Featured reviews
After the muscular thug with the big heart comes to the aid of Ava (Tiffany Ellen-Robinson), a chippy, red-headed brass with the proverbial gilded heart, these dramatically mismatched hearts form an uneasy, frequently febrile alliance as they frantically attempt to elude the ever encroaching menace of knife-wielding, Hyena-like Hoodies, reckless roid-headed hoodlums, gun-happy gangsters and some mountainous mush-mouthed mongle called 'The Beast'! Even with 'Relentless' concluding explosively in a seemingly arbitrary squib-happy gunfight I found myself a little underwhelmed by it all. The acting performances are pretty variable, with stolid, if unexciting work from Murphy, and the plainly engaged Ellen-Robinson is convincing as the pitifully insecure, hard-luck, happy-go-mucky harlot, but, unfortunately, it is all a trifle predictable, Murphy's generic dialogue is functional, rather than exceptional, the too-hectic fight scenes appeared rushed, but happily the noisome, thick-eared narrative is deliciously enlivened by actor/composer Maria Theresa Rodriguez's fine score. In conclusion, while I enjoyed the more incongruent episodes of 'Reckless' it lacked the inherent WTF quality of 'My Saviour'. To end on a more positive note, I genuinely dug the Father Ted joke!
It's as if the writer/director has dyslexia, or doesn't understand how the A to Z alphabet works. Makes shows like this hard to watch. It's as if he had the first and last scenes clearly in his head, but dropped the middle pages on the floor, not remembering their order.
Would like to see the main 2 cast in something decently written. They have potential... This movie did not.
Gave it and extra two stars for them. It's only really a 3.
Stop making movies with your kids pocket money.
The story goes nowhere. You keep waiting for action but it's few and far between.
There is no resolution. It just ends.
4/10.
