Echo Effect (2015)
Very low budget and disappointing.
I'm a fan of Michael Jai White and he's a decent actor in some things - The Dark knight but his real drawing point is his fighting skill like in Undisputed 2 and Blood and Bone so I expected lots of cool fighting amongst low budget B movie fun. I didn't get that. This movie contains very little action and does not do a good job of showcasing White's skills which I find stupid considering the people who are going to watch this movie will want to see that.
The plot isn't all that bad to be honest, but it's just not backed up with anything meaningful. The director fails to create any tension or excitement which makes the short running time, 88 minutes really drag.
Steve Austin looks like he would be an awesome match up, a huge imposing guy and the idea that he goes toe to toe with White was an exciting prospect. But here he looks out of shape and he's supposed to a deadly assassin. A missed opportunity.
Survivor (2015)
Expected better
This is not a bad movie, it's just not as good as it could have been. Bronson is a great actor and I was excited to see him playing a deadly assassin after his time as Bond. I thought he was a great James Bond. I am also a fan of Mila Jovovich but she's not really allowed to kick ass in this movie, neither is Bronson for that matter. But he is initially a cool and intriguing character, known as The Watchmaker because her blows things up.
The story is fairly straight forward, with Mila, forced to go on the run after being targeted by an assassination in one of the best on screen explosions that i have seen in a while. This was great and was a perfect introduction for Bronson's characters. After this the assassin, Bronson goes after her to kill her. I wanted the pair to go toe to toe but they don't, instead Mila runs, a lot and Bronson chases, a lot. The sewer chase scene was the perfect place for a showdown but it never really happens. This was the problem I had, the set pieces were not thrilling enough, just competent.
Wrong Turn VI (2014)
Low budget and pretty bad.
SPOILERS.
I managed to check this out. I'm not overly familiar with the franchise, I have only seen the first and second. But this movie was not very good interms of direction and acting and it looks very low budget, but if you like OTT kills then I'm sure gore hounds will find a lot of like there is some sex.
The storyline is actually quite fleshed out for a part 6 of a franchise movie and the lead character has a good characters arc with Danny a former wall street shark who is recovering from a breakdown who doesn't know anything about his past only to then discovers that he has inherited a hotel. He heads to the hotel with his girlfriend in a search to discover who he really is in the guise of a new start, but lets just say he may not like what he discovers...
Like i said there are plenty of gruesome kills for gore hounds, the air hose is particularly nasty but there is not much in the form tension, it's all in your face gore and OTT kills which is fine if that's your sort of thing. There are no scares or any surprises.
Lastly the acting is pretty bad, sans for the lead actor who played Danny.
