Ballistic

I went to see ballistic at my local vue cinema after hearing all the good things about it across social media. I wasn't disappointed. Great storyline of revenge with the good guy David Lamont displaying a man suffering in turmoil and loss. Looking for redemption for guilt of the loss of his sister . Lamonts portrayal was subtle and in those moments when he had to fight , he showed an animalistic side showing the range of his personality. He was well matched against his nemesis The Butcher portrayed by James Bryhan . Bryhan took the role and made me despise his actions and thoughts. An extremely strong character with such a mean stare in his eyes reminding me of those old black and white movies . The ying yang of the same coin , both Lamont and Bryhan bounced of each other so well , I wish they had met earlier on in the movie . The cast were talented and the performance of the young prostitute Poppy was brilliant.

If you're a fan of movies like Taken , then this one's for you .

First thing to say is, this is a great and fun movie from beginning to end. If you like the Bourne titles then you will love this movie.

The movie has a similar plot to other action thrillers, but even though you may know the outcome, it is the journey that counts in this movie. It is the way Beck does what he does, the way that he fights that draws you into the movie and makes this movie so great to watch.

David Lamont and James Bryhan are such a great cast for the main characters, Both delivers an outstanding performance. I love to see actors that can portray themselves , a good guy or a bad guy . You love to watch Beck seek revenge and feel for him the whole time, Butcher is such a great actor and shows himself as a badass with charm.

Great, great , greatness i loved this movie so much and had great fun watching it. If you love the taken then you must see this movie. All i can say is its so much fun to watch it, love it and go check it out.

It's hard to find anything bad to say about Ballistic . The action is beautifully choreographed, the setup is surprisingly emotional for an action flick, and the two opposing guys , Beck war torn and beautifully played with a tenderness and Butch , a homage to the bad guys of the 90's and reminds me a little of scarface with more of an edge to him ....both unknown but worthy of watching .

A very simple but good revenge story. But what makes it special?

Unlike today's action movies, it doesn't use quick-cuts or shaky cameras actually see what's going on. Plus it has a really good , sometimes disturbing storyline .

What to say? Well for an independent movie and budget it's delivered, not gonna say it's gonna beat transformers in the ratings but for films of the same calibre it will hold its own easy. The lead actors were believable and portrayed their roles to a great level, the extras in the film was well roled and will be seen again in other films to come. The mechanic was bit iffy but was decent in spring lakes so guess it's a case of if you have an interest in that kinda thing you can act the role more intensely, I'm looking forward to see what is next to come from the director and rest of the crew members.

Went to see ballistic at vue, the cinema had the audio up way too loud which wasn't to do with the film makers but did cause some members to leave.

I enjoyed the film apart from this - the story line was really good was easy to get into the film . I'd recommend watching for sure .

There was two scenes tho I found odd one went on way too long and actually meant that the acting wasn't as good this was the rape scenes 5-10 seconds would of been appropriate to get this across after that it was just a diffent man's head bouncing around ( sorry but this is my opinion esp as we witnessed this with multiples) The other scene honestly that didn't make sense was where he was in the workshop ( not wanting to give spoilers out ) but someone walks in to a place of work has an altercation and walks out without any explanation or anyone at least threatening to call the police this felt unfinished and I would of rather had some closure on this this rather than minutes of unnessasary head bopping .

That being said the story line, the actors , and the film kept me watching esp as I know it wasn't a high budget film I'd definatly watch again.

I've been to some films with high budgets over the years and honestly felt like I'd wasted two hours of my life.

Again if you get the chance to watch the film or get the dvd I think you'd enjoy it . .
