Ok, this franchise is really silly and most of the characters in it are violent psychopaths. And the real people they're based on must have been vile.
But these are movies, so let's put that to one side.
In this one, the tone is markedly different from before. It's a "proper" film and leaves out the relentless mindless violence and swearing that numbs you that characterised the previous movies.
Here - somehow - is a film that's technically very well put together indeed. The acting is good, the story is ok if a bit too convoluted and the way they keep holding off on a big reveal a few times too many gets annoying.
But the actors in this one are properly acting for the most part, and the camerawork and editing is very very good.
8 "faaaahkin caaaahnts" out of 10.
