Fair play to the man, he's made this happen, and that's one hell of a trailer.

Another trailer for this; hard not to compare it to John Wick but that's no bad thing.. It looks fairly epic and crunchy. Like others I do kinda wonder what Indians will make of this given Patel might be seen as an outsider.

Great interview where he describes how he got it made, he nearly killed himself to get it made. Netflix gave the money but then refused to release it because it criticized Hindu sectarianism, Peele got Universal to take it on.

Saw it on Saturday.

It was fine. The action looked great, and the look and feel of the scenes was great too. But the underlying story was a bit disappointing and generic. It really felt like a bunch of disconnected fight scenes (which were great to be fair) with a rough story around it.

Still enjoyed it though.
