Guns of Eden

I honestly only watched this because of actress Brooke Lewis Bellas. Any Brooke fans just know the trailer makes it seem like she's in it more. But, she came and went. A travesty I say as this is a waste of super talent. With that rant over I'm legit surprised how fun this film was. Cheesy AF and low budget, but overall I had fun. I've seen enough of these and some can drag. This one went by pretty quickly (thought in fairness it's also shorter than expected) I think the ending was either trying to set up for a sequel or maybe there's a message it was trying to state that went over my head? Either way, it just felt unsatisfying. But overall still had fun.

I have seen worse movies, and I have given up on better movies. It is in the zone where it can almost be enjoyed for how bad it is, but it is teetering on the brink of being so bad it can barely be stomached.

Overall this reminded me of exploitation movies from the 60's and 70's except with worse acting, directing, special effects and writing. It really seemed like a bunch of teenage boys wrote the script, trying to outdo each other for how macho and tough they can sound. Except the lines are being delivered by their parents.

For the copious amount of guns, they drew in explosions and maybe cartridges ejecting, not to mention occasional ricochet sparks and incredibly evenly spaced holes in cars and buildings. I think they also spent about five dollars on ketchup packages.

Anyway, if you are a fan of really bad movies, give it a shot. If not, avoid it at all costs.

Having been a fan of Greg Lamberson's previous horror efforts, and knowing his love for the action genre, I was really excited to see what he could do.

And, man, was I delighted. This script is tight, punchy and strong. It weaves some of the action tropes we've seen before into a fresh plot with a multitude of antagonists (a group of several small armies) and some well-done fight scenes. There's even a ridiculously good-looking helicopter that would have you guessing about its legitimacy if you didn't already know what they did going in.

The highlight of the film is its star. Alexandra Faye Sadeghian plays the role with pathos and weight without sacrificing fun. She is absolutely an action star.

Highly recommended.

Near the beginning of this one an off duty cop shoots a real cop, who is not wearing his standard issue vest while on duty. -1 Star

If you are going to portray cops, at least make an attempt to be accurate.

Oh man, the acting in this bomb is almost as bad as the script. What a horrid, horrid thing. I had to shut this off 18 minutes in. That's all I could make it.

1/10.

And IMDB has now made it so a review has to have 600 characters before it can be entered. I really don't expect that to last very long because people are sure to complain about it. But until that happens I guess we have to expect reviews to be long winded and sometimes about absolutely nothing to do with the show in question.

We have some of the worst acting of recent times. It is so fake you might only watch it because it is so bad that you laugh at the actor's lines and the music. This again is another 2023 movie which is only noteworthy because it is so bad which follows the last few years of terrible B grade movies being put out.

If you not tired but need sleep use this moving to help bore, you into a great night's sleep.

I am glad some other person had fun watching it as they may be the only one. If they are trying for sequal maybe the actors will pay the studio for exposure as this group was very ordinary. When will we see quality again - hopefully soon.
