Momoa finds an excuse to take off the top even in frozen country.
Poor story, fight scenes, editing and direction which bordered on student work, of a student trying to copy what was seen elsewhere.
Make-up, scenography and continuity as well.
Shame, because there were some solid actors there, and I do not mean the lead model.
It is just a movie, but, please, try to put some effort when tying the story, and make the fight and shooting scenes and outcomes at least remotely plausible.
Movie shows the dedication to gory killing scenes, some taken from others (that screwdriver scene a la knife-pushing in Private Ryan etc etc). You just get fed up with all the slashing.
Some drop down in first go, and some keep on popping back up, but not the way such routine of "undestructable villain" was done in other movies. Just a result of bad writing, where they needed a person in that spot, but ran out of bad guys, and decided that the one shot earlier must still be there.
It looked as if the decision of who is going to drop right now, and who is going to keep on living with all the stabs or shots, must have been based on payroll and availability of actors and props.
If you last long enough to see some of JM character's wins in hand-to-hand fight with villains, you will wish for the realism of Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry.
If not earlier, the "why am I watching this" will definitely come to mind then.
Done so badly, that it is not even an adrenaline rush.
As if the writers just wanted to go home, with director about two steps behind them.

Fairly ambitious casting, to support Fonda and Lohan.
Lohan plays herself, looking mid-thirties at twenty
Hearthrobs aplenty, both male and female, for any generation.
Mix formula added all the ingredients, confusion, anger, betrayal, sorrow, tease lust, and then stirred it up.
The usual half the movie tying the knots and then the other half untying the knots It works.
Some channels try to classify it as comedy, which it is not, unless you take a campy view of somewhat silly setup and plot. It happens in some imaginary (as imagined by some coastal metro area people) Idaho (really a private one in this case), with Mormons, supposedly.
Movies prop people did try to be funny with their road signs, with this "Idaho", where, for example, shows an intersection which is about 50 miles from Boise and some 98 miles from Reno. Inside joke, I guess, saying, "hey, we really do not take all this drama seriously, it is for the noney".
While the movie, the plot, the acting, takes itself very seriously and dramatically There were also attempts to deliver memorable smart aleck one liners, in style of Shirley McLaine in Steel Magnolias. May have tried too hard.
Fonda "For a smart girl, you are good at stupid".
Or Lohan's "No good deed goes unpunished" in aftermath of sex.
Movie and pretty people will keep you busy for hour and a half. It will not hurt, much. Easy on the eye.
No money troubles, always sunny (not Philadelphia).

Good old-fashioned dirty "fun".
What would Geena Davis character do after transitioning into moustache-and-muscle-less Charles Bronson character if left Home Alone and prepare for the burglars, who would not be Wet Bandits. With some slight wolverinish indestructibility.
Well done action, fights choreography in the style of History of Violence, as in "use the utensils and be economic" plus John Wick escalation.
If you had a hard week or day, or year, or life, watch it.and then go back to the same jobs that Odenkirk character is doing in the beginning of the movie, and appreciate the real life.
There are still some comedic-distance moments to remind that a story like this is just a movie, without having a need for warning "do not do this at home", for any at least quarter-sane person.
