Get Fast

Not the best of movies but still a lot of fun, plays like a video game mostly with canned characters all after a couple bags of money. Lots of action, gunplay, several groups of bad guys all against each other and all about the cash. Some good humor , nothing questionable, no nudity or foul language, a great movie to pass the time if you can't think of something else to see. The ice cream truck driver is great in this and totally believable as he copes with his stress by saying jellybean over and over as he musters the courage to make it through. Ok for the kiddos if you don't mind some violence and a little blood.

I recently watched Get Fast (2024) and overall, it's a decent action film. The story is simple but has enough moments to keep you engaged. What I really liked was the performance of the actor who played the drug addict. His acting felt raw and very realistic, probably the best part of the movie for me.

The action scenes were okay, nothing too new or spectacular, but still enjoyable if you're an action fan. The direction was average and the storyline could have been more original. Still, it never felt boring and managed to keep my attention till the end.

Not the best action film of the year, but definitely watchable. Love from India.

My Rating: 3.5/5 or 5/10.

I obviously looked at the IMDB rating prior to watching this. My buddy & I were bored, and said.. Why not? Some reviews say it's better than what you think.

Well guess what. This movie is awful. DO NOT WATCH IT. It's not entertaining nor action packed. It is plain silly.

Camera work is terrible. Acting work is terrible. Not even a good movie to kill time.

This is the first review I have ever written on a movie. I have done it out of good faith to those who may think, yeah let's give this movie a chance. I am also writing this in the movie theatre while it's running.

PS: Popcorn wasn't that good either, Thought I'd mention this too because why not. Lol.

It's called "Get Fast" I was expecting car chases. There's barely two and with a cool car for like 10 seconds. It does seem like everyone was trying their best. The sound isnt bad for a movie this low budget. The editors look like they really cared as there was attention to certain details I was surprised by. The muzzle flashes are reminiscent of, but not as good as, what Freddie Wong was doing on YouTube in 2012. Lou Diamond Phillips does a pretty good job but that actual seems kind of out of place in this mess. It's a shame, a bit more story coherence a some polishing up and could've been quite fun.

The Thief is back. James Clayton once again directs and stars as the thief who along with his partner stole some cash from a ruthless drug lord called Nushi.

She does not like people stealing from her. She has in her pocket goons, corrupt cops and a hitman called the Cowboy (Lou Diamond Phillips.) They also have the Thief's partner.

So the Thief has to come to the rescue in an ice cream van with a nervous young man in tow who keeps mentioning jelly babies when he is nervous.

Get Fast is a direct to streaming B movie. It has a well worn plot, good production values but many of the characters are caricatures you have seen countless times before.
