Vendetta (2022)
90 minutes I'll never get back.
Don't waste your time. It was the exact plot of Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon, but at least Death Sentence was watchable. I really found myself rooting for the bad guys just so the movie would be over. The dialogue was horrible and I have seen better acting in 70s porn. You know the movie is in trouble when Mike Tyson gives one of the better performances.
If the plot sounds interesting, watch Death Sentence or even better, Law Abiding Citizen.
Josie Jane: Kill the Babysitter (2020)
I was rooting against the babysitter
Horrible movie. Silly plot. Horrible acting. I was actually rooting for the bad guys. Like Who's Next with none of the character development, thrills twists or satisfying kills. Don't waste your time.
Blood and Love (2010)
You have to be kidding me
Found this on YouTube. Watched the first two minutes. WORST ACTING EVER! Looked like it was shot on a cheap video camera. Turned it off with a shiver. There were three actors (including he "star") in the first two minutes - each worse than the previous.
Syndicate Smasher (2017)
It was like watching a train wreck
Watching Syndicate Smasher was like watching a bad train wreck. I couldn't turn away. I'm not even sure there was a plot. As an example, there was a scene where a cop or a private detective gets shot in the trunk of a car. He had a small part in the movie and there was never any explanation as to who he was or why he was killed. Frankly, it wasn't even worth rewinding to find out.
The acting was wooden. Where did they dig up this old fossil? It looked like he had horrible plastic surgery or was burned in a fire. I was looking forward to his back story so I could find out. Surprise! He had none. Just that he was "ex special forces."
One big shootout. Well, actually multiple shoot outs, but who cares? They all blended together due to the lack of plot. The "good guys" could just stand out in the open and shoot without a bullet coming near them. No one even got a scratch.
On the plus side, they did have some pretty awesome weapons. Put to good use???? Hell no. There was one scene with one of the "good guys" shooting a mounted Gatling gun. Who knows where it came from? But he could just cut down bad guys left and right and no one could seem to hit him even though he was standing out in the open.
To say the characters were two dimensional would be to give them too much credit. The team consisted of the old fossil, a token Asian, a token woman and several others whom I already forgot. As for the woman on their "team," I don't know where her accent was from, but it was annoying right off the bat. Another one impervious to bullets. She looked like it was her first time firing a gun, yet she never missed. And she too stood out in the open without getting a scratch. Then there was this courageous "police woman" who was just as bad. Large breasts, but about 60 years old. And when it came time for the big shootout, she forgot to load her gun! She was out of bullets before she even fired a shot!!! After she was saved, however, she picked up an M16 and started blowing away bad guys. Never missed and, you guessed it, she stood right out in the open, firing away, and no one hit her. I'd swear the bad guys were firing blanks!
The movie doesn't even work as a comedy. Like I said, a train wreck.
Instant Death (2017)
Dumbest movie ever
Sorry, my title says it all. Dumbest movie ever. Ferrigno's acting and "martial arts" are wooden. (And that's being generous.) He can walk in and out of secure areas, just by sneaking around corners. When he decides to throw his guns away, the bad guys forget their guns and come at him with fists. It was so bad it wasn't even laughable. His daughter, who had her eyes cut out, was the luckiest one in the film. She didn't have to watch it.
I don't doubt it took them two seconds to come up with the title and probably less to come up with the script, if there even was a script.
