Academy Award® nominee Sylvester Stallone, Scott Eastwood, Mike Colter, and Willa Fitzgerald star in this explosive action-thriller about two married spies caught in the crosshairs of an international intelligence network that will stop at nothing to obtain a critical asset. Joe (Scott Eastwood) and Lara (Willa Fitzgerald) are agents living off the grid whose quiet retreat at a winter resort is blown to shreds when members of the old guard suspect the two may have joined an elite team of rogue spies, known as ALARUM.

Critics Consensus

Alarum is nothing less than a lackluster spy thriller with uninspired performances, pedestrian action, and a convoluted but banal plot.

A film so bad it shames American cinema itself. And it wasn’t even made in Hollywood!

Michael Polish’s film gamely tries to compensate for unspectacular production values with a lot of action -- but its staging is pedestrian at best.

[Stallone's] work here makes his appearance in “The Expendables 4” seem focused and committed by comparison.

It's not unwatchable, but all rather dispiriting.

A forgettable B-film spy story.

Creatively bankrupt on every level, Alarum is a mindless mess of an action film that goes through the motions until its very lazy and abrupt ending. The performances are never believable in this moronic story about spies fighting over a flash drive.

I was susceptible, but the the lethargic jeep crash scene in the forest did it for me.

I cannot understand what this movie is about. Sylvester Stallone should already be retired at this stage in his career. Why does he have to make this inane movies?

Well, just as with all Bruce Willis movies of the last 20 years, when this face, Sylvester Stallone's, pops up, one generally knows that the movie is crap. And well, the same goes for this one. I didn't even manage to watch beyond the 15th minute before I stopped as it is beyond bad. 1/10 points!!!

Story is boring and full of plot holes. CGI is noticeably bad. The muzzle flashes, blood splatters and bullet hits look like they where taken out of an asset pack and layered on top of the footage without being properly blended. Something you'd see in an early 2000s YouTube video. Real amateur. It's watchable but you'll wish you didn't bother by the end. I'm starting to think I shouldn't expect a movie to be good just because Stallone is in it. I don't think he has any more to give. Maybe he should just retire before he tarnishes his reputation further.

This film is so dumb and lazy. Here's an example, for no reason Stallone shoots a electric poll to shut out the lights in the hotel he and Eastwood are holed up in. Cut to the bad guys outside and the lights are still on everywhere. This lack of attention to detail exists throughout the film, including in the writing.

Stellar cast in a somewhat hollow movie. Lots of bullets, blood, "action", adventure, drama, more drama, brave attempt but not very convincing. Good cinematography, the visual effects are not plausible though. Such a talented cast and production resources but somehow squandered to produce a somewhat mediocre movie
