Soulcatcher

It doesn't get any more amateur hour than this mess. Co-writer and director Daniel Markowicz put together a film that was riddled with cliches, plot holes and terrible action sequences and editing. A fifth grade drama class can do better. The lead actor was unconvincing and annoying - I'm sure part blame falls on poor cast directing. There were too many incomplete scenes and random ones that made no sense (girl with the tattoo on her forehead), and others were you will see an explosion and not know why/where it came from (e.g. Did helicopter pilot blow up army vehicles and save female soldier?). The entire story has been done many times before and all much better. How a filmmaker can make his viewers sit through a painful 98 min runtime and still barely know what that machine is/does is a sign of terrible filmmaking. There's absolutely no reason to waste your time with this nonsense, I did it for you.

No pun intended - I am not even sure if the (international) title is apt. But let's not get hung up on that. The movie seems like a throwback ... if that is a good or a bad thing ... well up to you! Quite a few cliches - things you have seen in US movies too. If you liked them there, you will like them here. I would not go as far as do Seagal comparisons - that is just me - and below the quality of the movie (as low as you may think it is).

The action is well shot, the predictability rate as high as the hit rate of our main character. He has charisma - and gets a band of misfits to help him. Again no points for guessing the twists (if you can call them that) ... also paper thin character development ... if any ...

If you value your time do not waste it for this movie. Seems to me that they used people straight from the street, who have no idea how to act, as it's painfully unrealistic... Special effects out of movies in 1960's, story line like from some youtube channel. I don't understand how this movie made it to netflix... is it some new trend - bad is a new good? I have seen some corny movies before, but this one sets completely new standard :) If this is the way polish cinematography is going I am afraid it's time to focus on other countries, which is a shame, as they did make some really good movies in the past...

This movie was not great I have to be honest. The premise seemed interesting enough. A group are hired to retrieve a weapon of mass destruction, you know how it goes. The thing that I did find good about this though was how we had a zombie theme thrown in, the weapon causes the victim to die at first, but then come back and be angry. Almost to the point of a zombie like creature. The action is decent enough and works well for the film. The acting was decent as well. This movie just seemed decent. There was nothing to great and really this film was just an ok action. Not one of netflixes best, but not the worst either.

Seriously....it's impossible to unseen this movie. It seems to be class Z production: far-fetched scenario, gun fight scenes repeated with mirror effect just to act as brand new for spectator, poor post-production CGI effects and finally: characters pale as medival virgin's skin. I can't believe that actor like Jacek Koman took part with this project. In 80s the movie could propably compete with movies starring Michael Dudikoff but today it makes me feel embarrased and ironic smile on my face appears. I tried to find any positive aspect of this movie but even trying to remind soundtrack is pointless. Many years ago I watched "The Taylor from Panama" and I scored it as worst movie I ever seen - unfortunately, it changed now.
