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.

What you nailed together.

It's okay that you didn't have much money, but then please make more of it and don't waste it on another cheaply produced action film.

The actors have charisma but little talent.

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.

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.

Have to agree with some of the other reviewers that Couture is HORRIBLE. Dude cannot act and in this type of flick it stands out. The rest of the cast was good except Mandylor and the black FBI actor who was a clown.. Mandylor has never been better than B-Movie casting anyway.

Like I said in my title, not a horrible movie but a strange plot that isn't very believable but standard fare I guess for these type movies. Wasn't worth $7 but if you can see it for free then it's 'ok' if you got nothing else to watch.
