Jackson Bolt

I actually didn't think the movie was half bad. Even though the acting and script could have been better, I think the effort put behind this prodject really shines trough. The one big thing I actually didn't care for was the camera angles. Had the cameraman filmed it all better, the movie had been improved. Random objects in the way of the lins might work with high end cameras, but in this case the final product came out with blocked shots and angles that wasn't really flattering at all. Over all, considering this was clearly a passion project, I think they've done very well. Good job guys :)

Great, yet another movie from Maverick Entertainment. But I guess that there is some hope for this particular 2018 movie, as it has Fred Williamson on the cast list. And yeah, that was definitely also one of the reasons why I picked up this movie, as I had never heard about it.

Writer James E. Meyer put together a script and storyline that felt incomplete and random. It felt like the movie jumped from one random scene to another, and there wasn't really a red thread connecting the narrative. And that made for a rather disjointed viewing experience, devoid of much entertainment value or enjoyment, to be bluntly honest.

Of the entire cast ensemble in "Jackson Bolt", I was only familiar with actor Fred Williamson. The acting performances in the movie were generally dubious affairs, which didn't help do anything to lift up the movie.

The special effects in the movie were exactly that; special. I particularly enjoyed the insanely poorly made blood spray when people were getting shot.

I would not recommend that you waste a good 82 minutes of your life on watching this travesty of a movie. Some of us literally suffered through this, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of director A'Ali de Sousa's 2018 movie "Jackson Bolt" lands on a generous two out of ten stars. Not even Fred Williamson could do anything to spruce up the dumpster fire that is "Jackson Bolt".

"Jackson Bolt" isn't just a movie, but a collection of some of the most talented actors and filmmakers from Northern California, working together on a passion project.

Robert Parham stars as Jackson Bolt. While he might seem like your typical renegade cop who doesn't play by the rules, he shows a softness and vulnerability not normally found in other renegade cop movies. This is thanks in huge part to Parham's performance, who wonderfully balances being a badass cop with being a troubled husband struggling to get his life back together.

Fred "The Hammer" Williamson plays Jackson's therapist, Tommy - a calm, collected, thinking man, who breaks type from the tough guy roles Williamson is most known for. (Not to say he doesn't whoop some butt, because he does.)

The pimp character, Jimmy, is played by James E. Meyer (who happens to be the film's screenwriter), who lights up the screen in every scene he's in. The character is absolutely despicable, but Meyer always looks like he's having a blast on-screen. There's nothing redeemable about him whatsoever, but you can't help but love to hate him and hate to love him. Meyer reminds me of a young Jack Nicholson with the craziness of Charles Manson.

The role that surprised me the most was the character of Sky, played by Natasha Dee Davis. All throughout the movie, she's abused by Jimmy for his own sick purposes. The role is emotionally draining, but the actress gives it her all, without ever seeming corny or inauthentic. Without giving too much away, she ends up holding her own against the bad guys and becomes her own action heroine.

The fight choreography is phenomenal, and makes up some of the best scenes in the movie. The entire hospital sequence is wonderfully choreographed, perfectly paced, and beautifully shot. It also has some amazing one-liners everyone should start using in their everyday life ("Let's get this liver in, I've got a date tonight!").

Paunchiest kickboxers ever! Blaxploitation for our time, cheap and cheesy, which had some interest itself, as I was aghast that someone would market such a low grade product all these years later.

And not one was a Raspberry? What can I say about this movie? Very little other than: Terrible Script Terrible Directing Terrible Acting Terrible cinematography Terrible fight choreography The cast, other than Fred Williamson (who likely did this for the money or as a favor to someone), seems to be sleepwalking, or reading their lines off cards out of camera view.

Usually I can find at least one thing about a crapfest like this that I'll say but that was OK. Here, I can find nothing. They could use this movie to get confessions out of criminals. Or would that be cruel and unusual? BLEAH!
