He’s Baaack! And an ULTIMATE Badass in this film. Oh…you don’t know about Keanu Reeves? Well, he starred in Point Break, The Matrix Trilogy, 47 Ronin, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (yep – I went there!). You better pick up a mag and read up!!
I was a little confused in the beginning. I was trying to understand the first fifteen minutes – I mean it is kind of slow. Then…BOOM!!!

*spoiler*
Viggo: You struck my son
Aurelio: Yes. He stole John’s car and killed his dog
Viggo: Oh.

Best line in the movie to me…okay. There were several. The sarcasm in the film is phenomenal (if you have the sense of humor of course). My seat was getting some serious shifting action. I was on the edge. I was loving the stash of hand guns, flash bangs, rifles and well choreographed fight scenes (because you really can’t do fight scenes like that in real life). The action was awesome and you can relate to his character. Well, wait. Yes. You can, totally. Apparently, CODE and PRINCIPAL is important in the world of Hitmen (and Hitwomen – is that even…?).
They called him The Boogeyman, Russian folklore (according to the film).

In the least, there was a bad ass chick in the film too. Adrianne Palicki plays Ms. Perkins. Devious, conniving ass kicker, it was like looking at a younger version of Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.
Willem Dafoe was the cool and precise Marcus. There is some sniper activity that happens in this film. I was excited.
Michael Nyqvist surpassed his role as Viggo, the “Father” Who has no qualm about putting a contract out on you, no matter what. Old School Russian Mafia man.
Alfie Allen plays Iosef, an “entitled” brat who basically gets his ass kicked and coddled. A brat with daddy issues from my view. Some people’s children, seriously.

I think the it ended a bit weird and I was not alone on that one.
If this was Keanu’s come back film (I loved him in Constantine!) then this is a good one to come back to. Word on the street is that he may be coming to TV…we’ll see!!

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
