    The all-star cast sucked me in...

    And that's all it was... an all-star cast. I won't even call it that. It's a cast of actors I personally love. But man!!! It was hard to watch.

    Adverse slow burn thriller

    Just saw this film. Seeing as to how users react to this film, they are either extremist one way or the other. But the reality is it's not bad and it's not excellent. It's slightly above average and something I would expect to come from Grindstone. Although I will say it is slightly better than their other stuff. That is why it gets a 6 rating from me. The acting, directing, writing is all a little above average. The campaign is misleading. The trailer makes you believe that it's a nonstop action piece but it's more a slow burn drama up until towards the end. I read that Mickey Rourke is mumbling his lines but because I understand people who have cancer and put on mediations, I felt that was brilliantly acted. The production values are decent except some of the cgi blood. There are lots of great locations so it doesn't feel trapped or shot with 1 or 2 locations. The other surprise for me is that Mickey is in this film alot whereas I'm used to seeing him have a small cameo here or there and that is what I expected.

    Mickey, WTF?

    Sad to see Mickey Roark in such a bad flick. As one other reviewer said, the crowbar scenes (which were many) were the high spots The middle-level drug dealer, who was stoned all the time and, I assume, didn't need to act at all, was so unbelievably bad, he was funny.

    Actually, if you like B- noir and have nothing better to do, it's not the worst way to pass a little time. But, a good movie it ain't.

    Mickey Rourke's Hairline

    Yes, that distinctive join between Mickey Rourke's hair management system and his scalp is the most riveting part of this film, the rest is just a poor facsimile of a terrible film. I don't know what acting method the lead actor used but i'm guessing it was half an hour doing elvis poses in his underpants before each shoot.

    This film mercilessly puts its boot on the neck of quality and presses down hard.

    Best comedy of the year by far.

    I actually created an account for this. This is the best comedy of the year by far. Top notch acting. 🤣🤣🤣 The crowbar scenes were some of the best ever. I recommend this movie to get through these trying times. Go on give yourself a belly laugh. You won't regret it! 😄🤙
