    Very good overall

    This movie was put on Tubi because it probably didn't have a top budget. However, unlike most Tubi movies, the main character acted in true gangster style. The other characters were all over the place. I didn't hate the movie and was so I gave it a 9/10. I would have likely goven it a solid 10 if a little more was put into the storyline.

    One thing about Tubi is if you get established actors you might get a wonderful movie. Again, this one was very good! To be honest, I could see a part two to this movie. It would love to see more back story. There was some real moments of acting & I appreciate that.

    Low budget fun

    Let's be honest, this is a silly low budget action that never takes itself seriously. And while a plethora of these films exist, this one stands far above the others in its execution and result.

    It's absolutely hilarious. About half the comedy is slapstick, the rest a bit self degrading, a bit outrageous, it all just works. It's beyond farcical for most of the runtime, but keeps you watching anyways. Yes, you'll groan a lot, but you'll find yourself keep watching anyways.

    The acting is excellent for a film of this nature. Jai White shines brighter than usual due to him having to not take himself seriously as he does in previous pure action roles. You'll recognize the rest of the cast from something you've seen before, notably Billy Zane as an humorous antagonist.

    It's short, entertaining, and to the point. I wish we saw a lot more movies of this type - they're far more entertaining than a lot of the stuff coming out today, especially from streaming services.

    Even for Comedy, It's Cringe.

    If this was going for a 80's feel of action comedy, I don't think it pulled it off. For lack of a good story, the bulk of it is everybody taking turns watching Michael Jai White beat one of them up, or a group of them. The characterisations are probably meant for humor but off-putting to the say the least. There is no believable sincerity in the atmosphere or the motives of all involved, and the characters of Stan and Pam are awkwardly weird. Gran's self-awareness isn't infuriating for what this movie is, but it certainly is cringe by any standard. It's definitely one of those films that make you ask Why, and I can't imagine anyone finding it humorous.

    That's right I gave it a 9!

    Listen I love ridiculous concepts and this is one of those movies! The film left me laughing the entire way through! It's the first tubi original I did not hate! I loved this movie and I spent an entire month watching nothing but comedies when I came across this one. I didn't expect to like it much but I chose the film because I'm a fan of Evan Stern (Letterkenny) he's the one that plays the character who always says "ssstewarrrrrrt" incase you don't recognize the name! Anyways yeah I recommend the film especially if you love comedies that are just made for sheer fun and not going out of its way to be something "special".

    Surprisingly enjoyable...

    Stumbling upon the 2024 action comedy "Sunset Superman", seeing that it was starring Michael Jai White, and it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to check out what writer and director Jason Krawczyk had to offer.

    The storyline in the movie was actually rather enjoyable, as it was a nice combination of action and comedy. Writer Jason Krawczyk put together a good script, and I have to say that I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 81 minutes that the movie ran for.

    The acting performances in "Sunset Superman" were good. And Michael Jai White was nicely cast for the leading role and he carried the movie quite well. The only familiar faces on the screen were Michael Jai White and Billy Zane.

    There is a good amount of action in the movie, and even some hilarious blood and gore. Yeah, that was quite a nice surprise, but a very welcomed one.

    If you enjoy action comedies, then you should watch "Sunset Superman".

    My rating of writer and director Jason Krawczyk's 2024 movie lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

    • Trivia
      On the second day of filming, the original assistant director was heavily inebriated while driving the director, cinematographer, and script supervisor to the set. Realizing the danger they were in while speeding and swerving on a highway, the director gently "directed" the intoxicated driver to pull over. The AD stumbled out of the car and immediately fell asleep when hoisted into the passenger's seat-this left production without an AD until a replacement stepped in weeks later. Later, a note was delivered to the director from the original AD thanking him for taking care of him. The director then ripped the note apart, ate it, and stated, "That's something considering I wanted to beat the shit out of him."
