Off the Grid

Such a waste of good talent. This was so amateur hour, it's like it was written and directed by a 5th grade drama class. The entire story was cliched with the worst parts of every other cat and mouse drama film, all dragged out with ridiculous scenes. Even the normally comfortable 104 min runtime felt like 4 hours of the same run hide catch run hide catch etc. The top cast was all decent considering what infantile script and directing they had to work with, with the exception of long greasy hair dude that was annoying af and unconvincing in his role. Skip this one, it barely qualifies as a watchable B movie.

Decided to watch this movie based on he concept and the actor lineup. The director's intent seems to have been to give it the pace of the Equalizer. A slow steady execution with emphasis on skill. Unfortunately, it was a bit too slow and leaves the audience looking for it to speed up. It is an unfortunate miss which could have lead to a sequel if done properly. Duhamel and Kinnear are definitely on my fave list and drew me to watch and keep watching. Without them the movie is not really worth watching. No disrespect to some of the supporting actors.

All in all, the pace is what killed this movie and gave it more of a B status.

Such an irritating performance from Ricky Russert. Brings the film down so much. The script didn't help but he finds himself lost between a batman villain and Javier bardem in no country for old men.

Wasted potential? 100% yes. There's an idea, a film which would keep the audience entertained but with the right screenwriters who can develop characters and the story.

Josh Duhnmel does what he can with the material available to him but ultimately falls flat due to the weak supporting cast (RICKY). I'm not even sure he understands what personality his character is suppose to be.

I hate focusing on one piece or person of the film but if it affects the whole film then you must be cruel to be kind.

Acting school? Highly recommend.

There are no intentional spoilers because I have no idea what is going on. This series of video scenes is so bad I'd think it was an AI crap montage if I didn't see so many wrinkles on Greg Kinears face; no AI outputs that yet. He was an A lister! WTF happened to him? WTF is going on? Who is the silly pole dancer bar owner waitress town maitre di chick with her bimbo shorts, getting in everybody's business? The Javier wannabe with little girl hair I get is some kind of psychotic agent for some org. Who's the red neck Crocodile Dundiddn't? This is the lamest protagonist ever. I have no idea WTF his issue is or why he has a top secret fingerprint entry pad on a Home Depot shed with a bustable window in the front, and a laptop 2 feet from it. Who wrote this? The Little Rascals? I keep waiting for the MST3000 gang to show up and tell me it's all a gag. I want my 7 dollars back! I'm with Mr 1580 SAT hardware store guy - get me the Heck out of here!

Ricky Russert, that's it!

The most annoying, overacted, cringing and retching performace I have ever witnessed...

I don't know whar they were aiming at with this character, but he simply brings down the whole movie... I will never again watch a film in which this sad man is casted.

I think he wanted to give out this Brandon Lee in "The Crow" vibe, but he just ended up looking (and sounding) like a playground bully... just ridiculous!!!!

We are before another of these two-bit flimsy movies that have been in fashion for the last 5 years or so (thank You Emmet/Furla).

We saw Bruce Willis (may God help him) take part in around 10 per year...

Most of them entertain, others not so much.

This one had more than one star. Josh Duhamel is OK. Greg Kinnear is fantastic, and Peter Stormare is, for me, a Cult Actor!

There wasn't much in the script for them, but they did their best and, had it not been for Billy the Silly Bully, the movie would have been a little better.

I agree with one of the reviewers, who says this takes us back to McGyver.

It's just another movie... it helps you pass the time on a Sunday afternoon, but be ready for the ridiculous goon, because, apart from being totally expendable, he can get on ones nerves...
