Ballistic

Ballistic 2024 is an insult to cinema, plagued by appalling production values that scream amateur hour. The camera work is erratic, with jarring angles and shaky shots that make it unbearable to watch. The sound is equally atrocious-dialogue is drowned out by deafening, poorly mixed effects, while the color grading is so murky it looks like someone smeared mud on the lens. Direction? Nonexistent. Scenes drag without purpose, and the pacing is torturous. This film isn't just bad-it's a catastrophe. The director should enroll in film school immediately. If Martin Scorsese saw this he'd perish. Avoid this mess at all costs.

Ballistic delivers an intense, high-octane experience, and James Bryan shines in his role as the lead villain. Bryan's performance is powerful and gripping; his vocal presence has an authoritative, chilling quality that immediately brings to mind iconic antagonists like Scarface. He commands the screen in a way that makes him both magnetic and menacing, giving the film a darkly captivating edge. Real screen presence!

The chemistry between Bryan's villain and the film's lead protagonist David Lamont is remarkable, with both characters playing off each other's energy in a way that raises the stakes at every turn. Their interactions are layered with tension, giving depth to the story and keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Additionally, the portrayal of the drug-addicted character is raw and memorable, adding an unpredictable element to the mix.

Overall, Ballistic is a thrill ride, with standout performances that leave us hoping to see more of these actors in future roles.

It's hard to find anything bad to say about Ballistic . The action is beautifully choreographed, the setup is surprisingly emotional for an action flick, and the two opposing guys , Beck war torn and beautifully played with a tenderness and Butch , a homage to the bad guys of the 90's and reminds me a little of scarface with more of an edge to him ....both unknown but worthy of watching .

A very simple but good revenge story. But what makes it special?

Unlike today's action movies, it doesn't use quick-cuts or shaky cameras actually see what's going on. Plus it has a really good , sometimes disturbing storyline .

First thing to say is, this is a great and fun movie from beginning to end. If you like the Bourne titles then you will love this movie.

The movie has a similar plot to other action thrillers, but even though you may know the outcome, it is the journey that counts in this movie. It is the way Beck does what he does, the way that he fights that draws you into the movie and makes this movie so great to watch.

David Lamont and James Bryhan are such a great cast for the main characters, Both delivers an outstanding performance. I love to see actors that can portray themselves , a good guy or a bad guy . You love to watch Beck seek revenge and feel for him the whole time, Butcher is such a great actor and shows himself as a badass with charm.

Great, great , greatness i loved this movie so much and had great fun watching it. If you love the taken then you must see this movie. All i can say is its so much fun to watch it, love it and go check it out.

What to say? Well for an independent movie and budget it's delivered, not gonna say it's gonna beat transformers in the ratings but for films of the same calibre it will hold its own easy. The lead actors were believable and portrayed their roles to a great level, the extras in the film was well roled and will be seen again in other films to come. The mechanic was bit iffy but was decent in spring lakes so guess it's a case of if you have an interest in that kinda thing you can act the role more intensely, I'm looking forward to see what is next to come from the director and rest of the crew members.
