You mean to tell me that that elite assassin group couldn’t manage to kill a 75 year old president. Fighting in Vietnam doesn’t give you superpowers

Samuel l Jackson goes on a 90 minute Universal ride, fires a Death Star laser, transforms the beast into an old Mercedes and then does call of duty finishing moves

Like an avant garde play inspired by The Purge. This is great honestly.
