Armstrong (2017)
5/10
Nothing Good Ever Happens Under a Bridge.
5 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Lauren (Vicky Jeudy) has had a rough life and has decided to become an EMT so she can help people. This is her first night on the job as Eddie (Jason Antoon) her partner listens to late night crazy AM radio. Now we basically knows what happens as the opening needlessly shows us clips of all the action scenes in reverse chronological order with a time stamp, something that makes no sense to do. After an explosion, they run into Dave Armstrong (Shawn Parsons) a man with a weapon attached to his right arm spouting the same conspiracy theories as on the AM radio.

Not to give away too much, but instead of helping people, ex-junkie, I seriously need a Xanax, Lauren must step up and save the world. The film leads us to believe there are more films to come.

This is a low budget Sc-fi film which talks place mostly in an EM van and under a bridge. It had some special effects which I suspect was all CG except for the plastic arm with lights. The characters were not lovable and I didn't find myself rooting for them as much as the nuclear explosions and earthquakes so I could see some real action. Could have been worse. The film needed a name actor and better dialogue.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity
