Loss Prevention

The premise of "Loss Prevention" is "What if two rival corporations throw out all notions of ethics and legality to pursue their profit-hunger to the nth degree, to where cold-blooded, high-tech warfare is A-OK ... so long as the bottom-line ultimately shows black?" "Loss Prevention" takes this premise and smashes it out of the park. I cannot ask more from an indie film: sharp and funny dialogue, explosive scenes of violence that are believable but not too graphic for my admittedly delicate soul, and great acting. Ah, what superb acting ...

I love the father-daughter chemistry between Murphy and Nik (Al Snow and Abisha Uhl) as well as the sexually-tense chemistry between Brook (Lauren Albert) and Nik. And you have to go back to Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber to find a sociopath as chilling as John Wells's Boland. Also, watch for a brief but spooky appearance by Vernon Wells as CEO Reginald Bachman.

"Loss Prevention" is the real deal, and I can't wait to catch more films cooked up by the collaboration of Brian Cunningham (writer / director / cinematographer), Matt Niehoff (writer / director), and Nic Brown (writer / producer.) Well done, folks!

This is not a good film, so if you decide not to watch then you make a wise descision, because its a sin to make bad movies like this. it has a story, but the technical quality of the work is so bad. just check the light angles and youll understand.

when noticing that 60% of the cast is also on the crew list, then a bell starts ringing.. the grumpy old man thinks that brian is cunning us all, and therefore will get tuna instead of ham on the bread for the rest of his life, its cunningly well done mr cunningham, you stole a part of my life tonight. defnately not recommended.

It's an independent movie that asks "what if Die Hard but lesbian." There's a comically wonderful level of cheesiness, too, with over the top amounts of bullets flying, improbable MacGyver improvised defenses, and even a Wilhelm Scream. Even some of the trailers lean into it; Revry shared one that recut it as lesbian dating advice.

If you're looking for the polish of the major studio productions then move on. As a rule: if queer people are any significant part of the film or series it's not going to have the budget for that. The production levels are fantastic compared to a lot of queer and, in particular, lesbian media that exists and even is being produced today.

I enjoyed this independent film more than some big-budget films with star-studded casts! A bartender with plans for bigger and better things (Abisha Uhl) is working in her father's bar when the woman of her dreams walks in, and her troubles really begin. My favorite character in this film was Murphy, the bar owner, played to perfection by Al Snow. Action film fans should watch out for Vernon Wells (best known for Wez in "The Road Warrior" and Bennett in "Commando.") late in the film. Enjoy!

Loss Prevention is not a terrible low budget action-ish movie. I've seen far worse from the WWE studio. But it's certainly not a "10", either. Good shootouts, decent acting, one major continuity gaff, and acceptable writing. Except for the overuse of the "corporate America bad" trope. In the end, it's worth a watch.
