I'm still digesting a film that feels like an excellent character movie that indulged two power houses.

This is a great short story that allows Brad Pitt and George Clooney to just be the good friends that work really well together to have fun together.

They have a lot of great moments where the natural banter of two of this generations best actors shine. The director allowed them to flex their strengths, and gave them the opportunity to do it.

They also have these great moments where nothing is said, but we all know them so well, we can almost hear what they're thinking. To me, this generated the most intriguing moments of the movie.

I was excited for this movie and it really didn't disappoint.

Dev Patel has earned his place as an outstanding actor, and this movie makes me want to see more from him. Could it be said it's a clone of the John Wick movies? Sure... But it certainly isn't a disrespectful or uninspired bad clone. I really enjoyed the pacing, story, cinematography... Everything.

For his directorial debut, Dev made a great action film that I honestly want to see what he does next and how he grows from the lessons learned from this film.

I did find some of the action sequences disjointed, but there's some real gems in those sequences.

I also appreciated the diversity in the cast of characters. I don't know much about the Bollywood, but I certainly hope this finds a great audience all over.
