Dead Reckoning

What makes a good thriller? Action. Danger. Speed. Bad guys. Glorious struggle for life and death. Little to none of that do we get to see. How the heck do they dare title this movie as a thriller, when I only got thrilled when I saw the final end credits running?

The bad: Scott Adkins is a great B-movie actor. HE (and he alone) was the reason I started watching this movie, but to my disappointment I get to see 2 nobodies act in the leading roles and Scott Adkins only performing in a smaller suporting role.

Please, give us some ACTION in a thriller. Please, give us some suspenseful plots. And please do give us some solid action stars in the leading roles.

This movie is exactly like a grade 5 student's A/V essay, and the student get's an F. It's so awful that you feel badly for the actors, actors who will not be adding this catastrophe to their resumes.

Scott Adkins films are generally a bit corny and daft and this is no different. I think he's successfully carved out his own niche in the movie business. I'll rate it as a Scott Adkins film. Still, not the best (of his).

If you take this movie from the right angle, it is almost as funny as the "Naked gun" of Leslie Nielsen. It's done so badly that it does make it hilarious and demential. I gave it an extra star just for the bloopers, that trust me.. Are all over the place 😂😂😂👍

I had this movie in my Xbox wishlist for a while but never pulled the trigger on renting it. Then i saw it was part of my new Prime Video Subs so that was perfect. No more reasons to not watch it.

So at least Scott Adkins is not just a cameo. He is in a secondary role yes but he is there in the movie. A lot more than in Lights Out wich i recently watched.

This is not your typical Scott Adkins movie tough. He does not play a tough as nail fighter, soldier or agent, but an Albanian terrorist. I taught the accent was pretty good. Just don't expect the kind of action you got used to see when it comes to Scott.

Otherwise the plot was ...fine. The movie does drag a little bit but they had to establish that relationship between the 2 leads. I seen better chemistry between 2 actors for sure, but it wasn't awfull either.

Im not gonna lie, if it didn't had Scott Adkins name attached to this, i wouldn't had watch it. Its not my usual type of movie. But since i did, i did watched it and it was alright. I would give it like a 6.5 out of 10 on IMDB. But im not willing to push to a 7, so it was stay at 6. Still it will get the yellow heart on Letterboxd even if just 3 stars out of 5.
