Aftermath

Remember those Saturday shows? Low budget, bad lines, barely acted? They were kinda fun and it might even generate a light or two. Well, get ready for the same thing here.

The AI computer generated scenes are obvious and the lines are corny. The acting is mediocre at best and I was always 5 seconds from just turning it off. But, I stuck with it just to see if there would be any redeeming qualities to rate anything more than a 4 or 5 at best. Nope, but the popcorn was good.

Netflix has done it again. They have created a hype machine that makes them think they have achieved success, meanwhile the ratings indicate we should have just passed on it.

A decent action thriller not quite an original movie all in all but the acting for the most part especially from the main protagonist and the antagonist keeps it going nicely

and 95% of the action scenes are plausibly decent my favourite being the finale hand to hand combat, very real and well thought out and executed choreography.

This would be say like a modern die hard movie gladly not too modernised such as with tech. A very simple premise as well as it's premises which keeps it primarily primity from being premium lol.

It was certainly good enough for me to search other movies staring Dylan Sprouse.

Not a fan of the story and honestly the acting was very cringy at times. Hard to watch without laughing at times. Mason Gooding was very over the top and reaching at times with his performance, did not enjoy watching him act what so ever. This was a very bad attempt to recreate die hard lol. Bridge scene so un realistic, why would a groups of criminals want to lock down a bridge where they have no exit and purposely allow them selves to get surrounded l even if they were making a statement. Poor concept, poor story line, poor acting, just over all not a movie I will ever watch again. Normally don't leave reviews but this one was tough to watch.

A group of highly-trained military operators led by Romeo (Mason Gooding) blows up two ends of a bridge. Their target is Doc (Dichen Lachman), a prisoner on a transport. They take the other trapped motorists hostage. Among them is former Army Ranger Eric Daniels (Dylan Sprouse) and his younger sister Madeleine.

This reminds me of that Sly movie in a tunnel from the 90's. The situation is artificial. I don't buy Gooding as the big bad. He is playing Romeo like a yappy chihuahua. I do understand that he's the manic cartoon villain, but I doubt anyone sane would follow him. In fact, Dichen Lachman would be a better big bad. Dylan is fine, but he's not the problem.

The rating of this movie is what happens when you have a fandom, this movie is a 2 and nothing more.

I watched because of Sprouse and my god this makes sharknado look great.

This is worse than those b movies by asylum.

There is no reason for this movie to get anything over 2 stars.

The Story: yeah no.

Acting: seems like some people were in a hurry. The young girl is an adult which made a horrendous opening scene a bit more digestible. Still who ever put that scene in needs to be looked into.

VFX: pretty damn decent for what this movie is.

Sound design: really good for the most part.

Cinematography: excellent in many cases

I want to forget that I watched this movie and never talk or think about it.
