Bring Him to Me

This flic could have have been so much more. It tried to be an action movie but there wasn't a lot of action, instead it centered mostly around driving in a car. It tried to build up emotion for a good revenge movie but it all came too late and then it just abruptly ended. It tried to be a message movie about how crime doesn't pay, but even that simple message got messed up. It even tried to be a straight forward crime drama, but because of the wanderings of the script it didn't even really succeed at that.

The script was definitely sub par, with no continuity at all, despite having some decent actors. The atmosphere was ok, dark and rainy, but it didn't pertain to anything useful in the plot. I do like Barry Pepper, his character acting is great, but the script didn't allow him to come across in any meaningful way; Jamie Costa's performance was also good, but again, he was wasted due to the poor script. Though without him I probably would have rated this more of a 3. Sam Neill's role was one of the few in the movie that made sense, though quite short. Rachel. Griffiths role was quite good as the dragon lady, but even that was pulled down because of all the silliness going on in the end scenes.

All in all, a movie that had the opportunity to make a defining statement, but failed utterly to do so.

Terrible script. Awful accents. Nice lighting though!

Clearly an Australian-shot film trying to be American, but failing badly. Why do this? Australian crime dramas are perfectly fine, no need to USA-it at all?

So funny to see them drive on the right-hand side of the road, but then to see other cars parked on the left.

Rachel Griffiths' accent was the worst - she'd be embarrassed. Was she from Boston or Queensland? Maybe born in one but raised in the other?

It tried so hard to be moody, but the random insertion of 'deep' dialogue made it comical.

The worst movie I've seen in a long, long time.

This movie could have been so much more. But really so much more. With Sam Neill as an actor, I thaught: this will be a nice evening with the family. NOPE !

While the performances, including Sam Neill's, are commendable, they are undermined by thin character development and a lack of emotional depth. The pacing is uneven, with moments of tension interrupted by unnecessary filler that dilutes the impact of critical scenes. The film's attempt to delve into themes of trust and betrayal feels superficial, leaving viewers behind waiting for the action. The real action. Overall, "Bring Him to Me" is a missed opportunity that fails to deliver the gripping narrative it promises.

Worth a look just for Barry peppers performance alone.

Slow burn with satisfying ending, filmed in my local town so I enjoyed it on another level.

Movie tell of a heist gone wrong and the price you pay pay for your actions and inactions. Don't be fooled this film doesn't shy away from the hard reality of life and crime.

Supporting cast from the always reliable Sam neil and racheal Griffith but the true star is Barry pepper the man as a face for this and could easy replace as the new Clint Eastwood for our time.

Story may not be new but it's never dull or lazy.

And the action for a low budget product was effective and brutal, what we come to expect these days.

This movie about criminals, a heist gone a bit awry, money missing, and someone has to pay for that, the motivations, the tempers - has a bit of a timing and editing problem, and the story starts generic enough, then turns into a road movie drawn out, and takes a few unexpected turns down that road.

It is not really deep, but worked to make me care for the two mains. And some of the other characters are fun.

Some cookie-cutter bad guys, some chase scenes, and a successful underlying tension of what will happen when / if they get there.

This film is about seeing it through, but what and why gets twisted.

It was good acting, and it has a nice ending.
