The film stars Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella, and Toby Jones. This will be Leitch's first solo credit as director, after co-directing John Wick with Chad Stahelski.

Good, I enjoyed it but there's some rather gratuitous violence. You?

Never seen it. What kind of movie is this?

Finally got around to watching this, it was okay. The story is good, just good. There is a lot of action but the fight choreography is poor. It's about 80 minutes of guys standing around waiting for Charlize Theron to beat them up. Only one bad guy ever fights back, some white haired guy, who was supposed to be the enemy badass I guess. And by badass I mean the only one willing to punch or attack a woman. Another 20 minutes of Charlize Theron naked, almost naked or making out with a girl. And about 15 minutes of plot. There is the twist and the twist inside the twist and other twists. Nothing here to inspire me to watch a sequel. In the 80's this would have been a blockbuster but I think we've pushed on since then.
