Can't believe this hasn't been seen and reviewed previously here. A search turned up nothing.
Stallone is a hit man who just completed a job and is now being double crossed. He finds himself in an unlikely team with a cop, Han from the F&F movies, from DC even though this is New Orleans. He and Han must figure out who is involved in this corrupt city and take them all out...or in...or down. (You'll get that when you see the movie.)
The bad guy hitman, because Sly's a good guy murderer, caused this actual conversation in my head:
"Who is that guy? I've seen him before. He looks like a low rent Jason Momoa." Looks it up... "Oh, that is Jason Momoa."
Christian Slater is also here, but has a small role.
Your enjoyment of the film will depend on if you think a hitman can have a heart of gold and expose himself, his family, and his personal life to a cop without any fear of consequences. I mean, we all know hitmen right? Because they're so public with details of their life...
The writing also leaves a lot to be desired. If your IQ is above 10 you will question why a lot of the things that happen, happen. Like why did they hire him in the first place when they have the killing machine that is Jason Momoa? Why does a bar full of criminals in an organization let a guy walk through them without answering their questions only to try and kill him AFTER he's had access to the stuff they were guarding? Why hire a guy you were trying to kill? How can you trust him? Why not just fucking shoot the guy? Have you never seen a movie?
You've seen variations of this movie before, but this one has Stallone in it.
It was a good time killer, but I'd never watch it again.
