The Hard Way

I think the director got the wrong script. Or maybe he got the right script but it was the first draft. I mean holly ***** . Nothing seems to be right in the film. Every scene is full of comedy. I mean it. Its like they have taken out all scenes from a video game. Remember old playstation 2 games? Like Driv3r and GTA san andreas and that stuff? Its like those scenes. But really like I said its just comedy. You watch and laugh. I think if this film gets enough attention it will turn to be a classic movie. Just like The Room

My wife and I enjoyed it. I was entertained and that is all that matters. If there was bad acting I did not see it. Yes there are a thousand movies with the same story line. But all movies are the same, different time, different places, different actors. Also seems to me that a lot of reviewers have very negative attitudes to everything. I find within ten minutes of watching a film I can tell if is going to entertain me, and I turn it off if it does not. Why sit through a movie if you do not like it and then criticise it. Strange.

Yes you'll find quite an abundance in cliches here. And yes the dialog will never be considered Oscar or any other award there is - worthy. But that is not what you are signing up for here. You sign up for an action movie and the stunts themselves are more than decent. Not exceptional or amazingly awesome or whatever else, but not dissapointing either.

And while I get if some of the acting may be considered weak, that is never the case with Michael Jai White. And I'm not saying that because I am afraid that if one day I may meet him, he's going to kick my ass but because he really has gravitas. Now would I like to see him in something with more substance like Black Dynamite more often? You bet I would, but until then, I am content with stuff like this movie

(2019) The Hard Way ACTION THRILLER

I do not hate or loathe this movie as many of the users here since I thought the fight scenes are nicely done and to top it off it does have a happy ending. It's production value is better than many of the current low budget movies Jean Claude Van Damme as of late and Steven Seagal movies.

Co-written and directed by Keoni Waxman that has former Ops guy and NY bar owner, John Payne (Michael Jai White) finds out his brother, Cody Payne (Grant Campbell) killed while on duty while he and his partner, Mason Bellows (Luke Goss) were pursuing a criminal syndicate operating on the streets of Bucharest, Romania.

Bad- wish I could watch it but I can't. You can make bad movies in America. Save the airline ticket money to Romania and put it into screen writing.
