Bautista takes his beloved niece to a football match and has to stop terrorists blowing the place up.
Ok, so this is absolute nonsense and if you started looking for plot holes you'd never see the film. However, Bautista has presence, the action scenes are well put together, the villains are nasty and the climax impressive given the budget.
You could do a lot worse with a beer on a Friday night

Not sure why this movie is getting the hate. It does not pretend to be anything but a fun, entertaining die hard type movie.
Grab the snacks and enjoy some, British humour, fun fight scenes, silly stunts.

Action films are often a bit far-fetched, but are we really supposed to believe that West Ham reached the European Cup Semi Final?

No offence to the big man, who I think is actually a good actor and plays to his strengths, but usually any film with a Wrestler as the lead I'm not watching ( minus the Rock )
But this works, it is what it is and doesn't try to be anything different..
Give it your time and you'll not be wasting it

Good story, great directing, decent action, perfect length and pace, adequate humor - most of the time, and mainly good acting, although Bautsita should have shown better combat fighting instead of sorrowful sighs when getting hit. And the chicken and life story conversation with Brosnan whilst his daughter was caught was a little lame. A fun lazy-day watch nevertheless. It's a 7/10 from me.

A British-American action thriller; A story about an ex-soldier who has to employ all his skills to try and rescue his kidnapped niece and help foil a plan by the kidnappers for mass destruction. This is a fun, noisy, brash, muscular action flick that bears some resemblance to the film 'Die Hard.' Bautista looks comfortable in his avuncular role; the sentimental moments work nicely. He looks easily capable of taking on the terrorists so the tension doesn't run high. It has a fairly predictable storyline, over-choreographed fighting scenes, and clichéd dialogue at times, but it is a handsome production - the villains' audacious plot and their unrelenting menace make the clock run down pleasingly.

"Final Score" is exactly what you expect it to be, and a bit more. The story is tight and simple, and the pace of action is fast. The idea of taking hostage a whole stadium of football fans is both current and real. In fact, making a film about it might seem as a safety valve as it will hopefully discourage anyone wanting to implement such a plan.
The added quality of the film is Amit Shah as Faisal, a bit clumsy, but extremely nice chap. He makes a fantastic Laurel to Dave Bautista's Hardy. That is if you take the film tongue-in-cheek. Bautista is, however, well cast. He's a charming big man with enough authority to convince the audience (and Ray Stevenson's villainous character!) that you don't mess with former US Army men.
Pierce Brosnan, fully bearded for "The Son", has a cameo role. It's always nice to see a household name supporting small films like this. Enjoy.

Okay so there's a lot going on at the beginning as they set the back story.....
Then we get to the soccer game...
+1 Star for a couple of Great lines early on at the soccer game, no spoilers.... :)
+1 Star for the elevator trip to the control room, that was fun!!
-1 Star for the complete oblivious-ness of the crowd to the conflict in getting to Gate 8, no crowd is that blind....
-1 Star again for the oblivious-ness of the crowd while there is automatic weapon fire going on all around them....and no one sees the motorcycle stunts in mid air? haha
Apparently the whole crowd is blinder than Officer Powell at Nakitomi Plaza.......
Tatiana is a great character. Haha.....
Okay -1 Star for the result of the brothers reuniting scene.... come on now......
+1 Star for the hilarious way Faisal clears the stands, that was funny.....
-1 Star for the total lack of casualties there should have been.... that was silly.....
Okay the ending was bad...illogical, but that's typical of this type movie. Overall it was pretty fun but....can't give it an approval.
4/10

A decent enough film along the same lines as Die Hard. I enjoyed it but didn't realise it was a comedy until it showed West Ham in a European Cup Semi Final. That was so funny, even playing a made up Russian team they struggled but the words European, Semi Final and West Ham haven't gone together for a generation or two.
Forgetting tribal rivalries it was a film that followed the typical genre formula but nevertheless was a good watch.

First of, the actress that play danni, acting was gosh awful and she had that darn grimace on her face every time she came on the screen. Also, the other Russian girl with the braids acting was terrible as well. They could have pick better actresses to play both parts. I give this movie a five because of Dave and Ray Stevenson. The plot was great but terrible execution...

As a Briton, after seeing the trailer for this, I thought it'd be brilliant to see a bunch of football fans blown up. So I watched it the day it was released. I'm also a Drax fan, played by Dave Bautista, who also headlines this movie as a humble-but-hard ex-Army soldier visiting the UK to see his niece and sister-in-law. His brother died in action. The movie is reminiscent of Die Hard, and also Sudden Impact, of course, which it was clearly inspired by (to his credit, and no surprise, Dave Bautista is as enjoyable a lead as prime-era JCVD). I liked his sidekick, a wimpy Brixton-born Arab, who at the beginning of the film an old woman assumes is a terrorist (there is a great 2-in-a-row pay-off to this scene near the end of the film). In the last 10 mins, the story has a few implausible beats (mostly after the end result of the terrorist's actions), I think the screenwriters had written the main action of the film, and resorted to 'the numbers' in wrapping up, but I liked it, it was better than you'd expect. There is a bike chase sequence where I would've chosen subtly different shots, but the Director is quite good overall. Also, for Brits, look out for the Irish-accented supporting role by a star of the British "Shameless"! For Americans, for Brits, for soccer fans world-wide, watch this film. It's pretty great overall, given it's modest budget of $20 million - they got a lot for their money. May Dave Bautista do more British productions...

Don't be fooled by the high ratings.
Having been billed as Die Hard in a football stadium, I thought I would give this a go.
My expectations were not particularly high and I like mindless fun as much as anyone.
Preposterous plots, poor acting, over the top stunts and bad scripts.
This has it all and not in a good or so bad its good way. It was totally boring.
The cast were lost in an awful script and dire dialogue. Do yourself a favour and watch Van Damme's
Sudden Death.

For action fans it's a winner. Hot pacing and action. No "Arty-farty" plot. Just straight up no mixer. No goofy politics. Just good vs bad. And lots of action.
Enjouy.

Worth the watch. Does not pretend to be anything it's not - a good movie to have some snacks and enjoy watching, but won't be anything you remember or have not seen.

I very rarely write reviews but this film just annoys me. It's nothing to do with Dave who actually was pretty good. It is the lack of imagination and down right copying of the script which is so awful. Not only is the plot a direct copy of Die Hard, they even use lots of the same dialogue and character types. I was just waiting for Agent Johnson and Agent Johnson to turn up. Yippee ki yay terrible movie.

This Die Hard in a football stadium knock off is too far fetched. How did West Ham ever reach a European Cup semi final?
I used to visit that part of London often. Sadly I had to explain to my kids when pointing to the statue of Bobby Moore who exactly he was. There is a nice pub nearby, they serve a pint which I call Anne Boleyn. It has no head!
Filmed in the old Upton Park ground before it was demolished. Bautista plays Knox, an ex army special ops veteran who is visiting the family of his dead army buddy. Knox takes his 15 year old niece to watch West Ham play at home for the last time. However some Russian dissident terrorists have seized control of the stadium and are searching for an ex revolutionary leader.
Bautista is a likeable presence, finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, Knox uses his special set of skills to fry, slice and blow up the bad guys. He is assisted by Faisal Khan the ground steward who wishes he took the stewards job at Arsenal instead.
There are plenty of set pieces including a nifty motorbike chase scene, some humour including Knox making clear his disdain for soccer. Somehow the crowd never notice all the shooting and police helicopters above and realise they are in jeopardy.
It is an entertaining action film, rather cliched though. It would had helped if the movie's villains were more enigmatic than just brutal thugs. It also needed more inspiring set pieces and I do not mean Pierce Brosnan's dodgy Russian accent.

I have a lot of respect for Bautista and I think and, I know people will hate me for this. He will go down the same path as The Rock. His acting is getting better... roles are becoming bigger.... so I give him a two thumbs up. Onto the film... Its a generic hostage film with a Ray Stevenson doing his gravelly best impersonation of a Russian.. Like the title said.. Sudden Death with Soccer, but I have to say that Bautista has more charisma then Van Damage.. Its cool and not sh#t house and well worth a viewing
If you've seen sudden death with jean Claude van damme this is the same story just at a football ground as opposed to and ice hockey arena. A few minor tweaks but basically the same

Those viewers who have been around the cinematic block extensively will see that "Final Score" is a rip-off of the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie "Sudden Death"... which happened to be a rip-off of the Bruce Willis movie "Die Hard"! Clearly, this movie isn't exactly screaming with originality. But if you are willing to put aside any nitpicking concerning the unoriginal story, it's likely that you will find this to be a serviceable exercise, certainly a lot better than other rip-offs of those two aforementioned movies. It's pretty slickly made, doesn't have any boring parts, and Dave Bautista makes a pretty good hero. However, while none of the action sequences could be labelled bad, I did think that some of them were not directed to reach their full potential. Also, while I earlier said that the movie is never boring, at 104 minutes the movie all the same feels somewhat stretched out and should have been somewhat shorter. Pierce Brosnan fans may also be disappointed that he barely appears for the first 70 minutes, and afterwards gets very little to do in his remaining appearances. Recommended, but for an occasion when you are not in a terribly demanding mood.
