I am having a really bad night with films; having just finished watching my 3rd absolutely load of rubbish film in a row...this one, 'RELENTLESS (2021) and a swedish film called, 'RED DOT' (2021).
The acting in 'The Gardener' was stiff (due to an awful script) and the fight choreography rates as some of the worst I have ever seen...and I have seen a lot! Charles Bronzi (the headliner star) - the Charles Bronson lookalike - is making films akin to Charles Bronsons, "DEATH WISH" series of films from director Michael Winner. The difference is he doesn't have that same on screen presence that Bronson had and the films are badly scripted/directed rubbish etc! Gary Daniels is the other star and as per usual, with his screen appearances, he was dull and unimpressive. He is a well known Martial Artist and has made films of that ilk for many years now. I have no idea what he is really like as a fighter - as I have never seen him fight in real life - but he is an extremely boring fighter in his films; with no originality or decent onscreen style whatsoever.
The result of both parties being in this film is therefore a guaranteed tedious load of dross!
If you have nothing to do go and find something else to do...but don't watch this if you are needing some good cinematic entertainment!
