Tin Soldier

Lineup consisted or Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro and John Leguizamo. Within the first ten minutes Rita Ora was hanging from the gateway. This is the moment I should have turned it off. The storyline was ok but the execution and cinematography were awful, at one point I was considering booking an appointment at Specsavers because the screen was blurred and shaking. Sadly Scott Eastman isn't his dad and blurred and shaky screen tried to make up for woeful acting and zero charisma. DeNiro is one of my favourite actors but this is a bit part for a pay day. My advice is to stay clear of this dreadful film.

I watched this with a couple people but if alone wouldn't have bothered after 15 minutes. I guess I expected more with the sectors involved and director but wow this is not watchable. It's boring and everyone watching spent most of the time just playing around on their phones. Hollywood writers are nothing but disappointing most of the time these days and actors aren't even trying it seems. They just want a pay check. The plot was an ok premise but poor execution. The character development just didn't make sense and you didn't care about any of them. Hard choices easy life, easy choices hard life. It's not a hard choice not to watch this movie.

I don't know where to begin or what yo say.

If feels like massive chunks of the narrative are missing. Things just happen for the sake of happening and everything and everyone is vague as hell.

Nothing really feels natural. It's all just a big hot mess of hallucinatory imagery and confusingly shot action scenes.

I don't know how or why this exists but it's certainly an oddity.

Check it out for the curiosity value. That's about all there is.

The cast is wasted here and I'm not really sure what the intent behind the pic or it's story is.

Not a new kind of action film. Just a huge head scratcher.

A movie filled with a bunch of quazi-religious overtones with some sprinkled in semi-narcissistic half-baked para-bu(ll)shido made up sort-of-kinda japanese sounding titles/words and a whole slew of useless filters on top of slow-mo and a seemingly acid-tripping editor trying to bring his LSD-visions onto the screen between the dark scenes with blinking lights and WAY too many close-up shots jockeying back and forth between faces and people.

Story was bad and barely made sense, the actors were probably (?) doing their best and failing at it, leaving the result a mess of a movie, a waste of money and about an hour and 5 mins - as I FFWed several times to skip the most annoying scenes of grand-standing monologuing and preaching - of my life I'll never get back.

It had about NOTHING to do with PTSD besides mentioning it in passing and the best thing about this movie was the people behind the scenes that were paid to work on it. And I'm not counting the actors in front of the camera into the crew here.

At this point anything that Robert Deniro does seems to be super boring, besides the movie having no fun moments at all, this could have been done way better, whomever is in charge of the script and casting, please do better!

Not because you bring in big name actors means that the movie has to be good.

Either way, i did not expect too much from this film and that was exactly what i got, not so much, or lets say nothing!

If i could go back in time, i would skip this one for sure, unless of course I got paid for a good review, then i would give it a 10 star review plus tons of praise, but at this point they didnt even have budget for that.
