Those set pieces, though — hoo boy. The director, Ángel Manuel Soto, seems intent on redeeming himself after the maligned “Blue Beetle,” and he applies himself to the action with uncommon energy and invention. An early fight in which Momoa, caught at home unawares, fends off knife-wielding Yakuza henchmen in his bathrobe, is a master class in close-quarters stunt choreography, while a highway chase involving a minivan and a helicopter is more delightfully over-the-top than anything in the past half-dozen “Fast and Furious” installments. Cars explode, grenades go off and limbs are separated from bodies; and it almost all has an old-school heft to it that shows care for the craft. Soto even pays tribute to the famous side-scrolling hallway fight from “Oldboy,” which would be sacrilege if it weren’t done with such élan.
