Everything after the part where he starts kicking ass is going to turn out to be a dream right?
I got some real Total Recall vibes from that trailer

This looks pretty awesome. That just HAS to be a Wexler/McGill reference on the coffee mug near the beginning right?

Yeah it feels like it's got to be subversive somehow. Come in expecting Wick, get a little lesson on how dumb it is to have macho fantasies about beating up people. I'd dig it if done well.

On the one hand it looks fun and Bob looks great in this role. On the other hand it's more home defense gun porn for the usual suspects.

Hardcore Henry had some fun and inventive action wrapped around a total non-story and an FP perspective gimmick that wears out its welcome a bit.

It'll be interesting to see how that pans out in a bigger budget movie without the gimmick.

I wanna be excited for Bob, but yeah seems a bit derivative. Hopefully there's a fun subversion of some sort.

The dude trained for two years for the role because he didn't want a stuntman doing his fighting. Mad respect for Bob.

I mean it looks well put together but this is such a retread for John Wick, hard to get pumped. I was hoping it was more about dude just snapping but ex tough guy having come out of retirement again? With the same talent as John Wick.... eh.... If we got the John Wick movies any more frequently I'd probably be burned out there. At least there is a family angle that might make it fresh but 'old man Wick' is still coming off like the terminator. Will watch at some point but hype is low.

I mean yeah it's John Wick but John Wick's story sucked anyway. It's basically just going to come down entirely to whether the action is good and there's lots of it.

John Wick went crap with the story so maybe this can have something interesting in it? Hoping it's not just a John Wick Rehash

Bob Odenkirk? I am in!
I've only seen John Wick one and two, but I like this variant of the story.
Looks fun and dumb.

Got some Bruce Willis vibes in that trailer.

It's almost a carbon copy of John wick. If they tie it in with the wick universe and maybe bob shows up in later wick movies it makes sense this exists. As a standalone it kinda feels cheap.

It's going to die being sent to theatres but I'll watch it when it's available for home.

99% sure they will pull a split ending where it will be revealed somehow to be in the same universe as john wick!

And it will be pure HYPE!

I never realized this existed. Shit looks so damn fun

Saul Wick is the thing I didn't know I wanted.

When I saw the thread I thought this was about Steve Oedekerk instead and imagined a Kung Pow-style John Wick parody
That's totally what I thought too before I remembered it was Mr Show/Saul, that would have been amazing. I really wish they could have done the Kung Pow sequel, I thought I heard there'd been progress lately but I might just be dreaming it up
