Ballistic

It's always great to see an indie movie made on a budget of next to nothing make it to the big screen.

Ballistic stars a virtually unknown cast but please do not let that stop you from going to watch it.

The action sequences were strong and brutal as well as the violence but also levelled out by the quiet moments, especially the lead David Lamont , reflecting on his choices in life . It brought a humbleness to his character that was only displaced (in a good way ) by his act of vengeance.

His nemesis, James Bryhan was equally as powerful with his performance, balancing out a dark vs light between the two leads.

The acting overall was very good by the rest of the cast and kept me interested in the final outcome , which was something I would never have expected. David and James led the film equal to any box office Hollywood production.

The writer and director Ranjeet Marwa has proven himself to be the next Rodriquez with his storytelling and visual sense of style .

First thing to say is, this is a great and fun movie from beginning to end. If you like the Bourne titles then you will love this movie.

The movie has a similar plot to other action thrillers, but even though you may know the outcome, it is the journey that counts in this movie. It is the way Beck does what he does, the way that he fights that draws you into the movie and makes this movie so great to watch.

David Lamont and James Bryhan are such a great cast for the main characters, Both delivers an outstanding performance. I love to see actors that can portray themselves , a good guy or a bad guy . You love to watch Beck seek revenge and feel for him the whole time, Butcher is such a great actor and shows himself as a badass with charm.

Great, great , greatness i loved this movie so much and had great fun watching it. If you love the taken then you must see this movie. All i can say is its so much fun to watch it, love it and go check it out.

I went to see ballistic at my local vue cinema after hearing all the good things about it across social media. I wasn't disappointed. Great storyline of revenge with the good guy David Lamont displaying a man suffering in turmoil and loss. Looking for redemption for guilt of the loss of his sister . Lamonts portrayal was subtle and in those moments when he had to fight , he showed an animalistic side showing the range of his personality. He was well matched against his nemesis The Butcher portrayed by James Bryhan . Bryhan took the role and made me despise his actions and thoughts. An extremely strong character with such a mean stare in his eyes reminding me of those old black and white movies . The ying yang of the same coin , both Lamont and Bryhan bounced of each other so well , I wish they had met earlier on in the movie . The cast were talented and the performance of the young prostitute Poppy was brilliant.

If you're a fan of movies like Taken , then this one's for you .

Ballistic 2024 is an insult to cinema, plagued by appalling production values that scream amateur hour. The camera work is erratic, with jarring angles and shaky shots that make it unbearable to watch. The sound is equally atrocious-dialogue is drowned out by deafening, poorly mixed effects, while the color grading is so murky it looks like someone smeared mud on the lens. Direction? Nonexistent. Scenes drag without purpose, and the pacing is torturous. This film isn't just bad-it's a catastrophe. The director should enroll in film school immediately. If Martin Scorsese saw this he'd perish. Avoid this mess at all costs.

What to say? Well for an independent movie and budget it's delivered, not gonna say it's gonna beat transformers in the ratings but for films of the same calibre it will hold its own easy. The lead actors were believable and portrayed their roles to a great level, the extras in the film was well roled and will be seen again in other films to come. The mechanic was bit iffy but was decent in spring lakes so guess it's a case of if you have an interest in that kinda thing you can act the role more intensely, I'm looking forward to see what is next to come from the director and rest of the crew members.
