    Get back

    No pun intended - there is no way back! There is no time given back especially. Now I have seen worse movies (Daniel der Zauberer to name the most recent one), but having said that, I really didn't need to watch this one too. On the other hand I am a fan of Michel Jai White ... and even if I wouldn't say it is his best movie (I reckon you can consider this a pun), it is always nice to see him act in something ... well you know what I mean.

    Not sure if it qualifies to be called a B-movie action film - but you do have to have a heart for low budget movies. And if you also like one or more of the actors ... well it certainly will help with enjoying this. Decent enough if you suspend your disbelief I reckon ...

    Why Mickey?

    I cant believe how bad this movie is. I could only watch 15 minutes before I had to turn it off. Why Mickey?

    Elephant Man

    In seeing Mickey Rourke here in this movie, I realized that he could very easily star in a reenactment of the "Elephant Man." The production would be a lot less expensive due to the fact that Mickey would not need any special make up effects.

    An hour 30 minutes of your life you'll never get back

    I like Michael J. & his material arts loaded movies - this one is not! It's littered with scenes that add no value to the overall storyline! It's actually sad that experienced film makers can do this- maybe covid affected them!

    You have a lead who seemingly has amnesia,then is suddenly faking it, clueless cops, an impotent Michael J. Who's decisions & thought process don't make sense.

    The story is just so everywhere, it's like they're showing a movie as the backstory at the same time while suffering from memory loss!

    I hated that I wasted time watching this, even if I was high-it wouldn't have made sense or be exciting.

    I don't want to dismiss or put anyone's effort down, but honestly, they could and should have done better!!

    too generic...

    As a previous reviewer commented base story ok,but overall acting is something you dont find in this "movie". Especially Mickey Rourke is so displaced,he looks really like someone who don care that he should act. Very disappointing. MJ White and Wife are not that bad,but still cant get my head around why they took M. Rourke.....
