First Shift

It's a trifecta... poorly written, poorly acted and poorly directed. A possible career ender for all involved. From its nonsensical plot to the painfully wooden performances, this movie is a masterclass in cinematic mediocrity, leaving viewers with a profound sense of wasted time and a yearning for something, anything, to engage with on screen.

The narrative, if you can call it that, is a jumbled mess of poorly connected subplots that seem to have been thrown together haphazardly. Characters are introduced with no apparent purpose, their motivations unclear, and their arcs abruptly truncated without any satisfying resolution. The story attempts to tackle themes of love, loss, and redemption, but falls flat at every turn, leaving the audience bewildered and questioning if they missed some crucial piece of the puzzle that never actually existed.

Reading the info on this I went into it thinking it would be a good view, I don't put too much thought into a movie except that it's a break from reality for an hour and a half of entertainment but quite honestly this one was kinda boring, the acting was definitely B movie rating, storyline was all over the place and the characters don't really pull you in too well, main character seems guarded but at the same time opens up messing it up for us as viewers, no spoilers here but I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone as like I said, it is on the boring side and one of those movies where you will watch it one time and never again.

One of those movies that probably won't have anything that really sticks with you long term but there isn't really anything egregiously bad here. Some fun scenes, and a couple interesting scenes of action. Some dialogue is quite awkward and some parts of the movie feel like the characters had no reason to do what they ended up doing but I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking from this. Uwe Boll has made many a bad movie in his time but this is definitely on the better end of his catalogue. I think that the overly negative reviews may be in part to his notorious reputation since over the years he has attracted a vast array of trolls.

Movie #6 in me watching every Uwe Boll movie at least once for a video essay. I took a small break since the last movie I watched and decided for my first one back I'll watch what literally JUST released, especially since the crowdfunding for the POSTAL 2 movie just went up. I do wish I could've seen it in theaters just for personal satisfaction, but I rented it on Amazon and will buy the Blu-Ray in the future.

Probably one of the more serviceable films I've watched recently. It's certainly not unwatchable, but there's some acting that just seems goofy, the whole movie feels weirdly disconnected though and it doesn't feel like some scenes really make any impact. Both main characters are genuinely insufferable for the first 2/3rds of this movie and then they suddenly start to get along. It does have some surprising emotional moments that Work. Generally I wouldn't recommend to watch it unless you're an Uwe Boll fan like me. There's a stinger for a part two eventually which I mean, sure? I'd watch it I guess.

This was a really generic cop drama that is almost a ridiculous stereotype of the genre. Eastwood did the exact same movie over and over in the Dirty Harry franchise. But worse, its obviously a pilot for a tv series that no one bought.

Uwe Boll has always been a hack, but this seems more like a director for hire tv movie right out of the 70s.

All that said, I liked the cast. I hope this earns them some more roles. It wasnt their fault the story wandered all over the place, and really had no plot or direction. The ending leaves you looking for the next episode. Its not a bad watch, and I dont feel like I wasted 90 minutes, but it just isnt original at all.
