How did Winston get to be the manager of The Continental, the hotel for hitmen in the John Wick films?

Not a question I ever really thought of before, but that is more or less the driving premise behind this 1970s set prequel (of a sort) to the John Wick movies.

The series is 3 episodes long, each roughly about 1.5 hours long, with each themselves more or less split into 3 acts. In all cases, I found the middle part (and the middle episode) to be the weakest.

Plot Points
This film was okay... That's about all. Nothing spectacular but its wasn't horrendous either.
The story wasn't overly original and the ending was a little obvious from the beginning if your paying attention and had seen films in this genre before.
There were several points within the story that just seemed a little... dumb... Like trying to reach for something whilst chained to a wooden coffee table and really struggling... Is the coffee table not able to be moved? It didn't show that it was bolted down to the floor or anything.
The one thing that was brilliant in this was each actors split acting... The two sides they were portraying.
Lupita Nyong'o was the standout here because I felt her two sides had the biggest contrast so we saw more of the two sides so was easier to see the contrast and it was fabulous.
Evan Alex was also amazing as both Jason and Pluto as I felt both his sides had large contrasts on character and showed off different abilities of his acting skills.
I wouldn't bother rushing out to see it at the cinema, but if your curious wait for the DVD.

It's an origin story
Can we just talk about James McAvoy for a minute here. We've already seen his performance in "Split", so we already knew what we were getting here. Or were we? He is off the hook here! Just plain amazing. Every second of him on the screen is pure magic. His ability to switch between personalities is amazing & shows he's one of the greatest actors out there.

For those who didn't know, "Glass" is a sequel to both "Unbreakable" & "Split", two films by M. Night Shyamalan . Famous for his twist endings (both good & bad), this film has another, which you won't see coming, but it's not a huge twist. I've heard people say they didn't like the ending, but I found it really good & satisfying.

The story is kind of slow moving, but it keeps you interested. Returning characters from both movies, not including the 3 main stars, are a welcome surprise. I don't want to give too much away, but let's say most of the movie takes place inside an Asylum where a doctor is trying to convince the 3 they don't have superpowers. Yeah, doesn't sound too interesting, but it is. I enjoyed it very much
