Safeguard

Overambitious? Yes. Under budgeted? Yes. Completely enjoyable? Yes!

Not everything is designed to be scrutinised, dissected and critiqued to its dying breath. This movie is exciting, ominous, endearing and, at times, intriguing and even confusing. That's good! I was glued to the screen and enjoyed the ride, comedy and all. Just feel sorry for all the trolls and haters shaming every indie film out there. Shame on you. Find something better to do with your time or something else to butcher. Maybe your neighbour, if they aren't freaked out already by your demonic plague polluting this planet.

I'll jump straight to it. Good start, action packed then it kinda drifted a little and lost me around the whole family stuff. I ain't got a family no more so can't relate as they would never have looked out for me like that. It's a cruel world so whatever. Anyways, I think it needed to focus on just the baddies cos I kinda liked them. More of the spy stuff and knocking down doors for me. Too much soft soppy 'are you ok?' goose bosh that makes me cringe. But hey, that's just me. Maybe you like that emotional stuff and lets look out for the family kinda movie. Just the ending needed to go on a bit, you know, like lead somewhere. Maybe we find out that the Dad guy was in on it with the baddies. Who knows, who cares. I never like movie endings. Don't care if you disagree. I gotta beat. Peace.

Don't believe any of the negative reviews. I went into this flick expecting an average/so-so plot. Boy, was I WRONG! It's a great debut by director Fraser Precious who also shines in his role as a British gangster. It's not a perfect movie, but it's engaging and also has its funny moments, for me it's a solid 8.

I enjoyed the movie... as I enjoy most indie action thrillers. Have to admit got a little confusing at the end but aside from that, it was a well shot indie film with generally credible acting. Would have liked to seen more of Vincent and his boys as they were by far the best characters. Russian baddies were pretty entertaining. All in all, not bad for an indie flick but could have done with a bigger budget to do the action justice.

I watched this expecting an action thriller and it's mostly that. After watching it last night I must say I very much enjoyed it, and I dont understand why some whine over a film thats so subjective. If its not your taste, move on. It has a good storyline, solid acting, a well-designed set, and technically it doesnt fall short at all. Original and not too bad. As for the people who are unable to comprehend anything except a cliche typical black-and-white hollywood movie, please skip ahead and go watch a marvel movie or something. A well deserved 7 stars for Safeguard !!
