The Collective: Die Jagd beginnt

This nonsense should be studied in film school on how to not make a film. A fifth grade drama class could write and direct a more entertaining film. It took two writers to come up with a story that's been done thousands of times before, and all much better. The story was so cliched, dull, generic, and predictable, and dragged out endlessly with horribly slow pacing and an uneventful narrative, that the normally comfortable runtime felt endless.

At the halfway mark, I felt like I spent half a day binging a boring TV series. Then you have director Tom DeNucci manage to make the very few action scenes boring and cringeworthy, and he clearly failed to direct his cast properly, especially Tyrese Gibson, who looked and sounded bored and like he was falling asleep. To call this nonsense a B-film is an insult to B-films. Whoever funded this mess clearly needed a tax write-off. Don't get drawn in by the few well-known cast, them being in this does zero to elevate this film, and I'm sure they're regretting it, no matter how big their paycheck was. It's a generous 3/10 all going to Don Johnson and Ben-Victor, the only two actors that held their own even with the terrible writing and directing they had to work with.

I watch at least 4-5 Movies a week and have, most of the time done a review each time but this time I didn't watch the movie in its entirety and I most certainly wasn't going to bother with a review because I couldn't get further than about 35 minutes into the movie. I couldn't even give it a single star. From the start, the script, the acting was pretty poor the sound effects and stunt action was less than mediocre. The fact that there were a few big names wasn't enough to make it even worth my effort to watch more than I could stomach. I couldn't actually even say that I understood the whole premise of the Movie but I was not prepared to even try to understand it because what I did see had nothing to redeem it from anything but the "cutting room floor". The $8 million production cost and the $2 million cast + was IMO a total waste of someone's money. The movie is so bad I have to stop myself from continuing to review this Movie for fear of dying of old age before I finish.

Yes.

Terrible acting by literally all of them in this film.

It's so corny, so unbelievably bad.

The plot must have been thought up in minutes, it's that bad.

I can't think of one thing in this film that was remotely interesting or watchable, even the background music is pathetic.

Don Johnson must be skint to be this desperate to be in a film. I did laugh when he signed some papers and tries to hand the pen back to his assistant, only she had already gone,

The female villains had me in stitches laughing at them. One of them actually said "have fun bleeding out..." I cringed it was that bad, even worse than her back lipstick. Yes, the baddie girl had back lipstick.

I knew it was going to be a terrible film when I first seen Sam's shirt under that leather jacket.

Only watch this if you want to laugh at how bad a film can be.

Beware ! This is NOT a Don Johnson picture. They tricked me into watching because (the still cool) Don Johnson was on the poster. But he is nowhere to be seen in this picture. Blink once with your eyes and you will miss him.

This is a 100% C-movie. Not a B-movie, but a C-movie. It is ridiculously terrible. Such a waste of time of writing this review, but I wanna warn other Don Johnson fans, that they dont fall into the same trap I fell into.

Don Johson still rocks at his old age. He recently made "High Heat", which was surprisingly good fun and thrilling to watch. Action was solid. Some good jokes. My advice: go watch that movie if you are into Don Johnson, instead of this rubbish product called "The Collective"...

I managed barely 10 min in... performance of the actors is horrible The producer and the cast .. must have been on some psychedelic drug...

That someone even had the nerve to release this is amazing !

With this eras possibilities I thought is was almost impossible to mess up this bad.

Bad acting, bad script, bad filming bad everything

Being a b-actor does not mean you have to choose going into this lower lever of trash but I guess everything has an ending.

This movie makes everything Don J ever done before look amazing and something to look at once again... If I just had the time to do it.
