Trivia
"This film is very special to me," says Ron Perlman. "It pits a cold, dark, explosively violent world, filled with unspeakable histories, against the gravitational forces of long forgotten loved ones, making its reluctant hero do anything to protect the innocent. Anything! (7/19/2023)"

Goofs
When Peter calls his father, he tells him that Delfi "likes to put grapes in her cereal. The red ones, not the green ones." But, near the end of the film, Vic tells Peter's father "You know, for what it's worth, your boy died thinking not about himself but about his little girl. How she liked green grapes."

The trailer made this movie look way better than it does so whoever did the trailer needs a promotion to make this movie look as good as it did. On one hand this movie was well written. The use of welders goggles. How the daughter is the way she is and it works much better than the child actor in Last Action Hero with Arnold Schwarzenegger or similar. However Ron Perlman is too old for this role I think. He still has that charisma as he brings to all his other projects but that's about it. I found he had the right look but he was out of shape. I get it he's in his 70s but I still would have cast someone else.

How the baker finds everything out is too easy, I'm not expecting riddles to be solved or any of that but the second he goes into the night club and a certain hospital scene without ruining anything they seem to have dumbed it way down. There were a few fights but not as many as I would have wanted. Thankfully no huge gun fights or anything.

I would have got the writers to work a little harder on this. Especially since no adult actors are in this I really gave a crap about. One actor from a tv series Forever and the last thing I saw Ron in that was any good was Sons Of Anarchy.
