I cried :(

I wanted this action comedy to either be sillier or more earnest. The fight scenes are solid - in particular the professional wrestling antics of Marshawn Lynch and André Eriksen's characters, exactly the kind of silliness I wanted more of - and Ke Huy Quan is undeniably winning as the soft-spoken leading man. The subplot where Quan's assistant and one of the assassins trying to kill him fall in love also had me laughing. But the ending is a bit of a muddle and left me confused about what the movie thought of Marvin Gabel as a character.

Really enjoyable, especially when it focuses in on Lucy in the third act, and fully dramatizes the character's eventual decision to try and kill Dracula. The indelible moment in this movie for me is when Dracula appears in Lucy's chamber at night; she bares her throat to him and darkly dares him to do his worst, and he recoils in fear. It's a full realization of the strength and sensitivity we see in Ellen in the silent version.
