Story: A retired special forces officer is trapped in a never ending time loop on the day of his death. Group of assassin are after him for no reason, he must find out why he keeps return from death and reliving a ground hog day event. 

Likes: I will say this film was thoroughly entertaining, funny and well written, while this does have a concept that has been done, but not as successfully done as this film. This has alot of good action sequences, a few chuckles throughout with a few touching moments, the main part of this movie is  Frank Grillo who is in unbelievable shape for 55, brings an absolutely hilarious comedy and playing it to perfection which make his onscreen presence entertaining. 

Frank has done a few B movie, but this film is one of those high level movies that worth watching for its action and star power. Especial when he delivers the main guy Boss Level delivering  an outstanding performance with blasé deadpan attitude which is very funny - after all he is a guy who was just over it, starting each day, dying, rinse and repeat to the point it driving him nuts. 

Mel Gibson is perfect for the Antagonist, he has that certain charm and characteristic, playing a guy you know if you cross he would have you erased, which certainly shows in this film, along with the assassins who have different personality and traits make the villains very funny at times. Will Sasso who normal plays a comedic roles its actually good to see him in a serious role, show his acting skills to play a henchman. 

I can honest say this is the best film of 2021 ive seen so far, with great action, funny comedic one liners, with great acting, direction and choreograph fight scenes, as well as the special effects this is a film i can honest recommend watching if you havent already in a groundhog meets kill bill style action film.      

Dislikes: The only one grip, is the the whole films is amazing entertainment all the way through, but the ending kind of lack writing to give a better ending, other than that this film was worth watching.  

      

Overall: Great action scene, Great direction, good acting, funny at times, just lacking a bit with the ending. 

Rating:  5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9 out of 10 for Concept.
