A slept on movie, so I'm curious about the sequel. Using the SAW is underrated in the first movie.
I'm not sure about this one. Ana de Armas makes me hard but I'm really getting tired of forcing female leads to take over solid franchises. I'm sure it'll be a great movie...

Word on the street is it's supposed to fall somewhere between JW3 and JW4....like a John Wick 3.5 so to speak!
JW4 ending is left ambiguous, with John presumed — but not confirmed — dead, with a post-credits scene teasing a confrontation between Caine and Akira (Rina Sawayama). She attacks him with a knife after Caine earlier in the movie killed her father, Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada) while sparing her.
The additional scene could be a teaser for a John Wick spinoff movie about Yen’s Caine assassin character, which is in the works at Lionsgate. The studio also has upcoming spinoff film Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, which takes place between the third and fourth John Wick movie

Looks great...not sure if it's a forcing female leads, or just another angle on a good story line. But I hear ya....
She is hot, and looks really capable.
I'm all for more good female leads, we need more quality role models in entertainment for young girls, like my daughter.
But when are they going to write new material for these powerful women? Instead it's been constantly rewriting established franchises or spin offs.
It's kinda of a catch-22. People(aside from terminally online weirdos) don't mind women in action lead roles, but people don't really go see female-fronted action films unless it's an established IP or an ensemble cast. Tomb Raider and Resident Evil worked because of the games, and I think it's fair to say the Suicide Squad movies were a female-fronted ensemble.
The last big female led movie I can honestly think of was Kill Bill. Atomic Blonde was really good, but not very many people (comparatively) went to see it.
I think we'll see an increase of "From the World of" stories in franchises, because the original John Wick movies already established there are female assassins that kick ass. I think that'll be more palatable to people than gender-swapping main characters.

Gives off strong vibes of La Femme Nikita set in the John Wick universe. That said, I'll see it.
There are so few movies coming out right now, especially good action-type movies; it's kind of strange. I'm sure this is due, in large part, to streaming services producing large series, but I miss having a good movie to look forward to, even if a trip to the theater costs an arm and a leg. I don't see anything worthwhile until 2025.
There's another problem, a legit one IMO that Team Incel unfortunately latches on to and that's some female characters are poorly written. Horribly written. The "Boss Babes" or whatever you want to call them like Rey from Star Wars, Ms. Marvel, etc. Look at superhero movies and sci-fi, even action/ adventure, and those genres aren't hotbeds for women viewership. Those are overwhelmingly male markets, so catering to women without penises is a great way to lose viewership and thus money.
I LOVE Atomic Blond and Kill Bill, never once did I think "They have vaginas, this is so Hollywood" and then go watch Jason Bourne like it is a documentary. How the character is written, their arc, the story...that matters.
But I also fuck, because I'm not an incel.
Kill Bill 1&2 is my favorite Tarantino, with Inglorious Basterds a close second.

Perfect; although I can go either way on alternating between Inglorious bastards or Pulp Fiction.
Worst Tarantino in my view: Django Unchained.
And Christoph Waltz, try as he might, will never top his bad guy performance in Basterds.

Watching A Few Good Men again. Haven't watched it in a long time. They just don't make actors like Jack Nicholson anymore.

A family favorite.,..
I'm not sure if the US gets Slow Horses, (Apple TV+) but if you like George Smiley, Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb is hilarious.
Free but with commercials.
