Brace for Impact

Like another reviewer on here, I am also one of the most conservative reviewers on IMDb which seems to be stacked with liberals only. That being said, I loved this movie, too. Not enough for 9 or 10 stars, but for 8 stars! Unlike others, I found this movie very entertaining, one of the few B movies that actually was done quite well. I love a good thriller. And this movie fit the bill because instead of nitpicking the little things, this story drew me in and did NOT waste my time with a surreal or weirdly thought provoking nonsense most of Hollywood is foisting on us today. Either that or horror movies that are either absurdly bad or poorly acted and simply not scary, slasher movies filled with too much blood and gore, or girlfriend or boys gone bad movies with overt sexual content or the F-Word in every sentence. It was simply entertaining.

The mystery of what unfolds through the lead actress's covert investigation was well done and interesting. Her acting was fine. I have seen far worse acting in too many other movies passed off as "entertainment" today. My mantra here in IMDb is that I am SICK of preachy Hollywood political movies, SICK of teenage "coming of age" nonsense (exception, "13 Reasons Why" on Netflix which is the first 10 star teenage show I have seen in years) or political commentaries by the Obama-owned Netflix. I am one of those people SICK OF IMPEACHMENT TALKS and constant references to the despicable Trump in almost every show and movie made today. I am weary of it all. So, this movie had a good, cohesive story, an entertainment factor lacking in too many new movies, and yet somehow didn't slip into the Lifetime model of the same story, different characters.

It's a nice mystery that was quite good and refreshing considering what is being offered by the "entertainment industry" on the whole today. I recommend this movie! Don't overthink it. Just enjoy it!

This movie could have been a good movie except for the bashing of men and the ridiculous, obsessive female lead. What a complete waste of an hour and a half.

So many of my fellow dudes are so annoyed by the main character. I've seen countless movies where the male protagonist does the exact same things and no one complains about it. The acting in this movie is at worst mid. It's an interesting story with a protagonist that isn't a goody two-shoes and gets stuff done. Pretty sure that's the formula of many successful films. I didn't think the ending was abrupt. It had been building toward that for some time and was properly foreshadowed. I also like that the relationships in the movie were complicated and not just one note. Again, I think if the protagonist had been a dude, it would have gotten much less negative reviews.

The story-line and execution of that story-line are okay. It's an average sort of mystery/conspiracy. BUT, the political correctness is so out of control. We have way too many homosexuals presented in this movie. Way out of proportion to real life. I have gay friends, but not MOST of my friends are gay. I don't care if you happen to be gay, but I don't need to have "gays are great" shoved in my face when I watch a movie. I also have Muslim friends. But NOT ALL of my friends are Muslims. And I don't need "Muslims are Great" shoved in my face when I'm watching a movie. Sad to day, but many of the terrorists active today are Muslim, or at least claim to be Muslim. I imagine there are mimes out there who are terrorists, too. And probably clowns. And a nun here or there. But jeez, can a movie just be a movie and not have a political agenda?

3/26/18. Although the very beginning seemed somewhat promising, it sort of faltered a third of the way through and didn't make too much sense after that. Oh well.
