Na Mira do Inimigo

This movie was actually pretty good, certainly not as bad as the 1 star reviewers want to make you believe.

For some people there seems to exist only 1 or 10 star ratings and nothing in between.

6/10.

This is a TV-level, slow-moving action story with excellent actors who save the movie from being much worse than it is. Nothing special about the plot except it's mostly older people (e.g., McDonough and Flanagan) with far less-than-believable backstories. Like almost all of these B- low-budget films, it relies on the frustrating stupidity of the characters to extend the action, but I'm only deducting 1 point for that (since at least they didn't knock down a bad guy and then fail to take his gun : ) but also had to deduct a point for the silly female antagonist, a cliché cardboard player who's ridiculous evilness makes the whole thing less realistic.

This film is worth 1.5 hours of your time, provided you're sitting in your man cave polishing your collection of firearms. Yeah, it's that kind of movie.

Neal McDonough plays the title character, Boon, with cool flare. Sure, it's a rehashed plot - the burnout hitman who has developed a conscience and decided to quit the game only to be dragged back into the lifestyle - but most plots recycle something. Don't let that get in the way of your fun!

You'll certainly enjoy Mr. McDonough's work in this movie, and fans of "Son's of Anarchy" will note Tommy Flanagan's portrayal of Mr. Fitzgerald. Truly menacing on both accounts!

So, grab a six pack and a bag of chips, prop your feet and watch. You won't see this one win an Oscar, but I bet Boon will entertain you!

I hardly believe what I see, Neil Mc Donough, a usual supporting villain character, a heir of Lee Van Cleef, Robert Wilke, John Doucette, Skip Homeier, Jack Lambert.... So what a surprise for me to see him as an anti hero role, a professional killer wounded after a "contract" and then helped by a woman - a priest - who has "trouble" with mobsters. The following is very predictable, you can foresee it miles ahead. But it works for this good little B crime movie without any pretention. So please watch it as it is, don't expect too much, it is not a film destined to festivals, only streaming platforms and DVD racks. Some kind of modern times western with McDonough playing Jason Statham or JCVD as he was in the nineties.

Up until 1 min til the end i would have give 4 or 5 outta 10 -the movie is meh ok for 1 time watch but the acting is terrible but it has good actors so not sure whats gone wrong there -and then there is the ending like they ran outa film to give 0 closure 3/10 avoid - and as for teh i voters that rated this 7 or higher uggh.
