Cemitério

Watching someone as notable as Mel Gibson be involved in such a mediocre film shows how the mighty have fallen. This movie has soap opera grade acting, local cable directing and camera angles, and low budget set/costume design. The premise of the film has a lot of potential but fell beyond flat.

I am a .50 cent fan, but the 10-20 min he's actually on screen is painful to say the least. You'll definitely need subtitles to understand a word he says, all his dialogue (most of the dialogue in the movie) and conversations come off as unnatural. You can tell that the actors/actresses memorized their lines in the parking lot the day of filming.

Save your money and Avoid this Tubi movie.

I have broken foot and the remote fell to the ground so I had to watch it all.

Some of the acting super bad. I couldn't make out 50 cents lines most of the time. High school plays have better actors.

The editing was the worst part. The back and forth to the memoirs was so terrible I couldn't tell on times what was going on.

The echo in the sound sounded like they used the same mics from porn movies (yes I watch porn) I am flabbergasted of how bad this was. The only ok thing in the movie was Mel Gibson and not even him being on the movie could've make it a bit good.

I feel like I watched a low budget movie. Ewww.

Was Mel Gibson's inspiration that one mugshot of Nick Nolte looking completely insane in a Hawaiian shirt and frizzed-out psycho hair? Oh, but it gets better (worse?) when Mel goes into action Sad Max mode and tries to run ten feet in one scene. Yeah, that's just a whole lot of booze belly coming at us.

50 Cent is woefully miscast as the gruff police chief who I can only assume is "one day away from retirement" or "too old for this stuff" or any number of tropes.

Also, I am not entirely sure what the resolution to anything is - which makes the entire point of the movie moot. That is because it isn't played as a respectful representation of the true crimes it was exploiting...I mean, based off of.

Nearly every character has to explain in the most infantile or corny way what serial killers are, what this police procedure is, what they are doing and why. It all comes across as discount Criminal Minds/CSI filler.

Easily skippable nonsense.

I wanted to like this - I really did. Despite some of his actions outside of film, I'm a long-time fan of Mel Gibson. And "50 Cent" has made an admirable turn into acting. Several of the other actors are familiar from other shows. Basically, it's got a good cast.

But this film is NOT good.

It's confusing at times (several times I had to ask my wife "what was that scene about?" - she had no answer); it drags on at times (I was pausing it to wonder how much longer it had); and generally wanders a path that leaves the viewer going, "Whatever."

To make matters worse, it had potential! Again - the cast is good. These are people who can act - and the acting is fine. But it's brought down by the writing, the plot, and the directing.

I won't post spoilers, but I'll just say that when it ended I felt...empty. Devoid of emotion. Kind of like, "THAT is how it ends?"

I give it a VERY GENEROUS 4 out of 10.

I gave this movie a shot but it just kept letting me down. It was unevenly paced, which made it draggy when it should have been building, and the action sequences seemed wholly out of place. Yes, Mel Gibson is in this, but there's very little of him in this picture. I have a lot of respect for actors, having spent most of my life around them, and I know they try to elevate the material they are given, but they are only as good as the writing and the directing they receive. And the script frankly stinks. The director never had much a vision about the film he wanted to make. And even though, this is set in Albuquerque, there is almost nothing that feels like New Mexico in this film. Most of the force is of Mexican descent, but there's hardly one cop in it who is brown. Even Ortega is cast white. Not a great picture.
