You and me kid . I am getting the equalizer vibes . Watching this on Netflix raked 8 on a Saturday night is just perfect 👌. Antonio Banderas gave his absolutely best in this action packed movie . Quite frankly I did not aspected to be and the only reason I'm watching this is because Antonio Banderas and especially Sir Ben Kingsley. This would be my second review on IMDB . My advice is go watch it with your kids and you gonna love it.
From a scale from 1 to 10 it's a solid 7 . Antonio transition suits him and I am looking forward for the upcoming movie of his. Thank you for reading my review .

Mediocre at its best
This production by Millennium Films (the Cannon Films of the 21st century) initially has some interest because it's clearly heavily influenced by two movies. The first and most obvious is "Die Hard", but it is clear the filmmakers got some inspiration from the John Carpenter movie "Assault on Precinct 13". But while this combination gives the movie an initially interesting start, it soon becomes clear that the filmmakers had little else to jazz up this tired movie. It takes forever for it to get going, and once it does, the energy level is surprisingly flat for the most part. Even the final confrontation is a letdown. The script is extremely predictable; you'll be a few steps ahead of the characters at any point. The combination of the flat screenplay and direction probably explain why stars Antonio Banderas and Ben Kingsley both phone in their performances. Oh, there are a few unintended laughs, like how the shopping mall interior is clearly a very cheap construction on a sound stage somewhere in Bulgaria. And I admit the movie, while being extremely predictable, is not really boring. But for the most part, the movie is utterly forgettable; it'll afterwards evaporate completely from your memory within hours.
Now, this was actually a surprisingly good action movie...
This movie was actually surprisingly good. I had little expectations to the movie, and hadn't even heard about it prior to finding it on Netflix. Despite this, I gave it a chance because Antonio Banderas do put a good movie out there every now and again.
"Security" turned out to be one of those good movies. Luckily.
The storyline was good and nicely constructed, although a bit generic. But you will be well enough entertained throughout the course of the movie.
The movie also had some good acting from an interesting and good ensemble of cast. Aside from Antonio Banderas, the movie also has some good performances from Ben Kingsley and Cung Le.
"Security" is loaded with action, and the action sequences were quite intense and also well-executed on the screen. And the abundance of action actually does soften the blow of the movie having a generic storyline.

Hyper-Action made tolerable by presence of Antonio Banderas and Ben Kingsley
SECURITY is low on originality, medium on clashing fight scenes with guns and bombs and fire and a bit maudlin in the end when the father/daughter concept finally adds some human interest. Otherwise this 'made for action lovers' film, written by Tony Mosher and John Sullivan and directed by Alain Desrochers is a sidebar t the careers of tow fine actors – Antonio Banderas (in fine shape physically) and Ben Kingsley.
An ex-special services veteran (Antonio Banderas), down on his luck and desperate for work, takes a job as a security guard at a run-down mall in a rough area of town. He is introduced to the motley crew of security guards (Liam McIntyre, Gabriella Wright, Chad Lindberg, Jiro Wang). On his first night on the job, he opens the doors up to a distraught and desperate young girl Jamie (Katherine de la Rocha) who has escaped and fled from a hijacking of the Police motorcade that was transporting her to testify as a trial witness in a briefcase. Hot on her heels is psychopathic hijacker (Ben Kingsley), alongside his resourceful henchmen, who will stop at nothing to extract and eliminate their witness.
That is the bare bones of a story that is basically one of shooting, fire, explosions, murder, and all the other derring-do that builds a story based on the chased and the chaser. It gets repetitive but Banderas and Kingsley (and Liam McIntyre) are strong enough to hold or interest.

Suitable Change for Banderas
One wouldn't imagine that Banderas would take a role like this but he pulls it off.Combat skills are convincing enough and the story line is predictable but entertaining.The budget is not huge given that entire film was shot in one location but the videography was nicely done.I would have preferred a different ending altogether but the film was enjoyable and worth the time.
