Phil Hoad Guardian The nested narratives sap the relentless forward momentum needed, and the individual flashbacks are not compelling enough set-pieces on either the action or character front. Rated: 2/5 Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Has some narrative flaws and at times struggles to overcome its budgetary limitations but is an entertaining enough film. Rated: 7/10 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com “Dark Asset” opens as a traditional bruiser but wants to conclude as a brain-bleeder, and Winnick doesn’t have the budget, cast, or directorial ability to pull off this kind of involving mystery. Rated: D Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The minimal action is unremarkable, Mann and Mattson have no chemistry, and Robert Patrick looks justifiably embarrassed to be there. Rated: C- Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Cristian s Simple, concreta y genérica. Una película de accion barata con elementos de ciencia ficción que logra funcionar no porque su historia esta buena sino por la forma desorganizada en la que esta narrada y logra mantener el interés hasta el ultimo segundo. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Tina H That's 1hr 30mins of my life I won't get back. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Martin 7 I watched the movie Dark Assist via Pathe Home and paid 5 euros for it... It seems to be a film from 2022, but they pretend it was from 2024. However, the film's script is very poorly constructed... The fight scene is decent, but the overall plot is predictable and poorly acted... I fell asleep, and that says enough... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Harris R A man walks into a bar and sees this beautiful blonde, and begins to tell her a dull, slow, cliched and predictable story. The end. And the only reason I went past the half-way mark without falling asleep, is because of the beautiful blonde at the bar. Helena Mattsson was the only good part in this mess - the only convincing actor and the only one easy on the eyes. Everything and everyone else should've just stayed home and skip this underwhelming and dull nonsense. Producer, co-writer and director Michael Winnick needs to find a new hobby, because after so many previous flop films and he still hasn't learned how to make an even somewhat engaging film, it's time to call it quits. The writing was laughable - something you'd expect from a fifth grade drama class, and the directing was even worse, with constant re-use of previous scenes as flashbacks, terrible action (what little there was) choreography, and cast that was more annoying than entertaining, especially Byron Mann and that annoying smirk. I can't even say this belongs at the bottom of the basement bargain B-film bin, it would be an insult to all the better ones than this nonsense. It's a generous 3/10, all for the lovely Mattsson who was the only reason I kept watching until the end. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
