The Best Man

Right out of the gate this movie is horrendous and gets progressively worse. It really deserves a zero rating because the "value" here is literally zero. No fun, no laughs, no enjoyment, no suspense of any kind. The action here is a complete joke, basically High school film trash that would be embarrassing even on youtube. You can't even laugh at how bad it is because the movie is so boring. In terms of generic action movie this is as bad as it gets.

If you actually want a fun bad action movie then watch any of the recent Steven Seagal films. Those movies are hilariously bad and have basically the same plot, but the difference is you can actually laugh at those movies.

There is no situation on earth where I would recommended this movie expect maybe as a torture device.

It's a B-movie alright. Definitely NOT a Dolph Lundgren movie. He has only got a small role. NOR is it a Luke Wilson movie. Both actors (the reason I started watching) only have tiny supporting roles. And Dolph has really gotten old. He should retire...

Skip the first 45 minutes. NOTHING happens, besides 3 minutes opening fire at the very start.

The bad: lots is wrong with this movie, because it is a cheaply made B-movie, with below average technical details.

Not any good? After 45 minutes FINALLY the action starts and although it is still nothing noteworthy, it'll do for those who usually like to watch these cheap action B-movies.

And I must admit, there is a certain supsense that I kinda liked. So not all bad...

An interesting premise; rich daddy rents an entire mountain resort for his daughter's wedding, terrorists show up, mayhem ensues, is pretty much wasted with bland acting (by the men), hysteria (by the women), plot holes you could drive a truck through and fight sequences which purport to have actors playing highly-trained special ops vets but there's no doubt they're actors. As for Dolph Lundgren, in his prime he could've handled the entire invading force by himself, and even at 65 he should've been able to take out at least half of them alone. One has to wonder if the "liquor" he was drinking was real.

Granted, I can't really say that I was exactly harboring a whole lot of expectations to this 2023 action thriller starring Luke Wilson, Dolph Lundgren and Brendan Fehr. But still, I opted to watch it, since I had the opportunity to do so, and because I hadn't already seen the movie.

The storyline in "The Best Man" was bland and generic, so very, very generic. I am rather impressed that three writers could collectively manage to put together something so bland. Writers C. Alec Rossel, Shane Dax Taylor and Daniel Zirilli didn't impress me with this movie, and it made for a very forgettable action thriller movie experience.

The acting performances in "The Best Man" were as you would assume they would be for a movie of this type, genre and caliber. You're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here, that's for sure. Not that I was expecting such, anyway.

For an action thriller then "The Best Man" came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression. Sure, I managed to sit through the entire 93 minutes that director Shane Dax Taylor presented, but I was only mildly entertained. This is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing.

My rating of "The Best Man" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I'm actually only half way through, but so bored I needed something to do.

The acting isn't terrible but the writing really is.

So many eye roll moments in this movie.

So many cliched moments. "We've never had to use the panic room". Really?

The premise was really good but such a wasted opportunity.

The actors were under-utilised and not shown to their best abilities.

No humour or light moments at all. Or maybe there was and I didn't get the jokes?

There was no reprieve from the serious feeling of the movie. Either traumatic action or serious, dark moments with too much conversation but nothing really said.

This was truly terrible.
