The Hero

It was an eye opening experience that a big budget hollywood action movie like movie can now be made for less, saw it at IFFI 2019 Goa Film Festival as country feature inauguration, country of focus Russia. I loved it at the very curtains down based on the slickness and newness and individuality of the logos and animations before the movie itself, shows that hollywood is not limited to us and uk alone. The father character is very menorable and acting by the lead actors very good, stunts and action as good if not better at times than the regular big budget hollywood movies. It does show that filmmakers around the world can produce better than hollywood in other places now.

The description of the film was. "Agent Action in the footsteps of the Jasen Bourne series", by the way. Under no circumstances can it get there. Little action, funny story.

Mission Impossible but with the worst writing. While I was watching this movie I had feeling that I'm wasting my time and in the end this feeling came true. Don't watch this movie. Instead you can go and watch some Adam Sandler movie 'cause they are less dumb and annoying.

First, the good: some of the scenery and photography was very nice. That's about it. Everything else was pretty bad. The entire plot was super weak and almost felt made up as you went along. The dialog was terrible. The English dubbing wasn't great, but I don't think improving the delivery could make up for the conic book like dialog. A lot of the scenery and quality of the visuals were good, but then even that was ruined by too much scene chopping and utterly annoying tendency to shoot at random angles for no reason. I did consider just bailing after 15 minutes, but couldn't help but keep watching just to see if the entire movie could really be so bad. The answer is yes.

I couldn't help but think that this film is an attempt to cram as many cringey cliches (which even Hollywood has long since abandoned) into one production as possible. The movie just feels like a parody, where everything is said and done just for the sake of recreating what you once saw in another, better film.

The editing is outright nauseating - just pay attention to the amount of cuts in any scene.

While the CGI is terrible (just look at the skydiving scene with the pasted-in faces), thankfully there's not too much of it.

The music is nice at times, but leaves you absolutely exhausted as it NEVER stops. Not for one solid minute. One of the numerous strange choices in this film.

This movie's biggest problem is probably its writing. You keep asking yourself "Who is this?" There are like 5 attractive young women with a ponytail who look identical in this film.

Everything is all over the place.
