Due Justice

This is the number 8 movie this week Prime says.... Wow. People must be desperate! I started watching and realized immediately that this drivel wasn't going to cut it and decided not to waste my time. I'm so sick of bad movies. What is going on? I even like bad movies sometimes but they have to have at least one redeeming quality and sadly this doesn't have any. I was at work and bored out of my mind and decided to look into this as the trailer looked decent. I like revenge stuff. I like action and thought it'd be all in good fun. Then the actors began speaking and I realized it's like a bad Lifetime movie, yet even worse. These so called actors are absolutely terrible! 😞 DNF.

Wish I had read some of these reviews before watching this movie. I could have saved myself a couple of hours of disappointment. The movie is so lame, not even B grade. The casting must have been done by Stevie Wonder as the criminal gangs lack any credibility or fear factor, the most unintimidating crooks I have seen in any movie in my life. The fact that the lead cop in the movie is Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite suggests maybe suggests the person casting had a sense of humour, but the only joke is how bad the movie is, the acting is amateurish, and the script lacks any credibility, there is no real suspense, no memorable moments. You walk away thankful that its over and it is not one you will watch again.

Holy crap this movie is funny by accident. If you like bad cinema and can pick up easily on mistakes and obvious signs of low budget and lack of talent - this movie is kind of a blast. I could def see this ending up on best of the worst type lists eventually, but prob not just because nobody knows about it.

The plot makes no sense, lines of dialogue are up front and explain what a character is thinking or about to do, the vampire from twilight who carried around plastic bags full of eggs for no reason is a buff ex army lawyer, explosions look like plug-in after effects anyone can do, they say things like 'oh no are you having another brain zap', pedro from Napoleon dynamite starts having noir style narration then just stops, and this is like if Neil Breen made an action movie with nicer cameras than he usually has.

We found ourselves cracking up regularly at what was happening- the effects, the acting, the lines of dialogue being spoken that were apparently not jokes, etc.

They sort of explained the ending, but it was so blah and indefinite that it really did not seem like an ending.

There was lots of good violence and a semblance of a storyline. Decent way to kill some time, but not earth shattering.

It started with good character development on the main character and introduced his character flaw well. They did not spend a great deal of time on a well flushed out character background so I would say that the emphasis of this action movie was on the action. There were parts of the action that were unique which made that a bit more interesting. Had they spent just a little more effort on the ending it could have been a fair bit better.

Not really sure why it was so panned by others - yes it was not great but it was OK - story and characters seen a hundred times before, a few double takes on the script/plot but what the hell I have seen way worse movies with multi-million dollar budgets with much bigger holes in the plot, worse acting, worse lines - you name it.

Overall - same sort of plot/quality etc as the punisher/dark man (yes I know DM is a bit scifi but it is still essentially the same movie) both of which managed to gain over 6 ratings on imdb so really not sure why this was disliked so much - those two were much the same and even got follow up movies/TV series as well!
