Lost Phoenix

I love this indie action covid movie! After such intense stuff we all went through with covid, it's nice to see some creativity come from it! I thought this was a well done low budget movie, lots to celebrate here. One- a cast that seems very committed to the story and shows up! I thought everyone did a great job. Two- the movie looks really great. You can tell the filmmakers had a lot of vision in how they wanted this film to look. Lastly, and probably my favorite thing about it- the editing! I was so surprised at how tight and sharp this movie is. Would definitely recommend to any indie movie fans looking for some great action.

The movie offers a thrilling experience with its outstanding action sequences, stunning cinematography, and top-notch acting performances. The concept is intriguing and exceptionally well-executed, capturing the audience's attention from start to finish. Director James Couche has taken a unique approach, and I have immense respect for his vision and dedication. His distinctive style shines through, making the film stand out. The use of various locations adds depth to the narrative, while the music and sound effects enhance the overall atmosphere, making each scene more immersive and engaging. The combination of these elements creates a captivating and memorable cinematic experience.

This was a pretty good B-Movie action flick.. On the downside, story was a bit muddled and cliched. The caliber of the acting was also uneven, but not too bad.

On the positive side there is some decent humor in here. The cinematography is a cut above what you'd expect in a movie like this. Action choreography was also good, and the editing was also excellent keeping everything fast paced in the action sequences. A standout was the guy who plays the main villain. He had a bit of that James Bond-esque style of villainy, and he was also very good in the action scenes.

On the whole, although not winning any academy awards, this was an entertaining flick, and I enjoyed it.

Lost Phoenix has the look and feel of a low budget B movie, and that's not a criticism. There are a lot of people who like those kinds of movies, including me. I applaud the creators for going all in and making this film. It takes a lot of guts and is more than many people even attempt. That being said, there were some continuity issues that were pretty noticeable, such as the warehouse/garage fight scene, and why the mask kept going on and coming off, without a specific reason for doing so. At least one time, he was wearing the mask in one shot, and then in the next shot it was just gone, and there wasn't time for him to have removed it and put it away. There was A LOT of dialogue. But, overall it was a pretty good flick. I see it as a stepping stone with things to learn from for their next film.

You've got to check out this creative gem inspired by the COVID experience! I absolutely love this indie action movie! After the intense stuff we all went through during the pandemic, it's refreshing to see such creativity emerge from it. Despite being low-budget, this film is incredibly well done, showcasing a committed cast that brings their characters to life. The filmmakers clearly had a vision, and it shows in the stunning visuals. But what truly impressed me was the editing-tight, sharp, and impactful, keeping the pace brisk throughout. With plenty of exciting action scenes and a blend of martial arts, gunplay, and swordplay, this film delivers in every aspect. If you're a fan of indie movies, especially those that capture the essence of 90s action films with a modern twist, this is a must-see!
