Fun western but flawed. Still worth a shot
3 April 2022
If you like westerns and Jake Busey (big fan and it's criminal he's not in more) then you'll accept this film and watch it.

Action wasn't that good for a western but it wasn't the worst.

I enjoyed this film for what it was and I would recommend it only to big western fans.

7/10 - 7 because of the cast.

Hell yes

Hell yes I loved this film.

What a gem.

If this were to have come out years ago people would love it. Now they just want instant gratification and to be spoon fed.

Hartnett, Grillo and the tiny bit of screen time Leo gets are awesome.

Love this film.

Little slow at first but still really fun.
3 April 2022
The film gets a little slow but that makes sense because it's clearly inspired by old westerns like Shane and Hondo (two films with one cowboy guy protecting a woman and child in a dangerous west environment).

I'm a big Neal McDonough fan. Grew up watching Band of Brothers with my dad and later enjoyed him as a baddie in Walking Tall and Arrow. He was also in Resident evil, which I just saw and actually liked.

It was cool to see him be this western hero in a modern world.

Cinematography was awesome.

Loved the score.

Fun cast.

Some brilliant and fun action scenes (one with a spoon in a man's neck).

My only gripe is it was marketed as more of an action film and it's really a slow burn, which I do like a lot, but I can see action-fan boys and people who want carnage and gore throughout the run time to be a little let down.

Not at all as bad as these reviews are stating. Just a little slow but big payoff.

7/10.

Fun but not that strong
3 April 2022
It's fun. It's got Casper Van Dien doing some cool stuff and acting differently than he usually does.

The plot is not very good, that's for sure. Predictable and a little jumbled.

Could have been so much better.

Kudos for the 90s vibe. Reminded me of an old Adrynne Lynn film.

Not Bad. Not good.
3 April 2022
Not bad but not good.

Cusack and Hirsch are fun to watch.

They did a film called Never Grow Old and it was fantastic.

Thought this would be similar but it's not near as good.

Fun scenes and Cusack chews up the scenery. Hirsch is fun to see with tattoos and playing a much more serious role than usual.

Ok film.

Generous 6 out of 10 due to my fan boy love of Cusack.

Not as bad as they say but not that good either
3 April 2022
Not nearly a 3 score for me. More like 5.

Then again, I personally am not a hater and dislike every film.

The film has major flaws. But Mel Gibson and Cole Hauser are awesome.

I think it was marketed so badly because it leads you to believe it's more action than it really is.

It's espionage and a little bit of action.

This is a turn-your-brain-off film.

I recommend for fans of Cole Hauser.

5/10.

Better than the older films
3 April 2022
7/10

Let me start off by saying I came across this on an airplane and I really enjoyed it.

Was it the best cast? No. Was it the scariest film ever? No.

But it was extremely true to the game and the fans have to love it!

I know I did.

Was so much better than the Milla Jovovich films.

Those films took various essentials from the game universe but absolutely failed to follow the story. It was all action. Not one bit scary

With this one the director did a great job of freaking me out.

Solid action.

And as a bonus - I saw Buck Compton (Neal McDonough) was in it. I'm a big fan of his since Arrow. He was creepy!

Good, strong, fun and altogether horrific film.

Some flaws but way better than what people give it on this website.

7/10.

Bleak as heck
20 July 2021
Bleak as heck film I saw at Texas tHeater when it showed. This is the type of film that makes you think. I got to hear the producers talk about it for a few minutes afterwards and they seemed like they were really passionate about it. The camera and acting was great. I was surprised because I don't know any of the actors but holy s**t they were good!

Some people will not like it and some will love it. Not sure if I'll ever watch it again because it really was bleak but it's a good film. But i was interested the whole time and there were some really intense and scary scenes.
