- ZokkiieMarch 24, 2026Second time watching this—I saw it last year with zero expectations. It still hits in all the right ways: tense, gritty, and confident without trying too hard. Some scenes drag a bit, but the atmosphere keeps you hooked. And yeah… Val Kilmer’s Irish accent is hilariously bad—distracting at first, but you kind of end up enjoying it as part of the chaos. Overall, it’s a surprisingly fun watch that sticks with you longer than you think.
