Statham plays a newly-hired cash truck security guard who seems to be extremely good at murdering people, much to the shock of his new co-workers....

Blood AMC Is that what you wanted? Did you want to see Walter White, former school teacher, gun down a clubhouse full of Nazis? Sure, we were spared the full-Scarface treatment because Walt built himself a little robot. (Yes, Jesse, a robot.) So he blinded them with science…b*tch. Okay, but seriously, was that what you wanted? A bloodbath? I’m not sure I did. I absolutely expected one, but I’m not sure I wanted one....

I felt it was a film that had some good ideas poorly realized, and I can only hope that “Halloween Ends,” the third and allegedly final film in this current series, will bring all of the elements introduced in “Halloween” 2018 and “Halloween Kills” together successfully....
