2.5 hours of bloat. None of this makes sense to me. Lots of killing. Lots of love? Really not enough of anything to make it 3.5 hours. Everything looks good. Really cool stuff but...I suppose i don't have the cultural knowledge to get emotionally involved in the random killing, sex, betrayal, doubles... Unbelievable and the runtime, unbearable.

3 and a half hours of action, drama, intrigue and character study. Vanga shows he believes in quality over quantity, thereby balancing the dose of violent action with character drama. Some comedy aimed at male audiences also makes occasional appearance. Not a film for the faint-hearted, feminists or detractors of the action thriller genre. A lot of random scenes happen post the action-packed interval scene, but they add depth to the characters. Those crying about toxicity and misogyny need a dictionary, not a Netflix subscription. Chill.
