What makes it anticipatedÂ
Many parts of this film are highly entertaining, though. The action is fast, brutal, gruesome, and best of all, realistic. The bus fight entirely makes this movie brilliant on its own. I mean, it’s always great to see the underdog beat the bad guys up! The sheer brutality and gore used in the scene is individualistic compared to other films, but sort of reminds me of the sort of thing you would see on the recent series of “The Punisher”; that is a huge positive, by the way.Â
