Dead Reckoning

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.

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.

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.

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).
