Blindsided

This might be the worst movie i've ever watched in my life. Props to the director for making the trailer look appealing, because the movie itself is horrible. Awful acting, terrible storyline, and just an overall worthless movie. Sad because it had so much potential. Don't waste your time watching this.

This wasn't a good movie. Points for trying to use the Sicario franchise name to promote the movie but definitely not a great movie. When a guy sees the ads you might think,"At the very least I can watch a smoking hot Natasha Henstridge for awhile." Um..........

When I sat down here late in 2022 to watch the 2021 action thriller "Blindsided" (aka "Night of the Sicario"), it was doing so without ever having heard about the movie. I happened to stumble upon it by random chance, and seeing that the movie was starring Natasha Henstridge and Costas Mandylor, then I opted to give director Joth Riggs's movie a chance.

The storyline in "Blindsided", as written by Ernesto Melara and Matthew Eason, is pretty straight forward. "Blindsided" is a watchable, but somewhat mediocre action thriller. The contents of the storyline just wasn't all that impressive or riveting. Sure, "Blindsided" can be watched, but there are far better action thriller readily available out there.

The acting in the movie was adequate, but you're not in for anything overly memorable. It was a shame that Costas Mandylor was not in the movie for a long time, because he could have spruced up the narrative of the movie quite a bit.

I sat through "Blindsided" in all of its 82 minutes, and I was mildly entertained. This is not a movie that I would be quick to recommend for fans of the action thriller genre. Nor is it a movie that I will return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Blindsided" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I agree with poor details being distracting. There were so many little things that just wouldn't happen the way they did, it was very poorly thought out and choreographed. Natasha does have potential, but with so much wrong with the movie and those over it, not much was believable. I had a bunch of points, but kept turning it off and going back to finish it to see if anything was redeeming, so I got mind numbed by it. I do remember this, though, the girl walks slowly around while killers are near, the killers walk slowly and just stop to relax, no one leaves the house with killers about, the girl & Natasha laugh and reminisce while killers are around.... I wanted to pull my hair out... stuff like this and bad gun scenes etc. Are all this has.

I cannot even know where to begin with this. The movie started with a promising start and I was hands on deck that this would be a great thriller but literally after the first encounter with the cartels the director just lost it. I mean even teenagers at a high school could have made a much better movie. Bottom line is do not waste your time and by pass this.
