But I think this is a very masculine story, and it's something about how they navigate.

I mean, I, I will say I really enjoyed this, but I didn't feel like I got as much from the female characters.

Um, I felt quite a separation from that.

I didn't really rec- not recognize them, but I felt like there wasn't enough there the way that they really embody from an assassin to a kind of aging, like, mobster.

Um, so many scenes in it feel sort of like rehashing some of the kind of action set pieces we've seen before.

Um, it certainly...
