The Best Man

Well I wouldn't even rate this a B-movie its way way down the alphabet.

No real plot with really bad acting and some crazy pointless over acting by the female cast.. And when do special operators as they are alleged to be, kill someone and leave the weapons, bearing in mind they have no other weapons.. And who drops an assault rifle after they her a female scream, no you pick it up reload and go shoot someone..

If feels like a lot of the films that have come out recently with actors who have been off the scene for a while needing some money.

And When is Luke Wilson the type of actor that plays well anything bad ass.

Once again, Hollywood (if you can call it that) fails to reach the first rung of the bar for entertainment with this one. A couple of well known actors doesn't make for quality evening on the couch.

A rich Dad rents out a whole 5 star resort for his daughter's wedding. More like Holiday Inn based on the decor as you watch the movie. My favorite was when they see the "safe room" with state of the art security and equipment!

If you need to drain a few hours of your life in the hopes you get a glimpse of Luke Wilson and Dolph Lundgren at their finest, you'll be sorely disappointed that somebody either needed a paycheck, or seriously owed somebody a favor.

Pathetic that when viewers are subjected to drivel such as this, that we can't get a refund. Professionals...SMH!

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.

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.
