I think it's interesting that they make him mute and use Archer for his inner voice.

A deaf and mute boy trains to become the ultimate weapon to avenge his mother and sister. You hear his inner monologue throughout, which is voiced by H. Jon Benjamin.
You'll recognize some faces, but Pennywise is the biggest current name. There's a woman who was arguably bigger, but isn't these days.
Props to Brett Gelman who steals scenes. I'll never forget him introducing "rapey" into my lexicon ("The League").
There's some funny moments, some not funny moments that they wanted to be funny, and a lot of good action. Although, some of the action is shit because of a super high paced and close up shaky cam. There's also a villain with a cool concept. She's fun and "girl next door hot".
The story is kind of a mess because the villains are so over the top and, of course, there's a twist.
It's fine, but could have been a LOT better. I get why it bombed. The 6/10 on IMDB is pretty appropriate. I would have even accepted a 5.
