Dead Reckoning

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.

Andre......you've lost another submarine? The main problem with " Altar Rock" seems to be everyone wants to be somewhere else. Like doing "Auntie Mame" on Zoom with the Sconset Actors Colony or " Yentl" at the Auschwitz Arts Festival in Ozwiecim. I liked this film for everything it wasn't but strives to be. Under dog films work for me, even without Season Hubley in the cast.

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.

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 😂😂😂👍

ALTAR ROCK, renamed DEAD RECKONING to make it more commercial, is a very boring drama/thriller supposedly based on the Boston Marathon bombings. It plays out like a family drama for the most part with a few action bits added to the mix. The director did ROMEO MUST DIE and DOOM all those years ago and appears to have lost the basics of film-making in the interim period. Cast-wise, we're in for a wooden time with the exception of Scott Adkins, making the most of his small bad guy role.
