The Squad

Three young and beautiful drug 'brokers' try their hand at making a fortune during a spring break week. Only trouble is, well, everything. The local dealers want in, the US cartel wants them out, and their home base support system has been compromised.

Things get unpleasant fast as the double crosses and bodies begin to pile. What started as a fun and sexy movie devolves quickly into a standard gritty crime drama.

The Squad suffers from trying to be two movies at once. The sound, the cinematography, the editing, the sets, the costuming, the casting... all would be perfect for a spring break adventure movie OR a violent drug cartel thriller, but not both.

Enjoy what you can from this mixed bag of sweet and salty tidbits.

Visually, "The Squad" is a feast for the eyes. Walker's directorial prowess is evident in every frame, with breathtaking cinematography that captures both the intensity of the action sequences and the subtleties of the characters' emotions. The attention to detail in the set design and visual effects adds a layer of realism that immerses the audience in the world of the film.

The pacing of the movie is impeccable, keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. Walker skillfully weaves together moments of tension, humor, and heart, creating a dynamic and compelling narrative. The action sequences are not just visually stunning but serve a purpose in advancing the plot and revealing the depths of the characters.

Accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful musical score, "The Squad" is a triumph in every sense. Rick Walker has not only delivered an exceptional action film but has also crafted a story with substance and soul. It's a testament to his talent and dedication to the craft of filmmaking.

In conclusion, "The Squad" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a thoughtfully crafted and thrilling cinematic experience. Rick Walker has solidified his place as a visionary director, and I eagerly anticipate what he has in store for audiences in the future. "The Squad" is not just a movie; it's a cinematic journey that leaves a lasting impression.

Three women go on spring break with plans to deal... who cares. I don't. You won't. No one does.

While it's touching that the director's mom posted five fake positive reviews, the truth is this "movie" isn't. The industry has minimum standards for a professional production and this attempt fails to clear the bar.

That problems start with story. Even being generous there wasn't enough actual plot for a half hour TV episode. It was so lacking they needed to pad it out with corte a música (quick cut musical montages) to reach a barely sellable length.

The acting... let's be honest, it wasn't. No one onscreen has training, ability, or natural talent. They should all go back to their day jobs and stay there.

If they had made a spring break comedy with the cast it might have worked. Everyone would focus on the attractiveness of the performers and not worry that what was coming out of their mouths was lacking an emotional connection to what was going onscreen. It might have gotten five stars. But they didn't make that. Three stars for pretty people in limited clothing. Three stars.

This movie has a nice cast of attractive ladies, and all the ingredients (an opportunity if you will) for a super sexy, female led, action crime caper. It tried to be that. But of course, given it's an American film, director, cast.. it's jus more overtly sanitized, formulaic, chaste drivel that is currently common place in American independent cinema.. that is, flaccid, weak dudes trying to make something that should be erotic, super sexy but, nah, these dudes just can't make it happen, because people don't want that! Everything PG! Lol. So what we get is yet even more content that should be fun and sexy, but nah, we get another R-rated movie turned into yet another would be erotic movie safe enough for grandma and the kids. Hey it's tell filmed, well casted, but poorly conceived. Sanitized, prick teasey and yeah, off-target and boring.

Yikes. This. Is. Catastrophically Appalling.

No real introduction as such, just straight into boss babes being vacuous and boss babeing.

Let's ignore that they all seem to be ten years too old for spring break for a second. This movie is essentially one big music montage interrupted by several scenes of truly inept movie making, direction, acting, lighting, editing, etc.

I have given this a 2 rather than the one it deserves because making movies is difficult and the extra one point is credit for at least trying. Think of it as a participation medal for a fat kid who came in last in an egg and spoon race. Bingo, 'The Squad'. Avoid.
