The Hard Hit

I have never in my life seen such a pathetically bad movie. Stilted,wooden, acting doesn't begin to describe the performances in this POS. It's difficult to believe that any thinking person would finance this thing. The only reason it has one star is that there is no provision for a zero, or negative numbers, which this so richly deserves. Any casting director who has the misfortune to have to watch this, and still hires anyone from this thing, should be tossed out of the profession and never work in film production again. An AI chatbot could write a better script than was used in this pathetic excuse for a movie.

If you were lucky enough to have seen 'The Lawnmower Man' (not the Stephen King version), directed by Murda Pain (no, I'm not joking), then congrats. You've seen one movie that is worse than 'The Hard Hit'. There is absolutely nothing about this movie that isn't terrible. I literally got up to use the bathroom in the beginning, during the scene where the Irish guy is with his family in the front yard. I was certain that this was a commercial for some sort of medication. The acting was atrocious, the dialogue worse. Even the music was embarrassing. I watched about 15 minutes before turning it off.

I'm less than a quarter through the movie and had to stop and warn others. This is an awful awful movie. Not even the fun type of awful, just the awful that leaves your soul wounded. Every word of every line is delivered like a 12 year old reading off a cue card. It's just so so dry and monotonous, and there is not a single line of dialoug that sounds natural. Every role is played by the most stiff actors they could find and higher. Every character as they talk show emotion like npcs from ps2 rpgs. It trys to take its self so seriously but comes off like it was written by chat gpt.thrnmajn characters bald cap doesn't even match his skin tone.

I love Richard T Jones in The Rookie so I was looking forward to this. He's only in it for about 3 minutes by the way and the rest of it looks like a student movie.

The concept has been done many times before. There's nothing new here.

The acting is appalling (especially by the lead actor). To say it is wooden would be generous.

Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible soundtrack, terrible directing, terrible stunts...you get the idea.

I'll tell you what this movie reminds me of: a low budget parody of a 1980's porn movie. There's a knock at the door, a buxom blonde answers the door and says "You must be the plumber". "Yes I am the plumber". That's kind of the level of acting on display here.

Save yourself the disappointment and find something else to watch.

Don't be fooled by the 10 ratings. Obviously that was seeded by the movie team. The 1 ratings are the authentic reviews. The acting is horrendous and cheap. Most of the time, the actors have a slight smirk on their face as if trying to make themselves look tough and unafraid. Their expressions don't seem real and it reminds you that they're acting, really bad acting. The music score at times doesn't really vibe with the scenes. The fight scenes don't seem realistic. You can actually see the step by step in the choreography with the pauses. The plot sounds good but is executed poorly. The camera work looks like a school project for cinematography.
