Thunderbolts*

Loud, direct, no unnecessary pauses — the film knows what it wants to do and does it without apology. Action here isn't a garnish, it's the main course. The director holds the rhythm hard.

Thin on script, but strong on execution of key scenes. Not every action film handles space and pacing this well. You can forgive the cardboard characters for that.

For those who watch action films for the action. Fans of thoughtful cinema — skip it.
