Ballistic

Went to see ballistic at vue, the cinema had the audio up way too loud which wasn't to do with the film makers but did cause some members to leave.

I enjoyed the film apart from this - the story line was really good was easy to get into the film . I'd recommend watching for sure .

There was two scenes tho I found odd one went on way too long and actually meant that the acting wasn't as good this was the rape scenes 5-10 seconds would of been appropriate to get this across after that it was just a diffent man's head bouncing around ( sorry but this is my opinion esp as we witnessed this with multiples) The other scene honestly that didn't make sense was where he was in the workshop ( not wanting to give spoilers out ) but someone walks in to a place of work has an altercation and walks out without any explanation or anyone at least threatening to call the police this felt unfinished and I would of rather had some closure on this this rather than minutes of unnessasary head bopping .

That being said the story line, the actors , and the film kept me watching esp as I know it wasn't a high budget film I'd definatly watch again.

I've been to some films with high budgets over the years and honestly felt like I'd wasted two hours of my life.

Again if you get the chance to watch the film or get the dvd I think you'd enjoy it . .

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.

It's always great to see an indie movie made on a budget of next to nothing make it to the big screen.

Ballistic stars a virtually unknown cast but please do not let that stop you from going to watch it.

The action sequences were strong and brutal as well as the violence but also levelled out by the quiet moments, especially the lead David Lamont , reflecting on his choices in life . It brought a humbleness to his character that was only displaced (in a good way ) by his act of vengeance.

His nemesis, James Bryhan was equally as powerful with his performance, balancing out a dark vs light between the two leads.

The acting overall was very good by the rest of the cast and kept me interested in the final outcome , which was something I would never have expected. David and James led the film equal to any box office Hollywood production.

The writer and director Ranjeet Marwa has proven himself to be the next Rodriquez with his storytelling and visual sense of style .

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.

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 .
