I wouldn't necessarily say I was super interested in this movie. I just saw it on Netflix and just gave it a shot. When the nameless protagonist screws up an assassination attempt, his girlfriend is nearly killed, resulting in him going on a manhunt .
I didn't get into the movie as much as I'd hoped. In fact, the first act of the film was kind of slow and a little boring. But I pulled through. And though I was still less than impressed, it did have some really good and thrilling moments. The best part about the movie is it's kills. They were either very creative, or done in the most savage way possible. Michael Fassbender's nonchalant performance definitely helped with that. I really liked how the protagonist is nonchalant, but not when it came to his loved ones (his girlfriend). While he still didn't show much emotion, it was still apparent that he cared about her a lot, other wise this movie would not exist. But it does show that he's not completely heartless.
Overall, this movie was far from bad, but I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. Of all the action movies I've seen this year, this one is definitely my least favorite. But it was still decent.
