David M Very enjoyable and fun to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review S M It's pretty wild to see that this movie has a >80% critic and audience rating on RT. With all due respect to Brosnan and Baccarin, if they held a glass of water like they hold a Southern accent, neither one of them would ever drink a drop. It's shocking considering how liberally ADR is used, but less shocking when you hear how ham-handedly it's applied. It reminds me of movies like The Lawnmower Man, where the transition between live-action and CG scenes are clear and unmistakable. In TLM, that was with good reason given the technology available at the time. In this movie, the awful transitions between audio tracks don't make sense, as our technology for merging and matching audio is pretty amazing. In some respects, this has the ingredients to make a good dish. You've got mob intrigue, perfectly capable actors and crew, a spectacular setting. The pulp crime thriller genre offers many examples to crib from when budget is tight and time is short. I am a great proponent of the idea that constraints can be very beneficial to the eventual outcome of a project. However, reading that this movie was made in less than two months, one has to ask whether the people with the purse strings have the ability to reason at all. If you were thinking of watching this movie I would recommend that instead you just imagine "what if you made a good crime thriller starring Brosnan and Baccarin set in the South", raise a glass to James Caan, and call it a day. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Matthew T The film starts off with a quirky charm before slowing down to let you absorb the heart of its main character. Then, it cranks up the action, evolving into a solid revenge flick with a compelling crime drama edge. At times, the story meanders and could have fallen flat with a weaker cast. Fortunately, Pierce Brosnan and Morena Baccarin carry the film effortlessly, bringing genuine chemistry to their roles. The biggest letdown is the villains—forgettable and uninspired. The film seems aware of this shortcoming, wisely shifting the focus to its heroes, allowing them to shine in both creative, brutal action sequences and quieter, emotionally resonant moments. It’s clear that Fast Charlie is destined to come out on top, but the way it all unfolds holds some unexpected turns—if you’re paying attention, the clues are there. And that ending, pretty fun. Last and more importantly, its a bitter sweet sendoff for the legendary James Caan, making for one hell of a final act in his storied career. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Pongo K Talk, talk, talk, action,talk, talk. It's ok. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Charlie em Ação - Jogo de Assassinos Assistido: 28-12-24 Elenco: @piercebrosnanofficial @morenabaccarin James Caan (In Memory), Modelo: #assassino #ação #gangsters Duração: 1h 30m Ano: 2023 Minha opinião: Eu diria que este filme é um Classe B ou C. Apesar de termos Brosnan, Baccarin e Caan o filme realmente não da para ser classificado como A. “A” siguinifica, filme que blockbusters, é lançado nos cinemas, que teve significância. Acredito que é aquela fase de final carreira, não sei se Brosnan esta fazendo igual a Bruce Willis que pegava qualquer papel para ganhar o seu, sem se importar com a estória o roteiro. O filme se passa com Brosnan fazendo parte de gangsters quase todo seu bando foi executado, tanto que buscaram também executar Brosnan, mas ele executa eles. Brosnan vai atrás de pista e encontra com Morena que se torna sua parceira. Até descobrir que uma gang rival que estava fazendo todo este barulho, pois estavam atrás de um DVD que incrimina o chefe deles com um informante do FBI. Assim Brosnan se vinga de todos eles. E Vive feliz na Italia com a Morena. Roteiro e enredo fraco, vemos que não teve um grande investimento. Vale apena assistir? Só se for fã. Nota: 4 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Jerod S Brosnan is a good fixer - but Fast Charlie doesn't hold anything special in its arsenal. The woodcock eye death was cool. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
