Don't normally leave reviews but this movie deserves one. It has nothing to do with Hard Target with Van damn and Lance but the homage the director throws at you is worth it. Lots of action, as any Scott Adkins' films throw at us. The acting is better than average, Knepper as the key villain is particularly good. Not only dig this entire movie, which the plot is normal to flimsy, but the end credits are especially cool. If you watch this, keep it on to see the credits. Cool scenery, as was throughout the whole flic, but it was especially treating to see Scott walk around the locals and mingle. Watch this movie.
I can appreciate effort compared to budget leniency during the process of making a movie. Good acting here too, but to make a viewer feel gross is kinda out there. Gross material, horror, misguided thoughts and feeling fine. But the fact of the matter is that trying to make the viewer feel sympathetic to someone that is artificial yet at the same time super naive is ludicrous. This movie is just ugly. At least the acting was good. The music was crap and the stereotypes of people were also useless jargon. I have no idea why a comedian like Oswalt would have done such a film. I won't give him the time of day ever again.
I never knew this movie existed. I was scrolling through TUBI and I saw Chris Evans. I like him and the roles he has chosen. He's terrific. So I looked Gifted up on IMDB and the reviews were awesome so I watched it. Wow! What a tear jerker with tremendous acting. The little girl (McKenna Grace) was truly unbelievable for such a little girl. Octavia Spencer and Lindsay Duncan were outstanding. I'm not getting into plots or specifics but watch this movie. It's amazing and you will seriously have to fight back the tears by this little girl's acting. She must be as smart as the character she portrays to act the way she did. Or one hell of a director to get that kind of a performance from a little girl.
