Final Kill

I am just wondering and asking myself how it must feel to make terrible films all the time.

This entire movie felt like a poorly done ripoff of a Quentin Tarantino film. It was predictable with lots of bad acting (which I have to believe is due to the writing and directing more than (most of) the actors. Had I not paid for it I wouldn't have even finished watching, it was that bad.

Final Kill is a low budget action film that tells the story of Mickey Rome (portrayed by Ed Morrone) who is a mercenary hired by Camila (portrayed by Anita Leeman Torres) and Ray (portrayed by Edward Finlay) to protect them in Costa Rica after they go into hiding for stealing money from the mob. Mickey has a perfect record on protecting his clients and plans to do one more job before he officially retires.

Surprisingly, my favorite part of this film was not the action but rather the comedy. I thought Mickey's character added a lot of humor to the film.

However, where the film lacked was in the story and action. The story never really delves into who the mob is, who is the company that Mickey works for, what is the outcome for Camila and Ray. Rather, the film ends on a cliffhanger surrounding Mickey without really answering any questions. In addition, the action in the film is pretty bad. I appreciated that Mickey was not superhuman and showed normal injuries. However, there are a couple scenes where he definitely should've been done and somehow was able to take the enemy down.

Another minor issue I had was Danny Trejo was on a poster I saw for the film but only has a few minutes in the film.

For these reasons I would rate the film a 3/10. If you want to watch a B-movie action comedy it's not horrible but it's not a great film.

A security firm appoints an old and erratic bodyguard to protect a couple who takes billions dollars with accounting fraud. Everything going right till a breach in firms' another appointment which turns in wrong turn. Story is simple but good acting by Rome is bind you till end. Not so good nor so bad only once time watchable for a different kind of bodyguard's assignment.

This film was probably made on a budget of around £1000. However, if you see past the cheapness of it, it's a watchable shoot em and punch the crap out of em kind of film. It passed a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon....
