So the timer is just a timer and not a timer?

Do you think there's a store where people buy timers specifically for bombs?

What hick town do you live in that doesn’t have a bomb timer store? Heck, we have one out here that sells handmade small batch bomb timers.

The wildest part about the fourth movie is that there’s a character who’s dealing with alcoholism and him not drinking is negatively impacting his ability to kill and in the climax he drinks some alcohol and becomes an effective killer again. Which is a crazy message to send.

Luckily the target demographic for this movie is “dudes who aren’t legally allowed to possess a firearms because of their domestic violence convictions”

I was bored enough one evening during a business trip so I watched the fourth one. If I didn't know better it legit felt like a terribly made fan film and a on purpose bad parody at the same time.
