Aftermath

A decent action thriller not quite an original movie all in all but the acting for the most part especially from the main protagonist and the antagonist keeps it going nicely

and 95% of the action scenes are plausibly decent my favourite being the finale hand to hand combat, very real and well thought out and executed choreography.

This would be say like a modern die hard movie gladly not too modernised such as with tech. A very simple premise as well as it's premises which keeps it primarily primity from being premium lol.

It was certainly good enough for me to search other movies staring Dylan Sprouse.

The rating of this movie is what happens when you have a fandom, this movie is a 2 and nothing more.

I watched because of Sprouse and my god this makes sharknado look great.

This is worse than those b movies by asylum.

There is no reason for this movie to get anything over 2 stars.

The Story: yeah no.

Acting: seems like some people were in a hurry. The young girl is an adult which made a horrendous opening scene a bit more digestible. Still who ever put that scene in needs to be looked into.

VFX: pretty damn decent for what this movie is.

Sound design: really good for the most part.

Cinematography: excellent in many cases

I want to forget that I watched this movie and never talk or think about it.

The villain was horrible. I've seen better acting in my tiny high school drama plays. Cheesy action movie sure, but was half watchable. Mason ruined the whole thing because he was completely unbelievable with every line he said. Decent action. Decent damsel in distress. Decent hero. Great action and visuals. But the villian was absolutely atrocious. I hope I never see this actor in another film ever. Literally every other aspect of the movie was built for a fun shoot em up action movie. Movie was fun except for the scenes where mason has any dialogue. I'd rather see papa Smurf or Barney or the Duolingo animation as the villian and it would be more believable.

I cant find much wrong with this film and in its action genre it is decent enough. I haven't seen a lot of Dylan sprouses acting as its mostly his brother cole that I see but he was good here and it would be nice to see them both star together in an action film. I would say he dosnt come off as the action type but that actual helps in making his character seem more inconspiciois. He plays Eric, a former solider who gets ptsd and while driving with his sister madalian they get in a hostage situation with others on a bridge in order to kidnap a lady named doc from a prison transport van. The entirity of most the film is set on this particular bridge so its nice to watch it progress and show eric standing up. A good action movie overall with good kickassing action.

A group of highly-trained military operators led by Romeo (Mason Gooding) blows up two ends of a bridge. Their target is Doc (Dichen Lachman), a prisoner on a transport. They take the other trapped motorists hostage. Among them is former Army Ranger Eric Daniels (Dylan Sprouse) and his younger sister Madeleine.

This reminds me of that Sly movie in a tunnel from the 90's. The situation is artificial. I don't buy Gooding as the big bad. He is playing Romeo like a yappy chihuahua. I do understand that he's the manic cartoon villain, but I doubt anyone sane would follow him. In fact, Dichen Lachman would be a better big bad. Dylan is fine, but he's not the problem.
