There is shockingly bad dialogue and a lot of extras waiting to fall over dead as Eckhart’s killer for hire finds all is not what it seems.

Rated: 2/5

Unfortunately, this film has too many problems to warrant a recommendation.

Classified is a film that feels like it had no ambitions, no goal beyond “making a film”. There is a story, it’s on the screen, but that is about all there is to say about it.

Cinemalogue

Solid portrayals and scenic visual backdrops can’t save this derivative thriller, in which some character-driven intrigue is overwhelmed by generic action and nondescript villains.

Ultimately, Classified plays out like the body GPS Shaw is equipped with by his handlers. It works well in the beginning, and it is fun to watch him go through the motions, but once he goes off-mission, things go sideways, never to recover.

A slew of action thriller clichés, logy fight choreography, dull pew-pew shootouts and a miscast Abigail Breslin.

Rated: 2/5

Hands down, the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time. It’s so unbelievably bad that it unintentionally becomes a comedy.

I love my action movies however this was done badly. Nothing is really believable, terrible story line, pointless pursuit.

What kind of director thinks guards just run out in front of people to be shot dead. Where did they find this director? Temu. One of the worst movies I have seen for acting, dialogue and storyline. Just plain pathetically awful. Can recommend herpes more. Hell go get diabetes for a better time.

I had to stop watching—it was just too much. The inconsistencies and poor continuity editing were unbearable, and the dialogue didn’t help either. Take the hotel scene in New York. The interaction between the main character and the receptionist was so off. She didn’t give him a key, didn’t welcome him, and didn’t even tell him where his room was. Then, when he checks into his room, he closes the blinds, but in the next scene, they’re mysteriously wide open. He lands in Italy in a helicopter, which seems ridiculous in itself. And when he’s fighting with the girl in the hotel, he hits her, and the gun falls away. But in the next scene, he’s suddenly on top of her, pointing the gun at her. In Malta, he talks to his handler on the phone, who then calls the other contractors, saying he’s on his way to Malta. But why is the handler telling them this? He just spoke to him in Malta. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I had to stop watching there

The director needs to go back to film school. What is with all the background music can't hear the dialogue? Seems a very budget film and is total junk. Wasted 1hr trying to watch this and it just got un bearable with the constant drone of background audio. Had to switch it off!
