Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Gloriously unconvincing explosions that deserve respect.

Stunts

Daniel Bernhardt's Belgian kickboxing actually lands.

Acting

Robert Englund playing military villain, not Freddy, somehow works.

Best for:Friends: Irony-forward group viewing with snacks and commentary.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while explosions happen.·Rewatch: Catching every absurd plot hole on second viewing.
Heads up:Violence: Constant gunplay, neck-snaps, and one very fake car-flip.
