Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A cut-rate Die Hard. Rated: 1/5 Jan 29, 2021 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Problems abound here. There are so many holes in this film that there are actually more holes than coherent story. Then there is the acting which by calling it wooden would actually be an overstatement. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2021 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider This is not a great movie by any measure. Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Ronak Kotecha The Times of India The lack of technical finesse and a bland background score further contribute in making The 2nd a boring affair.

Peo C Saw the movie pop-up in Prime so I though why not. The story is ok, not great. But the acting is what makes this movie really bad and the fact that I made a account to tell you guys about it probably says enough. Vic Davis (Ryan Phillippe)(Shooter-good/The Lincoln lawyer-great) and Driver (Casper van Dien)(Starship Troopers-Cult Classic) are not bad actors, But how this movie is made gives the vibe that all scenes were done in one take. The audio is crap and in the fight scene's it's clearly done with (audio) after effects. I mean: How is it that when the hood of a car is burning you hear the sound of a hearth fire. (obviously wood) Man burning clearly covered with gel. Man get's shot and flies 6 feet in the air and the next guy drops down like he got hit by a baseball. Normally you watch a movie and think great/good/fine but you will see the f-ups when you see it for the second time. In this one you will think within 15 minutes "am I wasting my time?" With double the budget and a director how wants quality, this could have been a good, maybe great movie (some tweaks in the script needed to be honest). Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Luis Fernando B That movie is a whole mess. Seeing it, one would líke that, even, the director were killed. Everything in this film is wrong. The fight scenes and the shoot-outs are so fake that the first thing that came to our mind, watching them, were the memories of childhood, when we played war in our backyard. Terrible movie, Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Daniel R Thought Ryan was pretty good Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Claudia L This is the worst movie I've ever seen. Don't waist your time nor money. Really bad script, acting, effects, cinematography, actors, and the worst their lips were no synchronized with the sound. They should pay me to watch this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Tom Z The movie was so bad I wrote this while watching the movie. So horrible. The action was so fake and the words politically charged ruining the story. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review Lon A It's not so bad. Lots of action and not badly acted. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
