This special is not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but his earlier ones are better. His insights on human nature are still spot on, but he tries to ruin things with injecting some unnecessary politics into the show. I mean, this was taped a year into Biden's presidency but he still talks about Trump and Pence, which is quite stale. He also touches some contentious identity politics stuff we could've lived without. There's no need to taint entertainment with that.

The show is pretty short, barely an hour, which is not unheard of for stand-ups, but it still feels being ripped off as we had to wait 6 years for it. We get so little of him and so rarely it's just not enough.

Still, some jokes are exquisite, and overall this show is a lot better than most others nowadays. It certainly offers a more refined kind of humor than the flood of racial and sexual jokes that seem to be the standard for many comedians.

An absolute mess of a movie. Atrocius acting, dumb plot, poor CGI and low production values. The worst part is that Michael Jai White either just phoned it in even in most of the fight scenes, or he's getting old, slow, and out of shape. I'd hate it if he turned into the next Steven Seagal, making a fool of himself churning out laughable B movies even when he can hardly walk up a flight of stairs any more.

Only watch this movie if you're into the "so bad it's unintentionally funny" thing, but probably even that's a stretch.

John Woo is an action director with a trademark style of going over the top with literally everything. If someone is kicked in the guts he will fly backwards at least 10 meters falling through a window or wall but he will still shoot 2 people and punch a third one while in mid-air, pigeons fly everywhere and everything blows up. It has nothing to do with the latest western trend of being sick and twisted though, the gore is stylized but not stomach turning, there are no perverted sexual scenes and not everyone are insane sadistic psychopaths whose only joy in life is torture and rape.

In short, Woo's style is the classic 90's action movie turned up to eleven. If you like that you will enjoy this movie, if not then don't waste your time.
