Rebecca S The trailer was essentially made of the best parts of the movie ...unfortunately cringe worthy frathouse dialogue between the male protagonists and lots of meaningless blabla to fill the holes...some of the scenes remind me of other (lots better) action movies...especially the last scene: his confrontation with Tamara: sth. like youl get close and personal and look him/her in the eye....anyone else reminded of The Fast and the Furious part 8: Vin Diesel before he kills Cyphers lapdog? As usual good Martial Arts from Adkins - therefore 2 stars. But overall not worth the time. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Mister T I've always been a fan of Adkins and felt he deserved lead roles in action movies instead of always being supporting cast, and in this movie, he finally got that. But as usual, he's always in these B movies and usually with newb filmmakers, as is the case here. He did however carry the film, along with the rest of the cast that did their best with the terrible material they had to work with. This movie is stuntman turned newb director Nick McKinless' first full length feature film, and I have to say, he did not disappoint - especially considering the terrible screenplay he had to work with. He directed this movie and his cast very well to the point he seemed like a seasoned director. Camera shots, action scenes and choreography were impressive, and he should be proud of his achievements. I feel McKinless has found his calling as a director. However, where this movie failed miserably is in newb writer Joshua Todd James' terrible screenplay, that had the most pointless and cringeworthy dialogue I've ever heard. It's as if it was written by a bunch of high school drama class teenagers - riddled with annoying cuss words and frat-house back and forth bromance "my d*ick is bigger than yours" type dialogue. Then in between that, it was constant blah blah blahhh cringe dialogue that was mostly filler and did nothing to progress the narrative. This movie was literally the most boring and pointless sniper action movie I've seen. From the entire middle act and on where they were hiding behind the sofas, was just nonsense conversation riddled with cliches, tedious exposition, shallow characterization and pointless dialogue. Even with the very short 80 min runtime (not counting all the opening and closing credits), the entire movie felt like it dragged on for over 2 hours. There just wasn't enough substance in this screenplay to be a full length movie, and would've been much more enjoyable as a short film. Never mind that the little substance there was, was riddled with plot holes and cliched parts taken from every other "one last job" movie out there. Nevertheless, Adkins shined in this one, and it's too bad he spent most of his screen time blabbing nonsense instead of showcasing his action and fighting skills more than the barely five minutes he was given. It's a generous 5/10 from me. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Qmnt B When you take cover, you think more. The movie is very thought-provoking, relaxing, smooth and easy to understand. The acting is very natural and relaxed so that you can really be in tune with the characters. The transition between action and non-a ction scene is balanced to keep your mind balanced and keep your attention. Watching this movie, you may think deeply about the theme of hiding and other themes, including morality. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
