Hard Night Falling

This is what happens when you watch too many action movies and have lots of resources and you think making an action film is easy peasy! At some point I thought they were practicing or shooting for another film, someone filmed them and released as a movie! What a waste!

We watched this not expecting cinematography brilliance, but simple non-cerebral entertainment. But it was so bad. It looked as if Dolph either has severe body damage and constant pain, restricting his movement, or he just didn't give a damn about a modicum of realism. When sneaking up on the bad guys he makes no effort to achieve stealth; he just walks around! He doesn't hide but still doesn't get hit by lots of automated weapons fire then offloads a couple of pistol rounds and the bad guys fall around dying. There is no blood when bad guys are stabbed and bodies dragged away. It is just as if no one cared about any pretense of realism. We laughed most of the way through this movie. But, hey, I guess that counts as some form of entertainment.

Words cannot express how horrible this movie is. Who signs off on it's production? Are they proud of their work? Do they have any concept of shame? There is nothing else to say besides save the 1.5 hours of your life and read a book. In summary, don't waste your time. It is a disaster, very bad acting, very bad camera scenes,very bad movie effects, very bad everything. The voters are probably their friends and neighbors, because u can´t vote more than 2 if u are person with the normal taste for movies.

Yikes, another dud for Dolph. This plot has been done to death, by every wannabe action star and it still sucks. The plot is overdone, the dialogue is boring and the acting marginal. He was a terrible actor in his prime and it seems that he hasn't improved - so really practice does not at all make perfect.

It's not like the writers and directors are newbs to allow such plot-hole ridden convoluted and choppy screenplay go to production. Camera work was ok, but Giorgio Bruno failed to direct his cast. Then the lousy editing didn't help either. The score was also atrocious. Cinematography, production values and casting was decent. Good to see Natalie Burn and her usual hotness from her last film Acceleration where she looked like Criss Angel lol. Nevertheless, I've seen much worse B films, and Lundgren was good in this one and some decent action scenes. Acceleration was better imo, but I still saw this one to the end and never fell asleep, so it's a generous 5/10 from me.
