Overall, Blowback is an obvious carbon copy of many films that most movie lovers have already seen, such as Payback from 1999 and offers a revenge tale with no new ingredients. The film's story is obvious and predictable; I found everything on-screen uninteresting and dull. This film builds towards a promising showdown but ends too quickly instead of giving viewers a decent dose of something that could have felt fresh or more entertaining. Along with an unfitting and distracting soundtrack, continuity errors can also be found here. I wish I could say something more positive here, but I truly struggled with this release, and I couldn't wait for the credits to appear on the screen.

Blowback is built on a man willing to dip back into a life of crime to pay for his daughter's treatment. Cam Gigandet holds his own - but the rest of the cast delivers flat lines as they double-cross each other and try to get away with the spoils of their crime.

The worst directing I've seen in a long time. How can Tibor Takacs, a seasoned director with almost 50 directing credits, give us this type of nonsense? For starters, he failed miserably in directing his cast. Most held their own, considering, but many needed casting direction to show some emotions in their dialogue or facial expressions in most of the scenes. Michele Plaia's acting was stale and unconvincing, but a good director can easily direct even an amateur 5 year old actor with ease, so that's all on him. Takas also dragged out too many scenes, and failed with his slow pacing, that the normally 93 min runtime felt much longer. Then you have four writers giving us a cliched screenplay, with some cringeworthy scenes, especially the dialogue in the meet-up at the casino at the very end. Even the Italian mobsters were hilariously over-cliched with some very cheesy dialogue. A fifth grade drama class could've come up with better dialogue. It's too bad, because although not revolutionary, the story had some great ideas. Aside from all that, you have your typical B film score - loud and overbearing, but surprisingly the cinematography wasn't too bad. If you're a fan of Louis Mandylor, Randy Couture or Cam Gigandet, you may still enjoy this - if there's nothing else to watch. For me, it's a generous 5/10.

Great acting. Would have loved to see more character development. Especially scenes with Randy Couture and Michele Plaia.

[T]he screenplay for Blowback entirely consists of plot and little to nothing else.

Lyles' Movie Files

Blowback had a simple assignment — add another acceptable action film onto the endless heap of B-movies. Somehow it stumbles on that low hurdle resulting in one of the year’s weakest offerings in the genre.

Rated: 4/10

Cinema Crazed

It has some good ideas, some new ideas, and a bit of run-of-the-mill ideas. It’s entertaining, so the small issues with the seen-before aspect of the film are not really a problem in the long run.

Rated: 3/5

The leads aren’t bad, but this script is fatally flawed and you’d hope they’d notice that before the camera rolls.
