Break Even

Sorry and obviously no pun intended as always. You may know the main character from her TV roles (I am not sure how distinct you think her voice is, so maybe you are a fan of video games too) ... mainly The 100 of course. At least that is true for me.

The action movie is quite ... well it is easily told, even if I reckon there are some twists along the way. On the other hand her main antagonist ... well it is quite cliche. Also there might be some nudity in this, though I couldn't tell what exactly you could see .. the service I watched this on blurred the love scene ... not sure if that would play any role for you (not the blurring, but the nudity if there is any and if it is male or female focused).

That all said, the movie is I reckon decent enough ... especially if you are a fan of hers ... it is more or less a showreel for her .. and she stretch a bit of her acting muscles. Weird ending I suppose ...

This is a low budget affair and it shows. This plot has been seen before - nice people find bad people's money and the bad people come after them.

The scenes are pretty disjointed and don't fit together very well. There are plot holes at seemingly every turn.

Jaq (Tasya Teles) is the only actor who does a good job with their role. But the script she has to work with is horrible. Her fellow crew members are. Without giving away nything her relationship with the bad guys and other felons is confusing and simply not believable.

Agent Crowe (Joanna Pacula) is a particularly bad actress. As the main nemesis in the movie her bad acting pulls it all down. In her defense, she and most of the other roles are poorly defined.

Most hilarious is what is basically a cameo from Steve Gutenburg who has put on a few pounds. He's the only actor in the movie you probably have heard of before. He is given top billing (?). His acting is pretty bad as he tries to restore the zaniness of his Police Academy days. I actually liked those. Unfortunately for Steve, he could never move beyond that to any other big roles.

When a movie has to resort to sex as flypaper, your scenses should warn you it's a shallow movie - and it is! -Acting: not so good -Goofs: way too many, like let's not draw attention, by the way is this an Ak-47, fires a few rounds - wow cool. -Plot: two couples on a sailboat finds $50 mill when diving, we're rich... we just have to.... -GreenScreens: way too obvious!

If still a teenager hungry for light dressed actors, and easy chewable «action» you might last till the end, but anyone above 20 who manages to see the entire film, wow gratulation - I went for a hike instead!

What a stupid story with terrible acting. Nothing more needs to be said.

The scenario has many plot holes in a lot of places. The general idea for the movie is good, but the action and performances inside the film seems poor in my opinion. I would almost say difficult to watch after an hour or so for some people. Give it a try if you want but don't expect anything above average.
