“(Karan Soni, star of Sethi’s “ A Nice Indian Boy, ” has an amusing voice cameo as the State Farm agent responsible for insuring each of Eliza’s hands).”
““The Surgeon” never finds a clean groove for itself, and the movie falls apart like bad stitchwork whenever it slows down long enough for the audience to offer a second opinion (or even to ask themselves why Freeman’s gang is so intent on killing Eliza, though I suppose a mobster without someone to hurt is as lost as a surgeon without someone to heal), but every time Yeoh doctors someone to death, it’s enough to make the whole audience groan in delight.”
