Format

[edit]

The plot section does not really seem to be in the proper format, it only covers the first 5 minutes of the film and spends way too much on such a otherwise small part of the film. 2610:130:112:800:2D52:B916:2EA4:C27A (talk) 00:33, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved, opposition cited WP:Recentism for the current "primary topic"-looking page. While support comments were elaborated, it seems clear that there is no consensus at this time (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk) 00:31, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


– The 2016 film is already more notable than either of the other two topics. In fact, it has been since a year and a half ago, when it was still in pre-production.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 00:00, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Run-on sentence

[edit]

In the second to last paragraph of the lead: "The hitman confronts Christian and reveals himself to be Braxton, who estranged himself from Christian and blames him for their father's death due to Christian not contacting Braxton for his approval on going to their birth mother's funeral because of Braxton's hatred towards her for leaving them.", might be a little long. Try reading the rest of the sentence after the comma in one breath. Make it a deep one. Otr500 (talk) 10:22, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a run-on sentence, which entails more than one main verb or clause running on without suitable punctuation or conjunction(s), and can be very short, eg: "The hitman confronts Christian reveals himself to be Braxton estranged himself."
It's just long-winded, although impressively sound in its syntax. Whoever wrote it should consider taking up urban downhill mountain biking. JohndanR (talk) 19:34, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Based on a true story

[edit]

It is said to be "based on a true story". Can someone cite a source ?GeoffAvogadro (talk) 23:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Autism controversy from a non autistic person

[edit]

Some clinician says it's offensive. The autism community doesn't. That part needs to go. Pjmcguirk85 (talk) 22:37, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - the criticism should be based on particular concerns about unrealistic, inaccurate or insensitive portrayals of autistic persons. The presence of guns in a violent action movie with an autistic protagonist seems to be a personal, aesthetic reaction rather then anything based on harms the portrayal could do to autistic persons. 2604:3D08:B278:4500:505B:4066:3897:6CE3 (talk) 05:53, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
