I’m not alone at Tom’s Guide either.

The hype for this Tom Hardy action film from “The Raid” director Gareth Evans is real.

The latest trailer, though, cranks that hype up to 11 and literally has my heart pounding.

And not just because the whole thing is set to “Starburster” by Fontaines D.C. As soon as he sees the footage, he knows his day just got worse.

Which is a promising sign a good action movie shouldn’t make things complicated.
