Off the Grid

Such an irritating performance from Ricky Russert. Brings the film down so much. The script didn't help but he finds himself lost between a batman villain and Javier bardem in no country for old men.

Wasted potential? 100% yes. There's an idea, a film which would keep the audience entertained but with the right screenwriters who can develop characters and the story.

Josh Duhnmel does what he can with the material available to him but ultimately falls flat due to the weak supporting cast (RICKY). I'm not even sure he understands what personality his character is suppose to be.

I hate focusing on one piece or person of the film but if it affects the whole film then you must be cruel to be kind.

Acting school? Highly recommend.

This movie felt like MacGyver, Lost, The Fugitive, and a telenovela got trapped in a writer's room, then someone sprinkled in Predator (1987) and No Country for Old Men and said, "Perfect - now let's shoot it like a high school project." The plot is all over the place, characters make baffling decisions, and the tone swings wildly between gritty survival thriller and melodramatic soap opera. Visually, it tries to be cinematic but ends up chaotic - like someone discovered both slow motion and shaky cam and used them nonstop. It's oddly entertaining in a "what am I even watching?" kind of way. If you're looking for logic or cohesion, abandon all hope. It's either a misunderstood masterpiece or a beautiful disaster. Still undecided.

Such a waste of good talent. This was so amateur hour, it's like it was written and directed by a 5th grade drama class. The entire story was cliched with the worst parts of every other cat and mouse drama film, all dragged out with ridiculous scenes. Even the normally comfortable 104 min runtime felt like 4 hours of the same run hide catch run hide catch etc. The top cast was all decent considering what infantile script and directing they had to work with, with the exception of long greasy hair dude that was annoying af and unconvincing in his role. Skip this one, it barely qualifies as a watchable B movie.

It was a relatively fun ride, nothing really original, there were some moments of doubt. At about 1 hour and 20 min in, I was getting a little impatient, in fact I started to doze off. Anyways... Simple linear story, nothing too far fetched, easy to follow, Greg Kinear was fine, Josh played his role well, but overall it was a typical action movie with the ever so over done payoff, if your bored... give it a watch but don't go into this expecting a wild non stop action ride. The only reason I gave it a 6 star was "it was fun" just enough to keep you watching. If it wasn't cast with the 3 decent actors, I probably wouldn't have continued.

Had so much potential. Soon as you see the bad guy, which is a cross between a B movie dracula and uncle fester who walks like he has a back problem you know it's going downhill. Beautiful back drops and scenery, good plot but the villain is awful and dont get me started on the awful centre greasy center parting they gave him. You will know what i mean when you see it.

The sheriff is equally bad, you just think seriously? Really? It's like it was directed by a primary school drama teacher who got fired for drinking on the job.

The "hero" isn't too bad apart from the cheesy scene in the bar. This could have been a great movie but you know exactly what's going to happen especially with the teenager. And how did this engineer suddenly have the skills of Arnie in Predator. Was he in the special forces before going into engineering? Good luck with this one.
