The Squad

Despicable characters. Lame attempt at acting. Overly loud, unnecessary "trendy" music. Incoherent, utterly unbelievable plotline. Useless kids and cast pretending {and failing} to be "actors" and ooooh, such badasses. Barely competent photography.

And they don't even have the decency to give us any nudity.

A complete waste of time and I watched it at 3X speed as well.

Really struggling to post the required characters here. Honestly, this gets a 3 from me only because that is my bare minumum rating on imdb - as lousy as any movie might be, I do acknowledge that actual people put it some kind of effort to make a film.

But in cases like this POS, they're all better off looking for a new, radically different career path.

Truths. Not hysterically fake shill review.

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.

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.

A collection of music montages.. and every so often a scene with some bad acting....

I don't know what more I can say.... the prevalent use of music montages takes this 20 minute story to over an hour... acting is sub-par on all levels. Sure the women are attractive and it seems that is supposed ot possibly carry this film, it doesn't.

It seems it's supposed to be a "women empowerment' attempt.. but it's littered with "tease" moments which are in direct contradiction to that goal. I only lasted half way into this.. and after what must've been the 10th music montage... and tease.. I gave up....

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.
