Just finished watching Beekeeper. Am I the only one to think the end of the movie was pretty much a ripoff of Terminal List?? (programming.dev)

I wasn't very impressed with the rest of the movie either. It was too Baba Yaga and unbelievable to me. What did you think?

I get this with a lot of "no brain action films" these days. It kind of feels like everyone is trying to copy John wick and unbelievable things. Really turns me off at this point. Have not seen beekeeper but have seen terminal list.

Indian movies have been doing this for 30 years now, so even John Wick wasn't novel to me, but at least it had a whole fictional world to go with it, and the stunts were great and he took a lot of beatings making it believable.
