Good god where to start well I couldn't even make it to the end of the moive

But let's start off with the nicknames they are given (wouldn't normally say this sort of thing about actresses but you opened the doors with the crazy hot naming) the names for them make no sense unless this film was meant to be a parody "crazy hot" well she just isn't (two of the others are more attractive), the "wanting star" appears to already be an actress in the film and some how acted better when pretending to be one in the film. Then a few minutes in they get on the plane which is the most hard to watch thing I have ever seen first off they have extremely cringe door opening sounds also from one angle it shows lights coming through the plane windows then the other it is dark (can see / that it's a sort of mdf wall) the cgi of the plane looks like it's more at home on the average YouTube video. The acting is we'll just flat out wooden and bad script writing to the point that the main characters appear to be asking out loud questions the viewers are meant to be asking themselves. My summary of this film would be bad acting, bad and uneventful script. Recommend to avoid and watch almost anything else.

From the synopsis, I thought that this might be a little fun movie to while away the time, I was right. It was nice to see Isabelle Fuhrman (Ezra) being all feminine and sexy, especially after I had recently seen her in La huérfana: primer asesinato (2022). Wallis Day (Ryder) played the part of the fighter, but was portrayed to look like Wallis Day in Los ángeles de Charlie (2019), but that was in my opinion. Sasha Luss (Diamond) played the part well enough, but I couldn't take to her character. Skai Jackson (Daisy) was just the helpless love interest that needed to be rescued.

With a relatively small budget (around $20 million), I think that the movie was done well enough. A bigger budget would have produced a much better experience, but it is what is. Some acting is rubbish and is definitely a B level performance. The writing, it's easy to see where some of the inspiration came from, just didn't have the budget to produce it for the screen.

Don't expect big budget effects and polish, and you will probably enjoy it. I would recommend this.

Holy moly is this bad.

In chronological order of awfulness. It has Terrible cgi

The dialogue, script and plot are childish. Some of the Borrowed dialogue from Taken is cringe.

Unlikeable characters, make that every character in the movie are awful, stereotypical and wooden.

I could go on with the Bad dialogue, the Terrible acting, The Flawed logic involved in the plot, eg, the sniper rifle just hanging around, is laughable.

Jordan Gertner who wrote and directed this is, ahem, famous for bringing us the awful Spring Breakers and the equally risible London Fields. I'm not kidding this is Showgirls bad.

So this movie open up with 4 party goer young ladies on a vacation in Thailand. Something goes wrong and one of them is captured and they have to save her.

On paper it looks like a funny action comedy ... the problem is... its neither.

Never the movie really try to be funny. There is some back and forth between the main characters that may pull half a smile out of you but thats it. How about action? Nope. There is barely any.

The movie has maybe like 10 minutes of poorly filmed gun fights and 1 barely decent hand to hand action sequence. Thats all.

This movie is a receipy for disaster at first glance but somehow ... i can't totally trash it. The 4 main actresses are somewhat charismatic enough to make me go along the very uninteresting and completely ridiculous story.

They act well enough and have some personality so you kinda get invested a bit into them. That said the story is REALLY dumb. Like some guys said it would had work as a VERY self aware action comedy, like really going for nonsense and nothing serious but the movie try to be serious for the whole thing.

I want to keep this spoiler free so nothing specific but it borrow some cliché from action movies where you supose to be thinking its an hommage or be funny but it lead to nothing really. Not even a chuckle.

Even the key plot point make no sense as a serious movie. Its not a spoiler as its in the trailer but one of them get captured and this is basically a rescue mission. Ok fine. But why the big bad drug cartel vilains didn't capture all 4 of them? Why 1???

This is the kind of nonsense we could overlook in a very funny comedy but like i said this is not it... Its not meant to be funny. Its meant to be serious.

Also maybe the less important thing but beside the expensive car and luxury villa, the movie must had the budget of a cinema school because they even CGI (Playstation 2 type of graphics) a plane in air. Like litterally Star Wars miniatures from 1977 look more real.

Overall this movie is a dumpster fire. There is nothing redeemable in the script or cinematography. BUT Sasha Luss, Wallis Day and the 2 other actresses have SOME chemistry on screen and act well with the material given... so they kinda made me forget at time what kinda bad movie i was watching.

That said, do i ever wanna watch this movie again? No. I wanna see these actresses in better project tough. Im being ULTRA generous with a 4 out of 10 (or 2 stars if you on Letterboxd) because despite it all the movie is rather short and i kinda wanted to see how it ended... so it did manage to get SOME of my attention (i did looked at my cell and answered a few messengers twice tough).

This movie gotta be one of the worst movies I've seen this year, and I watch Lifetime movies for fun. I don't know who thought this movie was a good idea. Did the people filming this movie think it was a good idea too? There's no way people weren't actually on drugs during production. ($20 million budget) There's Skai Jackson with an RPG, the creepy girl from Orphan doing a lap dance, Batwoman with a Streetfighter reference, and COD-style montage footage. None of it was good and it is as fever dreamish as it sounds. The acting felt like everyone knew it was bs and a cash grab except for one individual. She wasn't good, in fact, her acting was atrocious, it was like watching a skinwalker learn to be human and talk in English with Jim Carrey's mask on. 2/10.
