Red clasificada

In short, f-grade acting, f-grade dialog and the whole thing looks like it was filmed on a Samsung S9+ and then color graded with a potato. Seriously, a random, free LUT from the Internet slapped on everything.

Drone spots seem to be done with a DJI Air, main lighting dive with a subtle Aputure without bounce or softbox.

Also, the entire island of Malta seems to be devoid of other people or bystanders. Rooms are also very very foggy. Shootout scenes take place within a 10m radius and were filmed with compression ratio 200:1, with weird purple smoke explosions.

Elementary school students would have done a better job with their iPhones and some flower on a rainy afternoon on a Sunday.

Can't believe they dragged Aaron Eckhart into this.

I think this is the worst movie I've ever seen, honestly that bad. Everything's bad, the script, characters, fight scenes, never ending shoot scenes... the bad guy with an awful haircut talking like a machine (it could be for all I know).

Aaron Eckhart used to be a great actor but now got stuck in useless action b-movies, not sure what he can do about it anymore. Abigail Breslin is unrecognisable and totally miscast (MI6 agent speaking with an American accent and no one questioning it among many other flaws as a character).

Save yourself and skip this one.

Tim Roth, I hope you've been well compensated.

I love Tim Roth and Aaron Eckhart USED to be a reliable choice for an entertaining film. Every actor, no matter how successfull, manages to be in bad films. Usually they still manage to be decent even if everything around them is terrible.

Unfortunately, when you have a bad script, there's not much you can do. It's even worse when you're saddled with a really bad and unconvincing performance from a main actor. That's what you get here. I really hate bashing anyone for their acting skills, but the actor playing his "daughter" was absolutely terrible! It was a cringe-worthy effort on her part. I had mental images of Eckhart thinking to himself "WTF" everytime she was on screen.

Roth looked like he signed on for an easy three-day assignment and a paycheck... he was barely there. He tried with what they gave him, but there was really nothing to work with.

It was terrible, absolutely no redeeming qualities... even if you're a massive Roth or Eckhart fan.

The plot (if you actually consider it such) has holes big enough to sail an oil tanker through. A top notch hitman goes off course and is not in the slightest interested how his boss can call him on a payphone next to him?

The action sequences are numerous, but absolutely unrealistic. Bad guys with machine guns can't hit stationary targets, but the good guy is able to use a shotgun like a sniper rifle?

I have seen better character development in B class porn flicks. How they got Eckart and Roth to participate in such drivel is beyond me.

If i could give this movie a minus score i would gladly do so.

A plotline that's been done many times before and with far greater success. Classified zigzags from ridiculous to wooden without warning. The abject quality of the dialogue is only matched by its delivery, and in the movies dullest and cringiest moments, you can almost see Aaron Eckhart thinking that he hopes the cheque clears. Nothing about this movie is believable, from the backstory to relationships between the main characters. Poor casting, poor dialogue and poor audience. I would say this movie is bottom of the barrel, but that would imply that it's contained in some way. Looking at previous work from the director and the main actors I am surprised that any of them even signed up for this. If you literally have nothing else to do, and that includes going to the dentist or housework, then watch this movie.
