Escape from Death Block 13

A very low-budget movie that is chock-full of really, really bad (and really, really slow) fight scenes, bullets that look cheaply done, and a Charles Bronson-lookalike which I'm pretty has had half of his lines re-dubbed.

The plot is simple: man goes to claim his dead brother's money, man gets sent to jail on false charges, man breaks out of jail, man gets his final revenge. Now the story is schlock and the acting of EVERYONE is amazingly bad. But there is something satisfying about the final vengeance kill. THAT gives the movie one extra star in my book. Otherwise, it's really, really mediocre. Not insultingly worthless mediocre, but mediocre as all hell regardle

Finally, what's with the film's fascination with poorly digitized birds? Seriously, look for it. Just so very odd.

Right, well with a movie such as "Escape from Death Block 13", then I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting much of anything grand. But still, I opted to sit down to watch it, since I hadn't already seen it.

And while I can't claim to be much of a fan of Robert Bronzi, whom apparently made an acting career out of looking like Charles Bronson, then this particular movie was not really one that brought me to the edge of my seat.

Sure, "Escape from Death Block 13" was watchable, but it was a low budget movie. And the movie was never shot on location in a prison. Just take a look at the horrible green or blue screen work that the movie makes use of and wants to sell to the audience as taking place inside a prison. I was rather amazed that such lousy and questionable CGI would and could be seen in a 2021 movie.

The storyline told in "Escape from Death Block 13" was pretty straight forward, though it wasn't anything memorable or overly enjoyable. This was a pretty generic action movie with little solid contents to it.

The acting performances put on in "Escape from Death Block 13" were dubious at best, so don't get your hopes up.

The sound effects in the movie were shoddy. Especially the sound effects during the fight scenes. They were just so very bad that they added an element of parody and comedy to the movie, which was actually trying to take itself serious as an action movie. So those sound effects were not working in favor of the movie.

While I managed to sit through the entire movie, then I can honestly say that this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time, nor is it a movie that I would recommend you rush out to get your hands on.

My rating of writer and director Gary Jones' 2021 action movie "Escape from Death Block 13" lands on a very generous four out of ten stars.

I've reviewed over 1,200 films and rated over 2,200, and this has to be in the top 10 worst films of all time. However, as far as the worst acting of all time, the legendary Charles Bronson look-a-like wannabe Robert Bronzi wins first place. There is not one casting agency that will use their name to say they represent Bronzi, so I'll assume he won the Hungarian lottery jackpot; this horrible nonsense was his 6th starring role, so clearly his winning jackpot was huge enough to fund all his cringeworthy films to make him feel like he's an "action movie star". I'm guessing he forgot to spend at least half his winnings for acting classes.

One would think this was a horrible film from the 1980's - CGI and laughable action scenes and special effects, but sadly this is a 2021 production. What's even worse, is that this was directed by an experienced director, Gary Jones. Was he medicated and/or drunk directing this garbage? I've never heard of Jones, but I'd be embarrassed to have my name on this film even as a first-time director, let alone an experienced one.

The 104 min runtime was excruciatingly painful to watch. Every cliche imaginable for this genre was present, but only in their worst versions possible. This entire production, including 99% of the acting, was worse than a 5th grade drama class play. The only (barely) entertaining actors were Nicholas Turturro, and Chris "Bunyan loves trees!" Hahn, who was hilarious, especially his laughing. Bronzi's action scenes looked like he was suffering arthritic pain and had no clue how to fight. All the S/VFX were the worst I've ever seen, including that one attempt for gore after a fall. And since when does blood turn into red smoke lmao?

If you really want to get even with someone, convince them to see this mess. Thankfully, I saw this with a bunch of friends with lots of beers and bongs, and because we couldn't stop laughing out loud how terrible this was, I'm giving this a very generous 2/10 for comedic value. Mr. Bronzi, please spare all of us, and yourself the embarrassment, and use whatever lottery winnings you have left to buy a yacht and some babes and never speak of acting again. Thanking you in advance.

Everything about this "Thing" is absolute Crap... an insult to the Movie Industry...including the (VERY) Poor mans Charles Bronson....do yourselves a Favour avoid it liike the Plague.... Burn iit !!!!

...and what do you do when you're like the rest of tinseltown in the 21th century - got no new ideas, innovation and creativity in movie art? Ya resurrect them in the shape of actors who look like these passed movie legends and continue milking a concept, story and style in order to get easy money and please the modern hipster virus with legs in a true trendvictimized manner, but of course.
