    It is a good films and well worth it. but yes, it has undoubtedly hurt it's box office, as the runtime has probably kept more than a few away from going to it at the cinema, when thery can wait for streaming and be able to pause it as it is needed (for a drink, toilet whatever), compared to not having much change from 4hrs straight (if walking in halfway through the trailers before the film) without a break.

    Won't be everyones cup of tea but i really enjoyed it, inside the mind of a hitman, Fassbender is excellent.

    Sadly a lot of flaws outweigh the positives here. Far too much tell and not show. coupled with pacing isssues that doesn not do the source material justice. Especially leaving so much weakened and depleted first act. Would've been better to split the source novel into two movies and expand apon both the first and third acts and beyond, instead of this. Will be curious if they do release an extended addition with the 1st and 3rd act expanded upon, but as is, am more than a bit underwhelmed and better to the original source prequel book than this adaptation that seeminglt felt so much on the editing room floor.

    Just Watched Sound Of Freedom and thought it was well played 7/10 thankfully it didn’t go into anything to Graphic regarding child Trafficking. Was an eye opener that’s for sure , didn’t realise it was a 150 billion dollar a year Business and the US is one of the biggest Destinations for human trafficking aswell as being among the largest consumers of child molesters.

    fair play going deep down into cartel land not many men would do that.
