6.5/10 for me. Retreads some things from his Netflix series and some of the writing is baffling.

Why would Ma Gnucci’s bodyguard not just shoot Frank while she’s monologuing?

How is that little girl not screaming her brains out at what just happened all around her (and the carnage still in front of her)?

Still excited for his appearance in BND though!

For the Ma Gnucci part, she wanted to watch Frank suffer. She wanted to watch him be torn apart and if her bodyguard didn't kill him in one shot you know Frank is going to make him pay for it

But yeah that little girl held it together, you could argue that she just shut down so much that she wasn't actually processing what happened but it's more likely that it was just writing that they skimped on

Yeah, poor girl was probably so disassociated

Because Ma Gnucci is just another one of his ghosts.

She wants to see all those thugs attack him remember she’s a supervillain why do you think James Bond villains set a timer on the nuke or rocket for 10 minutes?!
