Haphazard

Ok, I'm seventeen minutes into this film and I can't believe the 10/10 ratings. The sound quality is brutal, as if I'm listening while wearing earmuffs. The acting is mediocre at best, especially the silly Russian accents. This is supposed to be an action film yet the action sequences I've seen so far leave a lot to be desired. I'll see where this goes but so far I'm not hopeful.

Heavens, what a mess! Given that it must have had the tiniest of budgets, it actually starts off not too badly, but as the story progresses it loses all sense of direction and degenerates into a pretty disappointing search for an hard drive. This drive contains satellite codes that activate missiles that could lead to world destruction - though not before the end of this ninety minutes of overly choreographed CGI-heavy thriller. The fight scene are lengthy and repetitive, the script is pretty banal and none of the actors looked like they really cared one way or the other about the quality of their routinely lacklustre performances. To be fair, it does not hang about - what action they have created comes thick and fast and deliberately, or otherwise, it does raise the odd smile. Quite how this ever got funded is anyone's guess, though, and it's really pretty poor.

I watched this movie to pass the time between upcoming movies on the Samsung TV+ Electric Now channel in Chicago because I didn't want to see the depressing and horrible News. Let me say the person who wrote the previous User review nailed it right on the head about it with his critic. This film is hopeless, a total waste of time! I saw many martial arts choreographed and acrobatic action moves stemming from Mooi Thai kickboxing in standard fight scenes and senseless car chase scenes. The movie's plot was ridiculous and was beyond any common sense, or to make any sense of it! There are several brutal and bloody fight scenes that were Not intended for younger audiences, or viewers! Overall, avoid wasting your time or spending any money on this idiotic production of a movie that should have never been made!

Haphazard is a film that's hard to categorize, and great fun because of it. The plot is straight forward enough and easy to follow, as different people all fight to get the same object (No spoilers). What makes it stand out from other micro budget action flicks is the quality of some of the action sequences and the moments of absurd humour. It is definitely not a film that takes itself too seriously. It runs quickly at a fast paced 90 minutes, and should keep you entertained right up until the end.

Cool movie, nice acting, p*ssed myself laughing from the humour. Its always a pleasure to see real stunts, not fake cgi. Loved the Street Fighter and retro references. Also loved seeing Ron Smoorenburg in a funny character role. Its a fun easy watching movie.
