Snoop Dogg performing any kind of physically challenging task - let alone being an ass-kicking on-screen hero - is one of the least believable scenarios I can concoct in my mind. His brain is too fried from decades of drug abuse.

I'm all for dumb fun but this looks cheap and lazy and the fact that it's a Netflix production is not helping my assumptions either. We'll see.

Snoop can still play basketball and dunk on fools at 50.

Not like Snoop has been smoking meth all this time.. it's just weed.

Weed doesn't slow your reflexes at all, especially after decades of use.

God knows what else he uses. I wouldn't be surprised if he's tried every drug in the book. Just another immoral figure of adoration secular society has turned into a false idol.

Yet you just said him doing any sort of physically challenging task was "one of the least believable scenarios I can concoct."

Man, this was pretty bad actually.

The music during the big chase scene made me laugh out loud. Literally sounds like royalty free shit which is especially jarring as they feature at least two big licensed songs during the first half. Overall it's just a been there, done that flick which you've seen a million times before. And Franco's character is just bizarre btw. Like a child wrote that character and thought it was genuinely funny.

I'd give it a 3 or 4 out of 10.

It was an entertaining watch, with a very conventional story. Something about the entire premise made it feel more like an action/horror video game.
Had plenty of solid gory action scenes, and despite some funny movements all the emotional beats were pretty much predictable, with one-dimensional characters, and radio hits soundtrack to boot.
The cinematography was decent, but the color grading had that stock "this is L.A." tone to it.

The movie is terrible but SO GODDAMN FUN. It is a balls to the wall evil dead meets Kung fu meets Vampire$ schlock fest with strange pretensions of grandeur but fuck I don't care. The kills are amazing, the action is great, the comedy almost all hit. Snoop Dogg with a mini gun is the hero I never knew I needed :p

More of this Netflix, please.

Was pleasantly surprised with this one. Fights were pretty hype with the ragdoll physics, gun fu and comedy sprinkled throughout. Highly enjoyable film.

Wife and I watched about 20 minutes last and then she fell asleep, we'll finish it later.
Beginning spoilers but they talk about the Union and there is a sub plot about why Jamie Foxx's character can't go there to get his bounties, he says he isn't allowed there anymore. Then this subplot is resolved within the next 5 minutes. It felt so pointless and unnecessary.

Did you clap when Franco pissed his pants all those times?

It's finally nice for a film that shows the marginalized community of pantspissers up on screen.

I insist EVERY film must hire at least 3 pants pissers to major crew positions before they can be considered for an Oscar :p

Such an average film apart from the car chase and beginning and middle action scene, maybe even below average. This is the type of dreck that I don't want in Hollywood theatrical films so I'm happy it was only on Netflix. Give this director an actual good script without the cliches and lets see what he can do.
