Blackout

Should've been named The Ghost of Nick Nolte. My husband and I thought this was 80's satire. This was the WISH version of a Lifetime movie, but aired during those god awful Christmas in July things.🎄

Some of the fight scenes were ok except when, after hand to hand combat, nobody's hair was even out of place. The shooting scenes though, lol What a joke. All of the shots that were fired and miraculously missed Josh and then he fires twice and kills them. The inconsistencies throughout this whole movie are comical.

How many kitchen trays were harmed in this film? That's what I really wanna know.

And idk if I'm gonna make it. Thought about turning it off when Nick Nolte's skeleton came on screen and tried to speak words... at least that's what I think it was trying to do.

Maybe I'll change my rating if I finish it, but this is as low as I'm going becuz it's still never gonna be as bad as The Animal was.

As for the movie itself, someone said something about 1 A-lister in the movie... who is that?? I think Josh Duhamel makes these terrible movies now just for personal entertainment. It's like the people who make the Sharknado's, they all knew all 11 of the movies were trash, but they did it anyway. That's the 2022 Josh Duhamel, everyone.

Update: This is a complete disaster of epic proportions, and all I need to say is, NO POLICE!?!?!? It's a hospital, right??? Machine guns shot, dead bodies everywhere, bare handed murder in the kitchen... holy moly.

Update #2: Changed rating from 2 to 1. Still have a half hour left and it's unbearable. If I was actually at the movies I would've walked out... so it's just as bad as The Animal. Lol.

This movie has B/A list actors yet the script and some scenes are awful. Completely cliché and disjointed at the same time. Budget is not an excuse. There are action movies that have way lower budget and were at least interesting if not gripping: Hardcore Henry, Upgrade, The Raid (only 1million), etc. I've even seen better stuff from Youtube creators. Josh Duhamel should just stick to romantic comedies and light hearted stuff like the Mighty Ducks. He hardly felt dangerous or menacing in action roles. Abbie Cornish's acting was also was disinterested and looked like she was just in for the paycheck.

The only reason I can think this got made is because Nick Nolte has bills to pay. A few decent fight scenes and short running time but still silly. Reminds me of Tim Olymphant doing a bad version of an action star in Hitman. To think Nick Nolte, one of better actors in the past century is in this makes me wonder if he knew what he was doing.

This is nothing more than a B movie action rip off of Jason Bourne. There's a reason no one pays for this in cinemas. If it's bad enough, Netflix will pick it up for streaming. Giving this garbage even 2 stars would be kind but that's because I grew up watching Nick Nolte movies. Back when he used to do good movies.

For a paycheck, to fill a content void, just cuz?

I thought this movie was a joke at first, like tongue-in-cheek comedy or perhaps a twist where he's still in a coma because the shootout scenes are so outlandish that they cant possibly be taken seriously. But.... alas.... its for real.

I cannot think of a single redeeming thing to say. Except maybe credit for the single location? I guess? But its painfully apparent that nobody cared. The writer? Didn't care. The actors? Didnt care. The director? Didn't care. The Editor? Didn't care. Nobody wanted this to be made, but it was because Netflix has a content quota and we're all to blame.
