Watching it now. Juggling ball syndrome, where they have to service every character's back story and soap opera "issues" one at a time. I don't care about the main dude's child custody shit. I don't care about the cholo dude's family and reprobate brother. I came for carnage and world destruction. For fuck sakes get on with it.

That which doesn't kill you weakens you slightly and makes you less able to cope until you're completely incapacitated
