Pris pour cible

Watched this movie on the fact that it was rated 7.3 out of 10. Did anybody actually watch this film? Big fan of Luke Wilson and Brendan Fehr so figured I couldn't go wrong but boy, was I ever wrong. Right off the bat I could tell you the script was very poor with lots of long pauses between dialogue and the the action was basically just OK. Took forever just to get some context on what was going on. Even then, not sure if I understand it all. I realize not all films are going to be Oscar quality but boy, this was so NOT anything worthy. Guess Wilson and Fehr we're just bored and needed something to do!

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...

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.

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.
