I like the atmosphere here. It feels pretty unique, what with the font and the character designs. The music also added a lot to that feeling. The story seems interesting too. However, the action was pretty lacking. It's not that the animation wasn't good, it was. There just weren't really any super interrsting kills. I get this is a more grounded universe, but you still could have had some cool shootouts. I certainly liked the strategic stealth takeouts. The three guys inside were quite simple though. I don't see the logic of wasting bullets on the guy who was already full of holes. The knife kill was, I guess, pretty strategic but not too exciting. Dione's death was cool though. That face att he end looked awesome too.
I just realized that this is episode 1. It kinda thrusts you right into the middle of the story. I feel like we should have seen what happened with the broken AK-47s, seen Dione doing things, had a bit of insight into this organization. I mean, who's Giuseppe?
I feel hype for this series, it's got potential, but you need to make it at least a bit more exciting or stealthy and maybe give us a prequel to this episode.

YES! I totally agree! The lack of action and simplicity of the kills were what I considered the weakest part of this movie. I really want to improve that aspect in the upcoming movies, so be looking forward to that. And also, for Episode 2, I will be digging more into the backstory of the characters we see here. And overall explain better who is who, and what is what. Thanks for the review! It is much appreciated!
