I almost thought it was a straight up recolor but no! new pose!

"Killing for the man every night and day"!

Love it!

These are so cool, love these Blacksploitation throwbacks.

Thing that's gonna make this a tough sell is, Taraji is kinda aging...The role was better suited for a younger woman. Tessa Thompson, Alexandra Shipp.

I'll do the honors:

 

[Krissykins]

Henson is an incredible actress.

 

Age has nothing to do with it.

 

Doesnt Liam Neeson still make these? He’s 65. 

 

End of discussion!

Rated R for violence

That's a very short description, by MPAA's standards. 

 

I hope the action is good. This movie has the same DP from John Wick Chapter 2 and the editor is the same dude who also edited John Wick Chapter 2.

 

Director did London Has Fallen.

I think this movie is going to surprise a lot of people with its box office.

You think people will be proud of this movie?

[Blaze Heatnix]

Not a single review, barely any promotion, no big interviews...

 

I'm curious about this movie.

And folks are wondering why it's not being screened.

London Has Fallen is kind of awful but I mean the director deserves some props for turning one of the most dour, grim and joyless action movies I've ever seen into something that at least tries to have some fun with itself

[EmpireCity]

It is a terrible movie.

Is the plot nonexistent? I kind of get that feeling from the minimal marketing.

I found an article and an interview about this film's deeper contexts, but that's all I could find other than a few box office articles and a speculative article asking why Sony is burying this film.

[Blaze Heatnix]

According to Scott Mendelson, budget for this movie is just 14 million. So, perhaps it won't flop at all...

 

Mendelson also says we should watch Proud Mary ( no matter if it's good or bad, yes he writes that ) because maybe we won't get another chance of seeing a black hitwoman kicking ass like Liam Neeson.

Yeah I think this should make back its budget on its first weekend alone.
