So this is somehow up in HD on the illegal streaming websites so I'm 20 minutes in, I have to say Bob Odenkirk looks so much younger when he dyes his hair brown. In real life he let his hair go gray for awhile and I swear it ages him by 20 years.

In this movie he has brown hair and can pass for late 40's/early 50's even though he's 62 in real life. Crazy how much a hair dye can hide your age.

It's more than dye. Odenkirk is pretty bald now so they give him a hairpiece in this and the first one.

I see. I forgot he was balding. I finished the movie, there were some fun Mortal Kombat style fatalities in this movie, but overall it was nothing special. I didn't even understand the plot, it just felt like Bob Odenkirk's character was just attacking anyone who bothered him or his family. And then that woman owned all the hitman in the casino or something...? Eh who cares.

Christopher Lloyd really does look like he's basically on his last breath. He's been old since 1985, so it feels like he's been ancient for four decades now! But now at 86 years old you can tell he's in his last years, I hope he makes it to 90 at least.

Like when you see him in the court and in jail at the end of Better Call Saul... that's how he really looks now.

The plot was fairly simple. What I didn't understand was two things:

* The big thing about he owes 30 million dollars or he's stuck doing jobs to pay it off. It's brought up in the beginning as this huge weight around his shoulders but then it's never really addressed again. I thought for sure that money in the town was going to go to his debt but he burns it all in like the second act.

* The wolf dog. It's teased early on so I was figuring it'd be a big part of some "trap" or something later on for bad guys. Then Odenkirk releases it near the end and it doesn't really do much of anything. You kind of hear it maybe biting somebody off-camera, but that's it?

Most of the movie he's sitting down or just standing there smiling looking a little out of it, and always with sunglasses except for one shot near the end when he's "hurt." They sort of did him like Chuck Norris in Expendables 3... just up there snipering people, probably not even on set with everybody else but shot on another night probably in his town.
