Johnny Z (2022)

A great idea that's held back by the budget

It sounded hilarious yet interesting, so I decided to check it out. Honestly? I really didn't think it was that bad. The budget is what hurts the film the most. The cheesy cgi and bad actors (minus a couple like Johnny and Johnray) hurt the interesting premise and great relationship dynamic between Johhny and Johnray. The fight scenes are fun and entertaining and for a low budget some of the gore looked good, it's just when you have the cheesy cgi blood and bad dead body acting that hurts it. Story is post apocolypse, pretty basic stuff. I could have done without the fight club like scene, especially because bossman's character was so annoying. They do set up for a sequel, so maybe with a bigger budget the next film can reach the potential that this world has. Overall, I personally (you don't have to agree) it was a surprisingly fun and entertaining film that I had no expectations for, don't let some of the issues deter you because it's not half bad.
