Calor Mortal

This was horrible to watch ... From the first moment, the 2 main characters, Kurylenko and Johnson play a couple but the 30 years of age difference ruins it from the first moment. Why did grandpa Johnson not retire instead of making this crappy movie ? The moment her friend, who comes to help her, is driving the car is hilariuous. The image through the rear window is the same, she keeps talking but you hear the car several times acceleration fast which is not logical. Then you see the road ahead one moment : no cars but behind there were all the time cars. When the masseuse Gary must go to the restaurant, the character is a complete idiotic someone that acts like in a slapstick movie ... I will feel bad all day long because I was forced to give one star and I prefer giving it a zer, but unfortunately, one is the minimum you can give on IMDb...

As much as I love Olga Kurylenko and I do! Even she couldn't carry this mess of a film. It has nothing one can sink their teeth into. I hate to bash on a film but some are "so" bad it can't be helped. The story goes nowhere and ends nowhere. Plus, it's all been done before. Makes me ask myself what is going on with Hollywood Film Making? Their just throwing out pieces like this bomb and not paying attention to their viewers likes. Olga has become one of the best in her field and is truly is a joy to watch. Don Johnson is a well established actor, watching them play off one another wasn't bad. But this film is just a waste of time I'll never view again.

I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised after watching this well-paced 84 min action-comedy film. This is newb filmmaker Zach Golden's second full length feature film as director, and he did not disappoint. It is also James Pedersen's first ever writing credit, and although not perfect, it was still fun. Although some characters were your typical cliched mobsters with cliched dialogue, it still worked, and actually had some laugh out loud moments. All casting and performances were spot-on and convincing, and Golden did a great job directing his cast, especially for a newb director. Even the action scenes were exceptionally filmed and well choreographed. The dark humor was mostly hit with a few misses. Johnson and Kurylenko (who looked stunning) worked very well together, as did Kaitlin Doubleday and Chris Diamantopoulos and their twin daughters, who were a hilarious family right out of the Griswold's playbook. Even the score and cinematography were great, especially for a B film. It's not a perfect film, but it's one of the better and more entertaining B films I've seen this year, and worth a one-time watch. It's a well deserved 7/10 from me.

Despite the run time is 1h24m which is in movie terms a little above being a short , you'd still feel the pace is really slow that you can do errands at time of watching and not miss much .

As for the plot , basically the upcoming hints are incorporated in trailers , so hardly a spoiler yet at least not from my behalf .

So they tried to kill her "kitchen" so this ex spy go on a hunt to kill all Mafia elements involved in this plot , they keep throwing at her multiple assassins but she get rid of them all .

If this doesn't remind you of John Wick (a lite version of him perhaps) then you probably haven't seen John Wick (Needless to say they do not reach the fight scenes level) .

Funny enough even both are Russians in their plots .

A one-location and "defend the fort" type of movie, with an attempt at colorful characters and a bunch of bad guys that rush in to their death under the pretense of a thin-layer of a story.

I'll be honest! The alluring, creative and simple intro credits won me over! Then the repetitive and dull dialogue started to lose me.. Doesn't help that most of the cast is comprised of boring roles (with a few exceptions that probably shine when compared) and their interactions forgettable. The pacing is meandering and the sporadic "action scenes" aren't worth it. Even if the camerawork is commendable. I also noticed strange and choppy editing cuts, including sounds abruptly ending.. as if rushed. And when Olga's stunt double is SO visibly-not-her on screen (and doesn't even look like her) for longer than she is, you mark this as a disappointing night.

If you see the SABAN Films logo, you tone down your expectations.
