Our take
Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista play estranged half-brothers investigating their father's death in Hawaii. Rated MA 15+ for strong bloody violence, sexual material, pervasive language and some drug use. A loud action comedy with dismemberment, cocaine, heavy drinking, casino scenes and penis-shaped prop jokes. Profanity is near-constant. Grief over the father motivates the plot, though the tone stays jokey. Adults only; even mature teens will find the language and gore excessive.

Brotherly reconciliation is the arc, though violence dominates
Story (may spoil tone)
