Movie Rating

Better-than-you'd-expect crime drama built around the closest thing to an actual acting performance Jason Statham has ever given. Statham plays the usual honourable but dangerous leg-breaker, but on this occasion the focus is more on who he is and why he does what he does than the incidentals of the plot.

That said, the script is sympathetically written (Statham doesn't have to cry or emote too much) and he's well-supported by a bunch of other people. There aren't as many action sequences as usual, but when they do come along they are top bracket. In the end it's an interesting combination of character study and violent thriller; my fondness for J-Stat may factor into why I found it fairly agreeable, though. An interesting change of pace for Mr S if nothing else.

Rather enjoyable

So I downloaded this for free as I enjoy taking breaks from violent videogames, although it's a little bit too basic, it's a rather enjoyable game but it's not without its flaws.

The levels were fun and the ability to change into multiple creatures with their own unique abilities is a fun input.
Bright colours and some cool looking but average characters allow for some enjoyment.

Unfortunately not all transformations are available until the end of the game (literally attained last one second to last level) so not much time to enjoy it, leaving an odd sense of Why? And I still haven't attained all the extra abilities lol.

Shantae: half genie hero is the first game of the franchise I've played, but this has made me wanna check out the rest.
