The Best Man

Once again, Hollywood (if you can call it that) fails to reach the first rung of the bar for entertainment with this one. A couple of well known actors doesn't make for quality evening on the couch.

A rich Dad rents out a whole 5 star resort for his daughter's wedding. More like Holiday Inn based on the decor as you watch the movie. My favorite was when they see the "safe room" with state of the art security and equipment!

If you need to drain a few hours of your life in the hopes you get a glimpse of Luke Wilson and Dolph Lundgren at their finest, you'll be sorely disappointed that somebody either needed a paycheck, or seriously owed somebody a favor.

Pathetic that when viewers are subjected to drivel such as this, that we can't get a refund. Professionals...SMH!

It's a B-movie alright. Definitely NOT a Dolph Lundgren movie. He has only got a small role. NOR is it a Luke Wilson movie. Both actors (the reason I started watching) only have tiny supporting roles. And Dolph has really gotten old. He should retire...

Skip the first 45 minutes. NOTHING happens, besides 3 minutes opening fire at the very start.

The bad: lots is wrong with this movie, because it is a cheaply made B-movie, with below average technical details.

Not any good? After 45 minutes FINALLY the action starts and although it is still nothing noteworthy, it'll do for those who usually like to watch these cheap action B-movies.

And I must admit, there is a certain supsense that I kinda liked. So not all bad...

I am a big Dolph Lundgren fan and I have been watching all his movies since the direct to video days where you rented them on vhs and this is by far one of the worst. The action is bland the acting from the supporting cast is terrible and wooden and there is almost no plot. It takes over half an hour for the story to pick up and any action to happen and in that time its just terribly hammy acting from the supporting cast which is almost torturous to sit through. When the action finally picks up its bland and repetitive with nothing super exciting and I barely found myself staying awake throughout this film. Dolph has limited screen time and this one is an easy skip for any fans who are looking for a unique film with fun action scenes.

Granted, I can't really say that I was exactly harboring a whole lot of expectations to this 2023 action thriller starring Luke Wilson, Dolph Lundgren and Brendan Fehr. But still, I opted to watch it, since I had the opportunity to do so, and because I hadn't already seen the movie.

The storyline in "The Best Man" was bland and generic, so very, very generic. I am rather impressed that three writers could collectively manage to put together something so bland. Writers C. Alec Rossel, Shane Dax Taylor and Daniel Zirilli didn't impress me with this movie, and it made for a very forgettable action thriller movie experience.

The acting performances in "The Best Man" were as you would assume they would be for a movie of this type, genre and caliber. You're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here, that's for sure. Not that I was expecting such, anyway.

For an action thriller then "The Best Man" came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression. Sure, I managed to sit through the entire 93 minutes that director Shane Dax Taylor presented, but I was only mildly entertained. This is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing.

My rating of "The Best Man" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Watched this movie on the fact that it was rated 7.3 out of 10. Did anybody actually watch this film? Big fan of Luke Wilson and Brendan Fehr so figured I couldn't go wrong but boy, was I ever wrong. Right off the bat I could tell you the script was very poor with lots of long pauses between dialogue and the the action was basically just OK. Took forever just to get some context on what was going on. Even then, not sure if I understand it all. I realize not all films are going to be Oscar quality but boy, this was so NOT anything worthy. Guess Wilson and Fehr we're just bored and needed something to do!
