The Collective

Yeah, I barely made it halfway.

Ruby Rose is just terrible in everything; I have no idea how she got the golden ticket to Hollywood or how she keeps getting gigs. I guess when your first feature film as a lead is deemed unwatchable (Batwoman) you will take what you can get.

I have no clue who the lead guy is, but he seriously looks like the Team America version of Matt Damon.

Now the sad part for me is seeing Don Johnson in this dreck.

Now I know how my parents and grandparents felt when they started seeing the actors and actresses, they loved growing up taking roles in awful films at the end of their careers. :/

If you can make it all the way through this, I commend you.

I wanted to like this film, I really did. Putting Lucas Till and Tyrese Gibson on screen together it could've been so good. But the script feels lazily written and the action sequences are awful. There is no intention and no proper camera framing, action scenes have to be framed so that you follow one central character, and the camera tracks him moving, the way it's done in John Wick or Accident Man.

Then also there is no pizazz it feels more like a CW TV show than a film and even they have you more engaged. Also lastly there is zero character development, like who is Sam, why should we like, we just see him fight, if you can call it that, the fight choreography was limited, and the stunt team came across like they were told to treat it like a Karate exam aka act like a dummy.

Also why isn't Tyrese Gibson hinted at you don't find out about him until you do, it's like suddenly he's there. Quite frankly the film just feels lazy, like someone was making a point or like a half done project for history class at high-school, about independent spy organisations.

Yes.

Terrible acting by literally all of them in this film.

It's so corny, so unbelievably bad.

The plot must have been thought up in minutes, it's that bad.

I can't think of one thing in this film that was remotely interesting or watchable, even the background music is pathetic.

Don Johnson must be skint to be this desperate to be in a film. I did laugh when he signed some papers and tries to hand the pen back to his assistant, only she had already gone,

The female villains had me in stitches laughing at them. One of them actually said "have fun bleeding out..." I cringed it was that bad, even worse than her back lipstick. Yes, the baddie girl had back lipstick.

I knew it was going to be a terrible film when I first seen Sam's shirt under that leather jacket.

Only watch this if you want to laugh at how bad a film can be.

This movie is so bad they literally hired the lover from the Hannah Montana Movie to play the main character. Lmao. Plus, Roman from Fast and Furious should only act in Fast and Furious. I would rather watch all the fast and furious movies in one day without drinking water or going to the bathroom. I would rather sit outside in the Georgia heat in the middle of the summer getting bit by mosquitos rather than to watch this movie. I would rather watch the Hannah Montana movie on repeat then watch this movie, and also listen to only Wreaking Ball for 24 hours then watch this movie again ever. I would rather wear a Hawaiian shirt everyday for the rest of my life than to watch this movie. It sucks.

This nonsense should be studied in film school on how to not make a film. A fifth grade drama class could write and direct a more entertaining film. It took two writers to come up with a story that's been done thousands of times before, and all much better. The story was so cliched, dull, generic, and predictable, and dragged out endlessly with horribly slow pacing and an uneventful narrative, that the normally comfortable runtime felt endless.

At the halfway mark, I felt like I spent half a day binging a boring TV series. Then you have director Tom DeNucci manage to make the very few action scenes boring and cringeworthy, and he clearly failed to direct his cast properly, especially Tyrese Gibson, who looked and sounded bored and like he was falling asleep. To call this nonsense a B-film is an insult to B-films. Whoever funded this mess clearly needed a tax write-off. Don't get drawn in by the few well-known cast, them being in this does zero to elevate this film, and I'm sure they're regretting it, no matter how big their paycheck was. It's a generous 3/10 all going to Don Johnson and Ben-Victor, the only two actors that held their own even with the terrible writing and directing they had to work with.
