Matthew D Michael Jai White is super cool, but this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Darryl S The fighting showed up that Michael Jai is not as good as he thinks he is. It is almost comedic and covered with cgi and poor editing. Matt Goss should be good, but I cannot take him seriously in this and the dialogue is embarrassing. Badly written, some terrible acting and poor direction. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Michelle H Who wrote this script? It is god awful. So much doesn’t make sense. Needless narration. Many plot holes. Bartender born and raised in Slovakia then moved to Romania but has no accent. An American spy driving around Romania in a Mustang with New York plates? Whatever happened with attention to details…certainly not the director or the writers. Did the actors need a payday or something? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review D H Wow... this movie is godawful. 3 minute set-up is OK but unremarkable. Then it just enters the first curve too hot, blasts through the guardrail and tumbles 1000 yards down a rocky embankment. 15 minutes in, I deemed it unwatchable. DNF And in that first 15 min you'll get treated to terrible acting/directing, wearisome dialogue and musical score choices that make zero sense. Production quality is third-rate. MJW deserves better vehicles. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review corkball All of these MMA type flicks are the same. Warmed over cheesy and predictable revenge plot, poor acting and production values. The lead isn't the worst actor on the planet... I mean for gosh sakes Arnold made his mark doing this kind of stuff, although admittedly in better vehicles. And the fight scenes are pretty good. But otherwise, this thing is like a mid tier Adkins flick. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Michael Jai White and Luke Gross star in the straight-to-video action-thriller The Hard Way. When his brother is killed in Romania investigating a local crime boss, John Payne picks up where he left off, intent on getting revenge. Both White and Gross do an excellent job handling the fight choreography, delivering some great moves. However, the plot is extremely formulaic and is full of the usually tropes and clichés; stripper girlfriends, hidden USB drives, secret identities, etc. And the low-budget shows in the scaled down cast and limited locations. Still, for what it is, The Hard way is an entertaining action film that delivers some thrills. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
