The Survivalist

Beware: this is a B-movie, cheaply made, with black and white (UNimpressive) photography.

I was drawn to this movie by the name of the magnificent actor John Malkovich. Why does he lower himself to these kind of movies? Perhaps he has hit lower ground financially, because such a terrific actor should not lower himself to these kind of cheaply made B-movies.

Everything about this movie looks and feels amateurish. Just watching the first 5 minutes gave me a sinking feeling in my stumach. John Malkovich only appears for a few minutes, so this seems to be that sort of movies some actors (desperately) agree to do out of financial dire straits.

Let's hope John Malkovich can still be given parts that give credit to his wonderfully gifted acting talents.

The story: forget about it. Forget about this movie alltogether...that would be best for everybody involved...

COVID is referenced throughout. Some carriers, some spreaders. Lots of death. A complete failure of leadership. This movie seems like it was made for $1000 over a long weekend. Boring and predictable. No upside.

This is a terrible movie. Terrible plot, terrible script, terrible acting/directing, terrible in every way imaginable. The only way for this movie to have been saved was if they asked Tommy Wiseau to rewrite and direct it.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in another terrible movie I have watched in the last week, American Night. This movie is actually worse. It is also worse than The Many Saints of Newark, which was extremely disappointing.

What has happened to the entertainment industry? Are there no more creatives around who can make something worth watching? I am so tired of stupidity, virtue signaling, preaching, political correctness, bashing people you disagree with, etc.

At this rate many people will simply just watch fail videos and look at cat pictures online, that would be more satisfying than watching crap Hollywood puts out nowadays.

It's hard to fathom how Jonathan Rhys Meyers ends up in movies like these. He's so damn talented, so handsome, has that "it" factor, and yet time and again he ends up in pure trash. I mean, this guy was the lead in Matchpoint! It's almost like when I see him advertised in a film now, I assume it will be abysmal.

An actor can do a few clunkers without self destructing, but Rhys Meyers seems intent on blowing up what could have been a total A list career.

The acting are ok from well experienced actors. It is just poor script with characters' dumb moves that I wouldn't do if I'm drunk.
