The Review: Headshot



Headshot 7/10

I just finished watching this movie called Headshot on Netflix. Found it by accident which is how Netflix goes since they think they know what I want to see and hide what I really do. This is pretty much a long movie with a simple premise but that seems to be a thing with the few action movies I've seen from Indonesia. There is this weird ability to not know when to end the movie. I saw this because the guy, Iko Uwais, from The Raid and The Raid 2 starred in it and that dude can beat the shit out of folks with his elbows and knees. He washes up on a beach all jacked up after a flashback showing a prison escape that is prefaced on carelessness and police with bad aim.


By the way, in this movie you will not be shot if you move. One of the biggest shootings happen on a bus because they were all seated. Anyhoot, dude with no memory meets a cute ass doctor and she takes him to Jakarta with her and all hell breaks loose. The guy that escaped prison knows him and it turns out that before he lost his memory he was running with some really bad people. This movie is mostly fighting that looks awesome with a tiny story tossed in. I wish the people that choreographed these fights did almost every action movie. They don't do hundreds of shots every few seconds and when people are hurt they stay hurt for a while which is what I loved about John Wick.
