Adverse - Zeit der Vergeltung

Sad to see Mickey Roark in such a bad flick. As one other reviewer said, the crowbar scenes (which were many) were the high spots The middle-level drug dealer, who was stoned all the time and, I assume, didn't need to act at all, was so unbelievably bad, he was funny.

Actually, if you like B- noir and have nothing better to do, it's not the worst way to pass a little time. But, a good movie it ain't.

And that's all it was... an all-star cast. I won't even call it that. It's a cast of actors I personally love. But man!!! It was hard to watch.

I love Mickey Rourke but this movie didn't do him justice. Great cast and story line but poor graphics. You just need to watch the movie to understand.

Well what can we say but no just no! Film looks like it has been directed by a music video producer, dreadfully inappropriate soundtrack, terrible acting from everyone concerned with the exception of the lead character. A freakishly ogrish and unstable performance as usual from Mickey Rourke and Lou Diamond Phillips thrown in for some poster cred.

Lame revenge story re-tread; director pops up for a forgettable performance as some drug dealing n'eer do well and all the bad guys are about as scary as a flip flop although I must say Mickey's syrup was quite a frightening thing to behold, I nearly messed my pontaloons on more than one occasion due to his ill fitting syrup...It is not even funny anymore.

Terrible waste of digital film and your valuable film watching time - Not even Christmas yet but out come the turkeys.

Just saw this film. Seeing as to how users react to this film, they are either extremist one way or the other. But the reality is it's not bad and it's not excellent. It's slightly above average and something I would expect to come from Grindstone. Although I will say it is slightly better than their other stuff. That is why it gets a 6 rating from me. The acting, directing, writing is all a little above average. The campaign is misleading. The trailer makes you believe that it's a nonstop action piece but it's more a slow burn drama up until towards the end. I read that Mickey Rourke is mumbling his lines but because I understand people who have cancer and put on mediations, I felt that was brilliantly acted. The production values are decent except some of the cgi blood. There are lots of great locations so it doesn't feel trapped or shot with 1 or 2 locations. The other surprise for me is that Mickey is in this film alot whereas I'm used to seeing him have a small cameo here or there and that is what I expected.
