Aftermath

Am currently bed bound and was seeking something to pass the time, well let me say first, I think would of rather have looked at the ceiling than watch this film, the trailer looked good(don't they all though) but from about 10 mins in you could tell this film was heading south, I hoped the premise of the film would be a kind of Die Hard scenario, but it is anything but, Ok there is an handsome lead, but a handsome lead doe not make it a good film, The CGI in this film is second rate and it looks like they hired me to do their special effects, I really would like to say something positive about this film, and I don't want to give away any spoilers in case you chose to view,if you wanna watch it by all means do but have your expectations low and you will be ok.

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.

Remember those Saturday shows? Low budget, bad lines, barely acted? They were kinda fun and it might even generate a light or two. Well, get ready for the same thing here.

The AI computer generated scenes are obvious and the lines are corny. The acting is mediocre at best and I was always 5 seconds from just turning it off. But, I stuck with it just to see if there would be any redeeming qualities to rate anything more than a 4 or 5 at best. Nope, but the popcorn was good.

Netflix has done it again. They have created a hype machine that makes them think they have achieved success, meanwhile the ratings indicate we should have just passed on it.

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.

Not a fan of the story and honestly the acting was very cringy at times. Hard to watch without laughing at times. Mason Gooding was very over the top and reaching at times with his performance, did not enjoy watching him act what so ever. This was a very bad attempt to recreate die hard lol. Bridge scene so un realistic, why would a groups of criminals want to lock down a bridge where they have no exit and purposely allow them selves to get surrounded l even if they were making a statement. Poor concept, poor story line, poor acting, just over all not a movie I will ever watch again. Normally don't leave reviews but this one was tough to watch.
