Alarum

I had the whole time the feeling that it's a comedy. A bluff, it made me laugh countless times. It was like a manual of how to NOT make a movie.

Not a single positive thing. Not a single logical thing. It is impossible for a movie script to make absolutely no sense, not even a single second.

So that's why i believe was made as an undercover comedy.

"We are here not to unleash chaos but to define it" is the most idiotic line ever written. Especially that he said it after he killed people of his own team... And also when he got a shot on the actual target of that chaos he simply didn't kill him...

Absolutely written badly on purpose.

My opinion...

I am still trying to understand why...

Horrible!!! I bet even the director himself didn't watch this movie. If he had, he would've stopped it from being released. The script is a mess, the acting is amateurish, and the editing looks like it was done by someone who just discovered video software. The dialogue is cringeworthy, and the pacing makes it unbearable to sit through. Even a 12-year-old with a smartphone could create a better movie. This isn't just a bad film, it's an insult to cinema. Save yourself the time and avoid Alarum at all costs! And my final note to the director: Dear Michael please find yourself another job, this is the proof you are not for this job.

Despite having Scott Eastwood and Stallone, this film is ponderous. Eastwood hardly seems enthusiastic, and really doesn't give the impression of having once been a top agent. Stallone is beginning to creak, and he struggles physically with this action picture, which should have been much tighter.

Mike Colter deserves a shout out. His villain is cold, calculating and murderousy believable, but he is wasted in this calamity. The shootouts are just not believable, Eastwood seems to be missable at every opportunity and during his first gunfight, he has a machine gun that never needs reloading!

Willa Fitzgerald holds it together rather well, but isn't able to rescue this mess.

This movie is soooo bad, it felt like watching a high school project. Acting is an absolute amateur hour, and the dialogs are top of the line cringe material. I watched 30 minutes of this garbage and i feel intelectualy violated and insulted. For someone to peddle this mess as a "movie worthy of an audience", makes me realise that they don't really care about creating quality entertainment or even about what audience thinks, they just need to put new trash in our face from time to time to keep the streaming platform memberships going. The recipe is this: 1-2 big hollywood names for top dollar, other actors for cheap, and locations you can get for a few bucks, and a trash script with a newbie director. Total budget 1-2 mil. Max. And just keep pumping that garbage out month after month.

How can a movie production have all these good actors and still manage to make such a terrible movie. Directors do not get enough credit and this movie proves it. The acting is bad, the fight scenes are terrible you can see them waiting for one another to make a move with poor reactions to getting hit., the stunts are terrible. Maybe Stallone, Eastwood, and Colter owed someone new producer or director a favor? This movie should have a warning label letting viewers know they are going to be severely disappointed. It leaves you very curious as to why they would agree to participate in such a poorly conceived idea.
