Blowback

The movie could have used a better script and character journeys. A lot of these reviews knock the script which is true but the acting isn't bad. Michele Plaia is a fresh new talent and a baddie with some great range. Cam Gigandet was solid for most of the movie. I enjoyed the love triangle and would have liked to see more of the relationships driving the movie direction.

If you have absolutely nothing to do with your time or you're just having a hard time falling asleep and you don't mind watching a bunch no talent having actors, with a poorly writing script and a ridiculously predictable film, then have a crack at Blowback. This was by far one of the lamest films I've watched because it was late and I needed to something to help me fall asleep.

Ok The bad Both Randy Couture and Louis Mandylor are awful actors, I'm not sure when it became essential that if you are good in the UFC you automatically are made a movie star, Holloway, Rousey, Couture and Bisping to name a few, Both of the above should be in hallmark movies, if any, they are not even B actors

The Good To say this is a direct to streaming B movie, the overall story and premise are good, I quite enjoyed the movie and to say that it's cheap and cheerful with uncostly supporting cast I think that says a lot

The Brilliant Cam Gigandet He is given the lead role in a cheap B movie and is absolutely head and shoulders above the rest, regardless of how much he was paid he has given his best and shows that he should be in more A movies, he takes what he is given and makes it a stellar performance, i couldn't believe how impressive he was and he should now have put himself in the shop window as a bankable asset to any movie, look no further if you want someone who will put their heart and soul into any role they are given.

This movie doesht deserve him, so the fact he gave such a good showing should propel him into more lucrative roles However I feer it won't as this will go under the radar.

A B-rated action flick that was simply lacking. The movie had potential but simply fails to deliver. The acting for the most part was mediocre at best, although the protagonist lead delivered better than most. Although Couture is not a great actor by any means he simply falls flat in this movie. The script is below par but the dialogue comes across as mostly believable. The cinematography was fine. Directing was lacking. Nothing new in terms of a story - a guy with a past doing the wrong things for the right reasons. Given the cast the movie certainly could have delivered more. Overall it is watchable, but very forgettable.

The film was a waste of film, and time. After watching how things played out throughout the movie, I kept shaking my head waiting for how the various characters were motivated, and how they made the choices they made to make some sense. Throughout the movie I felt like something essential was missing which was hard to explain except for it being the time I wasted watching this turkey. I find reviews that give this an ok rating for action, or anything else hard to comprehend. Except to say this was time spent in which I felt the loss of a chance to do something interesting; instead I watched this.
