Never having heard about this 2022 comedy titled "Lie Hard" before stumbling upon it by random chance. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch what writers Harrison Feuer and Ian Niles had to offer.
While "Lie Hard" was watchable for what it turned out to be, then the writers didn't manage to put together a particularly outstanding movie. "Lie Hard" starts out nicely enough, but then starts to stagger and lose its momentum about halfway through. Sure, the movie can be watched, but you're not in for a particularly groundbreaking comedy. Nor a comedy that actually have any laughs to it.
The acting performances in "Lie Hard" were adequate enough. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, and I found it a shame that the actors and actresses didn't have more solid material to work with, because there was much potential wasted here.
"Lie Hard" is the type of movie where you have the writer, the director and the leading actor to be one and the same man; Ian Niles. So yeah, there was that aspect to the movie as well.
I mentioned that there were no laughs in "Lie Hard", and I kid you not. While I managed to sit through the entire movie, then I wasn't brought to laughter even once throughout the 89 minutes that the movie ran for.
Watchable for what it was, but don't expect anything grand from director Ian Niles. This is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time, nor is it a movie that I would recommend for comedy fans in general.
My rating of "Lie Hard" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
