Great review!

[@kennethsparks2599]

Yo! You were spot on with the review! I saw it many years ago, and I was hoping you didn't judge it by today's standards of movie making. And you didn't. Really great. Charles Bronson was the John Wick of that time. You picked up on his emotional status too. Real good! You did the movie a solid.
