What a mess. Riddled with plot issues, long dragged out scenes, ridiculous and unnecessary dialogue, and a cheesy unorganized story that a 5th-grader would write. Cinematography was the only decent part, and the score not bad for a B-grade film. The director failed at directing his cast, that even the seasoned B-actors seemed like it was their first acting gig. I'm a fan of Luke Goss, and this was his worst film. Val Kilmer seemed drunk and bored throughout. I struggled to stay awake. Huge pass.

This is poorly written film that tries to be slick like a Guy Ritchie film; but what you get is a messy story with bad performances and cheesy dialogue that doesn't land as either cool or funny.

The music is desperately thrown in as a mismatched selection. The scenes are edited in a haphazardly thrown together like a random pile of dirt.

3/10 an awful experience.

In a word, awful. Amateurish and 100% not worth your time.

This movie is just dirt. Since it's a short film I thought it would be captivating from start to finish. But the opposite is true. It's hard to watch this one all the way to the end. The acting is very bad. The story is simple and the execution dull and without humor. This is not recommended.

I've sat through some pretty mediocre stuff because it cost less than 2 bucks via Redbox, was free online or because I had nothing else to do. But this piece of crap wasn't even worth leaving it turned on. Who wrote this, a stoned 12 year old? And it must've been produced by the same sort of person. Meaningless, pointless, stupid and inconsequential barf. I am never this critical but if you're going to create something, at least have the pride and integrity to TRY to make it good.

This movie dragged n it was so bad I dozed off twice.

The plot is transparent. The acting is horrendous. The antihero squad members are named The Brit, The Brawn, The Brain, The Babe, and The Badass. The surprise twist at the end was so clever that you probably didn't figure it out until about four minutes into the movie. I paid $6 to watch this thing, and I feel completely ripped off.

Good for you, Val! Not blockbuster status, but at least it makes a valiant attempt!

Poor script, poor acting and a rambling plot (or lack of) leave this a very disappointing show. Not worth the effort.

Ok-not made on iPhone. That's an insult to why an iPhone can do.

Really embarrassing, mostly for Val Kilmer, and his daughter, who clearly can't act. Which is amazing, given she is supposed to be playing his daughter. Zero attempt has been made to even make Val's dub remotely sound like him. He barely looks like he wants to be there, and the dubbing is rubbish. His appearance is hard to not be distracted by, and the embarrassing camera angles (shots behind his back while he's speaking) are just sad.

Also, it's just boring.

I'm assuming they made this whole movie over a long weekend, the only thing worse than the writing was the acting but the directing wasn't far behind. Awful movie like most that have been farted out the past 3 years!

Easily the biggest pile of dross I've ever watched. Thankfully it's not even a 90 minute film.

I put this on not expecting an Oscar winner but just an easy 90 mins watch. It was not. Scenes dragged on and I lost interest.

I did not enjoy Val Kilmers 'performance' if that's what you can call it.

The writing is a little cheesy and cringe. I think everyone involved knows this and it's why they try to be so tongue and cheek.

I was originally drawn to this film because of Luke Goss and he does have some screen presence to be fair.

There were a couple of positives for example I like how they introduce each person - very Quentin Tarantino esque- however the names where a little cringe which went along nicely with the writing I've already mentioned.

I liked the cutaways, which reminded me of family guy.

Some nice visuals and musical background.

A film which has all the elements and the potential to be good which doesn't really achieve it as best it could which is a shame.

The only thing I have to say is WTF HAPPENED TO VAL KILMER???

The most boring movie I've ever seen.I can't say nothing else about it..Just terrible

This morning when I awoke I was thinking to myself " self, we need to watch a film with absolute talent. One that takes advantage of every possible movie trope known to man." Wow! I am simply blown away by everyones performance in this Oscar winning masterpiece. I can't say enough about the hidden chemistry between each of the Academy Award nominees. The thespians who graced my flat screen.have brought such joy and fulfillment to my life. The crazy thing is there is this cat that keeps meandering around my front porch. Every day I have to clean hair off of my favorite sitting space. I think I know who's cat it is but I'm not sure? My wife absolutely loved this work of art and I knew I was going to be seeing more of her that night.

First off, I want to say, "Sorry, Mr. Kilmer". You've played some very memorable roles, of which I have fond memories.

That said, my main beef with this Ocean's 11 knockoff is not that they didn't introduce and develop the characters; they did that, minimally. It's that they did not ever seem to utilize the strengths of each role that they built up in the beginning. Not sure if the writers ran out of steam, or if the producers said, "Meh, 90 minutes is enough", but there wasn't enough time for a plot.

This movie is so boring I kept checking every 5 minutes to see how much time was left. Felt like a 4 hour movie. Acting was terrible, plot was terrible. Renting this garbage was a waste of money.

Well, this 2020 crime thriller from writer and director Christian Sesma was a pretty straight forward movie experience. Maybe to the point where it became overly generic.

The storyline was adequate, although it didn't really offer anything new or overly innovative to the genre. In fact, there was nothing much here in "Paydirt" that haven't been seen in previous similar movies. That sort of kept the movie back a bit.

The characters in the movie were adequate, but it just felt a bit underplayed. I feel that most characters could have been much more interesting if they were given more in-depth personalities and stories.

They did, however, have an adequate assembly of casted actors and actresses. Normally, I am not much of a fan of Luke Goss, but he actually carried "Paydirt" quite well. And I was expecting Val Kilmer to have more of a bigger role, as he was listed on the front cover/poster of the movie. And truth be told, the movie's cover/poster was actually interesting, and it was the reason why I ended up sitting down to watch it.

There was an okay amount of action in the movie, which definitely helped to make the movie watchable and keep the otherwise generic and mundane storyline afloat.

All in all, this is just another run-of-the-mill crime thriller. So if you enjoy that genre, then chances are that you will find enjoyment in "Paydirt". I found the movie to be mediocre entertainment actually. As such, my rating of the movie lands on a five out of ten stars.

One of the worst movies i have watched this year. Soo bad that i couldnt sit enough to complete the movie. A combo of bad directing, acting, and screenplay. If you are planning to watch this, trust me, save your time for something more worthwhile.

This is a dreadful piece of schlock, and you should skip it. The fact that they could dub a voice in for Kilmer does not justify subjecting him to material this badly inspired, poorly written, or abysmally directed. The story is stupid. The characters are caricatures of bad cliches, and the voice they dubbed in for Kilmer is dreadful.

I stayed with it out of respect for Kilmer, but this movie is hideous, and it should never be aired again. If you can see it for free, skip it. If someone offers to pay you to sit through it, know that no amount of cash is worth the damage it will do to your psyche to be subjected to filmmaking this hideous. They should use forced watching of this movie as punishment for shoplifting.

It was good to see my hero Val Kilmer up and acting again, even if this project should be buried in the desert, so I gave it three stars. Dreadful.

It is at least that bad, and I'm probably being generous.
