Rating: ★★★½ (3.5/5)

The review copy came with a DD+ 5.1 track. The low end (gunshots, the thud of a sucker punch) is punchy. However, the Atmos mix (if you can find the higher-tier stream) is superior—helicopter rotors actually pan overhead during the Marseille sting.

The plot is predictable (will they betray each other? Of course they will), and the run time (2 hours, 24 minutes) is unjustifiable for a movie this pulpy. However, the action is bone-crunching, the double-crosses are fun, and Butler chews the Riviera scenery like a man who just discovered escargot with hot sauce. It’s dumb, loud, and satisfying.
