Last Man Down

There is a film saying that's it's so bad, it's good, like Roadhouse, which is a classic by the way.

Yes every actor has to start somewhere and I got thinking that if Daniel Stisen, sorry if my spelling is wrong, got the money to act in a better film then he could be a really good action star but this movie was beyond bad.

The acting was awful, no stars for that at all.

The fight scenes and yes there were many some good but mostly done in an amateur way.

When Daniel has lines to say and he tries to talk like a cross between Eastwood and Statham and the background music playing you can barely hear him speak.

This movie is on for just about 90 minutes and I struggled to stay the course.

Do yourself a favour and go past this one.

It's so bad, it's not even good.

Honestly, you have to ask yourself how and why this was made. It's awful on every front. There are no real actors, the script is just terrible. One person wrote in another review "just because you can produce and star in a movie doesn't mean you should." That describes this.

It's supposed to be some end of world type situation where he's living in the woods and a lady comes across his path. The dialog is pretty awful and with their lack of acting skills, it's very hard to get through. You will have to fast forward to get through this mess. Then some bad guys come and there's some terrible fight scenes, they had to be making this up as they went along.

The main guy, who's name is above the title on the poster, it dreadfully awful. The name above the title on the poster is done with big name actors to get people to want to see the movie. There's no one who saw this poster and said "wow, I've got to see that!"

The guy has zero acting skills. He is buffed, clearly spending way more time on his body than his acting. But if you look at his credits, it's all "shorts" (which means it's just him and his buddies making short "films" on his camera) and "uncredited" which is an extra (which literally anyone can do). He has hardlyl any real credits. So why the name above the title? I guess to impress his mom because that's the only person who'd be impressed.

Rarely do I give a one star for something but this one deserves it. Any of the "ten star" reviews you see that rave about this were from people who worked on it. Notice how many other 'reviews' they have.

AVOID.

The opening scenes I thought were pretty good, and I hoped would set up a pretty decent thriller....

Sadly they didn't, it was all downhill after that, it really doesn't work on any level. I think the writer has perhaps expressed their ideas of the Covid pandemic through this movie, and portrayed a somewhat bleak viewpoint. The story really doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

The almost sympathetic music clashes annoyingly with the gruff voice of Daniel Stisen, it really doesn't work at all.

Positives.....they are few and far between, if you're into dudes with great bodies, then you'll enjoy the many shots of Daniel Stisen's impressive physique, at times that seemed to be the only focus, it gets a little tiresome after a while. Some good action scenes I guess.

Not worth your time sadly, 4/10.

The premise was good. The idea made sense. The acting on the other hand... if the movie actually has anyone that wasn't wooden, and could actually carry the movie, or even emote without looking like they crapped their pants it would have been watchable. Sadly, that is not the case. Even the nudity isn't worth the it.

"No one sets out to make a bad movie." But they all had to know this one is. Some of the worst acting, directing, and writing you'll ever skim through. I only gave it a 3 out of charity. But they got paid; The viewer gets nothing for wasted time. However, I kind of liked the ending after all that muscle and posturing.
