The Hard Way

(2019) The Hard Way ACTION THRILLER

I do not hate or loathe this movie as many of the users here since I thought the fight scenes are nicely done and to top it off it does have a happy ending. It's production value is better than many of the current low budget movies Jean Claude Van Damme as of late and Steven Seagal movies.

Co-written and directed by Keoni Waxman that has former Ops guy and NY bar owner, John Payne (Michael Jai White) finds out his brother, Cody Payne (Grant Campbell) killed while on duty while he and his partner, Mason Bellows (Luke Goss) were pursuing a criminal syndicate operating on the streets of Bucharest, Romania.

My wife and I enjoyed it. I was entertained and that is all that matters. If there was bad acting I did not see it. Yes there are a thousand movies with the same story line. But all movies are the same, different time, different places, different actors. Also seems to me that a lot of reviewers have very negative attitudes to everything. I find within ten minutes of watching a film I can tell if is going to entertain me, and I turn it off if it does not. Why sit through a movie if you do not like it and then criticise it. Strange.

I watched this for 35 minutes and upon realizing that it wasn't going to get better, stopped. Poorly written, sub par acting/directing and boring.

Michael Jai White is a decent actor with incredible martial arts skills. Please get him a script for a good movie!!!!!!!

Bad- wish I could watch it but I can't. You can make bad movies in America. Save the airline ticket money to Romania and put it into screen writing.
