The Collective

I watched with a friend who worked on the crew and he paid. That's the best thing I can say about it. Lucas Till is about as intimidating as a ballet dancer. He's supposed to be some hot-shot killer - NOT! The story is poorly constructed and poorly written. The actors spit out words that are flat and uninspiring. The direction (this guy gets hired by people who must be clueless) is flat and poorly staged, even after doing their best to mimic MATRIX-like shooting scenes. Ruby Rose was not into it. Don Johnson must be in dire straights to work on these low budget films. The rest of the cast was equally bad - retreads from this Dinucci guy's other bad movies.

I watch at least 4-5 Movies a week and have, most of the time done a review each time but this time I didn't watch the movie in its entirety and I most certainly wasn't going to bother with a review because I couldn't get further than about 35 minutes into the movie. I couldn't even give it a single star. From the start, the script, the acting was pretty poor the sound effects and stunt action was less than mediocre. The fact that there were a few big names wasn't enough to make it even worth my effort to watch more than I could stomach. I couldn't actually even say that I understood the whole premise of the Movie but I was not prepared to even try to understand it because what I did see had nothing to redeem it from anything but the "cutting room floor". The $8 million production cost and the $2 million cast + was IMO a total waste of someone's money. The movie is so bad I have to stop myself from continuing to review this Movie for fear of dying of old age before I finish.

Yes.

Terrible acting by literally all of them in this film.

It's so corny, so unbelievably bad.

The plot must have been thought up in minutes, it's that bad.

I can't think of one thing in this film that was remotely interesting or watchable, even the background music is pathetic.

Don Johnson must be skint to be this desperate to be in a film. I did laugh when he signed some papers and tries to hand the pen back to his assistant, only she had already gone,

The female villains had me in stitches laughing at them. One of them actually said "have fun bleeding out..." I cringed it was that bad, even worse than her back lipstick. Yes, the baddie girl had back lipstick.

I knew it was going to be a terrible film when I first seen Sam's shirt under that leather jacket.

Only watch this if you want to laugh at how bad a film can be.

I managed barely 10 min in... performance of the actors is horrible The producer and the cast .. must have been on some psychedelic drug...

That someone even had the nerve to release this is amazing !

With this eras possibilities I thought is was almost impossible to mess up this bad.

Bad acting, bad script, bad filming bad everything

Being a b-actor does not mean you have to choose going into this lower lever of trash but I guess everything has an ending.

This movie makes everything Don J ever done before look amazing and something to look at once again... If I just had the time to do it.

I wanted to like this film, I really did. Putting Lucas Till and Tyrese Gibson on screen together it could've been so good. But the script feels lazily written and the action sequences are awful. There is no intention and no proper camera framing, action scenes have to be framed so that you follow one central character, and the camera tracks him moving, the way it's done in John Wick or Accident Man.

Then also there is no pizazz it feels more like a CW TV show than a film and even they have you more engaged. Also lastly there is zero character development, like who is Sam, why should we like, we just see him fight, if you can call it that, the fight choreography was limited, and the stunt team came across like they were told to treat it like a Karate exam aka act like a dummy.

Also why isn't Tyrese Gibson hinted at you don't find out about him until you do, it's like suddenly he's there. Quite frankly the film just feels lazy, like someone was making a point or like a half done project for history class at high-school, about independent spy organisations.
