Bodies at Rest (2019) is the third Hong-Kong action movie directed by Renny Harlin and in my opinion, it is easily the most grounded movie that Renny Harlin has made in his filmography.

Positives for Bodies at Rest (2019): Out of all the movies that he's directed, this is the only action movie where Renny Harlin's over the top nature is not on display and yet I am okay with that. It was nice to see this guy so something different from his usual bag of tricks. The movie's premise is simple and complex with its execution and while it might seem dumb at first, I found myself being more invested with this plot the longer I was on this journey. I really enjoyed the two lead characters and I grew to care about them throughout the movie. The action sequences are awesome and I love the raw and gritty nature to them. And finally, I love how the movie ends on a quiet and simple note as opposed to a lot of the other action movies I've watched in my life especially when it comes to Renny Harlin's filmography.

Overall, Bodies at Rest (2019) is a fresh change of style and pace for Renny Harlin and it is easily one of his finest action movies in his filmography.
