Lucas T I came into this movie hoping to get an campy yet enjoyable police-military type of film. The result? In terms of campy fun movies to watch because you're craving something that might be fun, this film barely reaches the bar. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/03/22 Full Review Audience Member Horrible Action film. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. Dull action and lame plot that would not even entertain WWE fans. This movie looks like it was made on a $100 budget. Abysmal, avoid at all costs. 1/5 Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review steve d Nothing new and most of the actors can't act. Katharine Isabelle keeps it afloat. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Countdown is another low-budget action film with WWE wrestlers trying to make it big in the film world. The acting is awful. Cringe worthy in places. The movie has some action but nothing too spectacular. The plot is predictable with clichés abound. It’s pretty much exactly what you would expect.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/19 Full Review Audience Member Strengths: Sometimes, movies become cult hits because they're so ridiculous that it becomes enjoyable. Part of this movie was nearing that level. The scene where Dolph Ziggler (Ray Thompson) makes an exchange with the villain at a WWE event is hilariously wild. He literally gets shoulder blocked by Rusev, who holds a gun on him. That's not Rusev acting as someone else. He's playing his WWE self and points a gun at a cop, only to get superkicked. It's so absurd that it works and is the highlight of the movie. Had the entire movie taken place at the WWE show, with Dolph trying to find the kid, while wrestlers are around, it would've worked better. Weaknesses: This is a generic action flick. The plot is bland and nothing new, the writing is mediocre at best, and the dialogue is cheesy in a bad way. Ziggler isn't a strong actor, Kane (Lieutenant Frank Cronin) isn't much better, and even the non-WWE actor, Katharine Isabelle (Lieutenant Julia Baker) doesn't do much to stand out. She's as wildly average as everyone else. I think the film needed to not take itself so seriously. If they went a less grounded route and kept it entertaining, it would've worked better. Instead, they played it safe and just did something generic. Also, Josh Blacker (Detective Al Kendricks) is so over the top as an ass that you can't buy anything he's doing. Nobody acts like that.
