“Hi, Dad. It’s me, Frank Jr. I want to be just like you, but at the same time be completely different and original.”
Nailed it. What a triumph. Not every bit works for me, but it’s so rapid-fire that I hardly noticed the misses. Great variety between big setpiece jokes and wonderful little throwaway jokes like the evil executives who can’t ride motorcycles. The SPOILER_REDACTED montage should be hung up in the Comedy Louvre - I nearly fainted from laughing at that.
Also realizes that the great action-comedies also need to be great action movies. Shot beautifully and with a crazy good score from Lorne Balfa that… well, it’s just like some of his classic all-timer scores while also being completely different and original.
