Doble espionaje

OMG when I saw the 2 headline stars, I thought this should at least be watchable. I don't think i've seen a bad movie that either have been in. Jeez was I disappointed. Where do we begin? The terrible plot with more holes that you can shake a stick at, terrible script, story that made no sense and terrible acting. Literally felt like an amateur 1st time director effort. The only redeeming factor was the fit "Assassin" Willa Fitzgerald, she reminded me a bit of the assassin in the FAR superior Luc Besson produced titular character "Anna" (Excellent movie) The Jeeps in the movie are also quite cool. I guess that both Scott and Sylvester needed the cash but surely not so bad to ruin their reputations on? Hope they are not going down the Bruce Willis/Nic Cage road of cash grab low budget low quality movies.

The ingredients are simple: lure some stars with synopsis to a project, but then put all of it in hands of bad writing, amateur direction, tons of nonsense and awful sfx, plot holes large as the local group of galaxies, drunk editing, absence of any coherence and attempts of acting (actually, what acting? True, some of the participants in this gave it a try but, alas, to no avail). Did you know that you can perform a large shootout (no one reloads even once) with a lot of explosions and noise in a relatively small town (they call it village), allegedly in Poland ("enemies" speak Russian, of course, and die like in John Wick, by dozens, being incompetent like kindergarten children), and no inhabitants even come to the window to see what happens? There's nobody anywhere near but "our heroes". The cherry on top of this mess is a strong hint on possible sequel, since this abruptly ends. God forbid! There are A movies, B movies, even C movies. At the bottom there are BS movies. This is a fine example. Two stars for skill of engaging Sly and Scott Eastwood. Were they blackmailed to participate? Nothing else could explain it. Run from this before it's too late.

Despite having Scott Eastwood and Stallone, this film is ponderous. Eastwood hardly seems enthusiastic, and really doesn't give the impression of having once been a top agent. Stallone is beginning to creak, and he struggles physically with this action picture, which should have been much tighter.

Mike Colter deserves a shout out. His villain is cold, calculating and murderousy believable, but he is wasted in this calamity. The shootouts are just not believable, Eastwood seems to be missable at every opportunity and during his first gunfight, he has a machine gun that never needs reloading!

Willa Fitzgerald holds it together rather well, but isn't able to rescue this mess.

Horrible!!! I bet even the director himself didn't watch this movie. If he had, he would've stopped it from being released. The script is a mess, the acting is amateurish, and the editing looks like it was done by someone who just discovered video software. The dialogue is cringeworthy, and the pacing makes it unbearable to sit through. Even a 12-year-old with a smartphone could create a better movie. This isn't just a bad film, it's an insult to cinema. Save yourself the time and avoid Alarum at all costs! And my final note to the director: Dear Michael please find yourself another job, this is the proof you are not for this job.

How can a movie production have all these good actors and still manage to make such a terrible movie. Directors do not get enough credit and this movie proves it. The acting is bad, the fight scenes are terrible you can see them waiting for one another to make a move with poor reactions to getting hit., the stunts are terrible. Maybe Stallone, Eastwood, and Colter owed someone new producer or director a favor? This movie should have a warning label letting viewers know they are going to be severely disappointed. It leaves you very curious as to why they would agree to participate in such a poorly conceived idea.
