Tries its best

Round up: No way out or Outlaws 3 has all of the iconic elements of the previous movies: violent fight as a comic relief, lots of stabbing, a lot more swearing, fast pace, not much of a storyline, a single unarmed person defeating a bunch of armed people, even the truth room BUT .... at the end something's lacking in this one that makes it less enjoyable than the others.


A large part of it is about his new team. They lack the charisma and craziness of the previous team who went to fight like mad. 3 of them were outed early and those 2 from Narcos weren't much better. That made fight scenes inferior. Ma Suk Du can only do much by slapping people unconcious. He needs some like minded people around to keep the numbers.


The villain is a nice surprise but for all his evilness is stupid, the kind of psycopathic foolishness that doesn't think just kills. It's a wonder how he'd managed to keep his side business a secret all these years. Maybe the promise of huge money in his last deal had made him mad and desperate, still I didn't like him. The Japanese were usual evil fixers, did good with what they had.


Despite all flaws, I enjoyed it and had a good laugh and I'll watch the future movie(s) because I love this genre but I wouldn't keep my expectations high.


If I want to rewatch, I prefer to rewatch the others.
