Aftermath

I cant find much wrong with this film and in its action genre it is decent enough. I haven't seen a lot of Dylan sprouses acting as its mostly his brother cole that I see but he was good here and it would be nice to see them both star together in an action film. I would say he dosnt come off as the action type but that actual helps in making his character seem more inconspiciois. He plays Eric, a former solider who gets ptsd and while driving with his sister madalian they get in a hostage situation with others on a bridge in order to kidnap a lady named doc from a prison transport van. The entirity of most the film is set on this particular bridge so its nice to watch it progress and show eric standing up. A good action movie overall with good kickassing action.

The villain was horrible. I've seen better acting in my tiny high school drama plays. Cheesy action movie sure, but was half watchable. Mason ruined the whole thing because he was completely unbelievable with every line he said. Decent action. Decent damsel in distress. Decent hero. Great action and visuals. But the villian was absolutely atrocious. I hope I never see this actor in another film ever. Literally every other aspect of the movie was built for a fun shoot em up action movie. Movie was fun except for the scenes where mason has any dialogue. I'd rather see papa Smurf or Barney or the Duolingo animation as the villian and it would be more believable.

Am currently bed bound and was seeking something to pass the time, well let me say first, I think would of rather have looked at the ceiling than watch this film, the trailer looked good(don't they all though) but from about 10 mins in you could tell this film was heading south, I hoped the premise of the film would be a kind of Die Hard scenario, but it is anything but, Ok there is an handsome lead, but a handsome lead doe not make it a good film, The CGI in this film is second rate and it looks like they hired me to do their special effects, I really would like to say something positive about this film, and I don't want to give away any spoilers in case you chose to view,if you wanna watch it by all means do but have your expectations low and you will be ok.

The rating of this movie is what happens when you have a fandom, this movie is a 2 and nothing more.

I watched because of Sprouse and my god this makes sharknado look great.

This is worse than those b movies by asylum.

There is no reason for this movie to get anything over 2 stars.

The Story: yeah no.

Acting: seems like some people were in a hurry. The young girl is an adult which made a horrendous opening scene a bit more digestible. Still who ever put that scene in needs to be looked into.

VFX: pretty damn decent for what this movie is.

Sound design: really good for the most part.

Cinematography: excellent in many cases

I want to forget that I watched this movie and never talk or think about it.

Not a fan of the story and honestly the acting was very cringy at times. Hard to watch without laughing at times. Mason Gooding was very over the top and reaching at times with his performance, did not enjoy watching him act what so ever. This was a very bad attempt to recreate die hard lol. Bridge scene so un realistic, why would a groups of criminals want to lock down a bridge where they have no exit and purposely allow them selves to get surrounded l even if they were making a statement. Poor concept, poor story line, poor acting, just over all not a movie I will ever watch again. Normally don't leave reviews but this one was tough to watch.
