Is it kino?

So what's the deal with the underground waiter fight club? Was he supposed to kick that guys ass but refused to fight? Or does he just get paid to take a beating? Scene was pretty retarded and out of place for an otherwise kino movie.

Willies Wonderland and that one where he steals the baby.

Yes. The dinner scene with the other chef is extremely kino.

Yeah that was awesome. Do you think he opened his pub afterwards?

He gets paid to get the shit beat out of him. Cage's character was a notorious asshole chef so restaurant staff pay big money to beat him up.

It was to show that his name a reputation still means so much, that people lined up to get a piece of him.
It was just done in a really artistic and allegorical way. The whole film is an allegory. So I don't see anything retarded in that. It also might have been a jab towards John Wick. With its underground assassination society.

Probably not. He makes too much money at his pretentious place.

Ohhhh I see that makes sense I feel like a brainlet.

it's above average, but it ain't kino, user.

I feel it wasn't very clear that's what was going on though. I couldn't tell if he was supposed to be fighting back or not. Why would a chef ever be so hard up they needed to get their ass kicked for a busboys spare change? So the guy running it just takes a cut of the action but Cage wanted info on his pig in exchange for all the cash?

this, he peaked too soon

All I wanted was to see Cage go on a rampage. I did NOT want a character study on the effects of grief and the restorative power of food.
