if you're looking for an easy, action-filled watch. Just don't expect it to leave a lasting impression.

I was expecting that JJ Perry having been in the army would actually know something about how weapons work, especially fragmentation grenades, but I was sadly disappointed. Also, as a stunt guy, I was thinking he could come up with cool but realistic stunts. But again, the stunts were contrived and defied physics.

I loved Bautista in GotG, Drax had depth, where Joe, an assassin, was BORING and predictable. Sofia's acting is a step up from David's, but still was a low for her. Again, this could have been the result of really poor directing.

Ben Kingsley and Alex Kingston consummate professionals that don't need a director, performed excellently. They accounted for a star by themselves.

Good concept bumbled by a over reaching stunt man.

Overall the movie is nothing special but I do love a good ol' fashion action flick. And it definitely serviced that need.

Story wise it was very mediocre. It's not gonna win any academy awards but it's serviceable for the movie. They tried to insert some comedy into it, but it didn't work out well.

Production value was just okay again with nothing special. I will see the fight choreography was good.

The characters are okay. Dave Batista not a good actor and he will never be a good actor unfortunately. So his performance didn't make the movie suffer. Terry Crews was really funny in it with his sidekick.

All in all the best part of this movie was the action. It was a jam packed full of it. If you like a good action movie, you're gonna like this one.

I'll say at least this for Dave Batista, he has great comedic timing. Is that enough to make him a leading man. All I can say is i already miss the muscle mass.

The strange part was watching Batista fake what he use to do on a nightly basis in a wrestling ring. I mean, despite losing 75 libs he's still a big man who stands out in a crowd making it far too easy to notice when a stuntman is being use for a simple body slam. Hollywood has tamed the animal.

On a positive note However, the action was good and the movie was funny. I thought it was perfect that the movie knew what it was to the point that it poked fun at itself. That just gave it the charm needed to cover up whatever it was missing

A cool watch.

This is a fun little movie, isn't very original nor very memorable but fun while it is on. To be clear, this had to be filmed as a movie not intended to go to theaters but it was better than expected. Dave Bautista, while looking odd, does a great job as he finally gets an action movie where he is the lead man

The plot is simple, introducing zany comic book type assisins and then killing them off in incresingly comically violent ways. Ben Kingsley and a Catholic priest are the comic relief and surprisingly that works really well, some good laughs. Scott Adkins and Terry Crews have smaller roles but always bring something fun to their performances.

I also appreciated the excessing grenade use in this film. I feel in real life hitmen would use grenades instead of exposing themselves for a gunfight. It is a movie of course, but eveyrone uses grenades first, and I approve of that.

You don't have to go to a theater to see it, but definately watch it when it comes to home video or streaming as it is a fun watch. There was scattered applause when the credits rolled and others seemed to generally like it.
