Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista play half-brothers with an unpleasant past. After their father dies mysteriously, they begrudgingly come together to uncover the truth. They also fight a lot (with others and each other). This is an action comedy that works for two reasons: The chemistry of the duo and the incredible action sequences. Bautista goes for gruff, while Momoa is the funniest he’s ever been with sly, off-handed comic delivery. The action scenes are insane with numerous wild blows and one crazy car chase (the CGI seemed to be peeking thru). There’s even a direct reference to the classic “hallway” scene from “Oldboy,” where he dispatches a number of opponents while working his way down the hall. The plot follows the basic formula, but the stars and the action help make it a fun popcorn entertainment.
