Mistaken

Tom Loseby puts in an unbelievable performance in his debut film. This lad is going places.

Hmmm .. Where do I begin? Well, I didnt rate it 1 star, with the label ABSOLUTE GARBAGE (the lead review here)... But it really has the look n feel of someone's film college project. Problem is: the college's name is BLINKY THE CLOWN FILM COLLEGE.

We begin with an armed heist of a SAFE HOUSE, where one of the guards is wounded, but manages to hit an alarm. The real guards move in to apprehend the crooks, but they escape scot-free through a backdoor. Man, I hate it when that happens: every time I get robbed & call a crack team of experts to catch the bad guys, the crooks escape out the back. No one seems to figure out how to seal all exit points.

After that, the action switches to an airport in London, where some guy lands & calls his girl. Now you know one of them is going to get killed. However, the camera work reminds me of something a 12-year old might do with the device his mom got for his birthday. His friends don't do very good accents either (I wondered if the 'actors' brushed tbeir teeth but forgot to rinse?). Thank you, Prime TV for adding this gem to the repetoire. Next time, try watching the product first.

As much as I wanted to see how the story ends, I just couldn't stomach any more after about 20 minutes. The atrocious acting, the corny dialogue, the laughably bad accents, the stupid camera work all go to sabotage what might have been a tolerable story. Prime should be ashamed of themselves for foisting this garbage upon us unsuspecting members!

I found the movie on amazon prime after suffering through Basic, arguably one of Travolta & Samuel L. Jackson's worst films.

I can say that in comparison, I genuinely found myself gripped to the screen wanting to find out more on the characters. For an independent and very low budget film it was an absolute cracker. I won't include any spoilers, but I'm excited for a sequel to find out what happens between young Leo and a certain someone.

I am quite surprised to not see a higher rating, but perhaps other reviewers thought it had a slightly larger budget than the stated 4k... I imagine most of that budget went into the selection of my top 3 rated actors in the film:

1) the priest for his heartfelt speech at the end, i felt he deserved a bit more screen time.

2) The gorgeous Russian purchaser of certain stolen materials. For her fight scenes and looks, she quite rightly deserves a film of her own and i would watch it.

3) The petite assassin that goes swimming - What a fight! I think he deserves a back story for such effort. It was close for old Tom Shaw...
