Hostile Takeover

Too many other reviewers were expecting too much. This a purposefully campy movie with good, witty dialog, and good acting. Smiled throughout the movie, enjoyed the fight scenes, and even had a few laugh out loud moments. Reminds me of a Guy Ritchie movie. Definitely not a 10 but definitely an 8+. Worth the time and money.

I am a huge MJW fan, seen quite a few of his flicks but this one was, how you say,,,,bad. The plot was stupid, the endless fighting was stupid, the witty banter was stupid. Nothing like his previous films. The Workaholics Anonymous angle was stupid. The ending just bad. I've got nothing against some hand to hand fighting but when he was fighting for his life for about 10 minutes, literally, he looked and acted like nothing at all happened.

A mess of a movie. Wants to be a comedy / action, but unfortunately, it's a stew.

It's just not put together well. The characters are exaggerated. Dialogs drag for too long, struggling to be witty and funny. It's neither of those.

Instead of watching this one, try Undisputed 2, Universal Soldier 2, Blood And Bone. Thank me later!

Sure it isn't a big Hollywood movie, but then that's exactly why it's actually funny, with far, FAR better crafted fight choreography. There are a couple questionable spots, but since the action coming out of Hollywood is generally blends together into one long groan, they're pretty easy to get over.

It seems like there's an 80's action movie homage influencing the movie. The constant joking is a little over the top, but oh well, still funny.

I've always been a Michael Jai White fan since Spawn and Universal Soldier 2. He's actually a talented and humble (relatively) martial artist a who never fails to produce a good performance. His comedic timing apparently isn't bad either.

I was actually very disheartened when it looked like Mikey was going the way of Steven Seagal, getting to fat to lift his legs and kick properly, but then I realized it was entirely because he was wearing modern style tapered super tight jeans. No one can kick in those. He must have known and was doing it to illustrate how stupid and dangerous it is to wear jeans like that. A+

This is a mostly unoriginal plot with John wick style action minus the gunfire. The fight and combat scenes are for the most part realistic and not absurd. The production quality is good which will remind you that this is a professionally made film. Overall the characters and the plot have some comic relief, it's fun and uncomplicated. Don't expect too much from it but if you're looking for a fun action movie this might be it.
