That's pretty much what it is but I'll say this: I liked it more than John Wick 4. When the dude gets hit by a car, he's sorta kinda messed up for a bit. I mean the cloth sling that immediately comes off when it has to isn't much, but it's better than Keanu just standing up from that shit. So, I guess all action movies are now are set pieces, and this movie has one that's a stitched-together long single take of a car chase, foot chase, action scene type thing that's pretty cool. That one scene (which is like 10 minutes long) and the fact that the damage was somewhat realistic made it enough to get through being entertained. It's not like some great shock that the story has been done a thousand times before, I was in the mood for a no-brainer action movie and that's what I got. And the is-he-dead-or-not ending was also done better than John Wick 4.
