Not bad. Not the best.

I'm a Bert fan. I enjoyed seeing the time during filming(Via Bert's IG stories). The movie wasn't terrible but I don't think there's any reason to watch it more than once.

I think Mark Hamill will definitely get more butts in seats for this movie. I knew the movie was going to expand on his Russian mafia story but I didn't realize it was going to be a back and forth between 20 years ago and present day basically stretching out a 15 minute story into almost 2 hours.

The final act with Bert just kicking ass was the highlight of the movie.

I do know that Bert enjoyed making this movie and he's proud of it. It definitely came across on screen. You can tell he had a blast acting and that alone is one reason to see it.

I was a little disappointed with my theater... I don't think anyone in the crowd knew Leeann had a small role except for me. That was a nice easter egg for the fans.

As for an action movie, I think it's great. Being a stand-up comedian movie though, I think I was expecting a little more comedy. Dirty comedy. Being able to laugh uncontrollably comedy. Unfortunately this movie didn't have that. It had some funny-haha moments but nothing that made me roll around the floor laughing.
