A visually striking action picture that makes no credible sense

A Better Way to Die is a slick action picture directed by and starring Scott Wiper. The film has the look of a John Woo movie with well directed action scenes and a heightened sense of tension throughout.

However, the story lacks any credibility whatsoever and takes us from one unbelievable event to the next. Yet, somehow it still works on a visual and visceral level. The characters are well developed for this genre, sort of reminiscent of those out of a modern day spaghetti western.

A Better Way to Die winds up being an entertaining mixed bag of sorts--one that, if not taken too seriously, can take you for a nice ride.
