RATING: R

MOVIE REVIEW MOM GRADE: C-

IN A NUTSHELL:

A methamphetamine cook hunts down the former Police chief of a small town in order to silence him before he can deliver eyewitness testimony against his family but ultimately finds himself up against more than he had bargained for.

THINGS I LIKED:

I’ve been a fan of Bruce Willis for decades. I’m so sorry to hear that he has been diagnosed with Aphasia. All of his latest movies seem to be a cash grab before he’s no longer to make movies anymore and they’ve all been terrible. Even still, I completely understand his desire to stay in the game as long as he can. There were a few times when I could see his performance affected by his health issues. I’m disappointed that he’s not choosing better scripts and film projects but I absolutely wish him well.
The soundtrack is good but often overpowers what’s happening on the screen. The director, Mike Burns, used to be a music supervisor, so I can see why the music is such a big part of the movie.

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:

I hate it when people who are obviously dead seem to turn up alive later on.
So much Botox and plastic surgery.
The villains are really stupid. They’re more annoying than truly dangerous. There is sort of a comical “Home Alone” feeling to the villains.
A woman who has been going through cancer treatments has a full head of long hair. Now, I know that not all cancer treatments result in hair loss, but they didn’t even try to make this woman look sick.
Some bad acting moments.
Fake-looking blood.
There are some attempts at humor, but none of them really land.
The action sequences are pretty lame.
