POSITIVES…
Enjoyed “Hardcore Henry” like I did, and want something else like it? Well this is similar to that, in that it’s a first person perspective movie. So the uniqueness of this filmmaking style is an experience you don’t normally get. There’s that.
The convoluted rabbit-hole of a plot might interest you enough to want to see through the whole story.
NEGATIVES…
This is nowhere near the quality of fun that Hardcore Henry offers, and does not really justify the first person perspective gimmick.
Bills itself as an action-comedy, but there’s hardly any action, and the attempts at comedy just falls flat on its face.
Tries real hard to be clever, with it’s quirky dialogue, jargon, flippant humor, random situations, and over thought world building, but nothing really sticks it’s landing.
Banter and bickering does not always equal entertainment!!!
Felt like solid actors like Greg Grunberg, Salvator Xuereb, Adrienne Wilkinson, Matt Bushell, and Eddie Jemison, are just doing this movie a favor by being in it. What a waste of talent.
You can only go so far having a joke that two cop characters are named Smythe and Wesson. Oh, and a lead character nicknamed “Five.” Really?
P.S….
