  • It’s nuanced like you said and that’s why I love Bond. There are so many different films in the series, each with their own style/vision for the character yet they never stray too far away from the core concepts of the character; that makes for tons…

  • He was fantastic in the last Wick flick. A true stand out. His physical work was beautiful. I haven't seen much of this man's work, but I am now a fan. I'll be there to watch his continuing story.
