nice flick for MJW fans 🙂
Well…what can i say. It was fun to watch Michael Jai White in Action since i saw his movie “Blood and Bone”. Script was nice and White’s acting & especially action scenes were amazing. Like Steven Seagal’s movies, Michael Jai White’s movies also don’t get that much of a rating that they normally deserve but overall it was entertaining. Action/Fight scenes are worth watching and movie was a low budget but still it kept me on my seat till the end because of the main actor in leading role. i don’t know what to say here in the review because you all know the plot, so just watch it by yourself & then decide. But yeah…i can guarantee one thing that you won’t get bored out of this movie because whenever you feel like it’s gonna get a little boring; that’s where an action/fight scene pops in. 😀so, have fun watching this movie. i give it 6 out of 10, and yeah…plus 1 bonus point for Michael Jai White. 😛
Cheers 🙂
EITHER SHOOT ME OR STOP WASTING MY TIME
****CONTAINS GENERIC PLOT SPOILERS****Johnny Chapman (Michael Jai White) is a PTSD vet who is off his meds. He is suicidal, but works out just in case. He lives in NYC and is visited by his sister Cindy (Laila Ali) who pops in from Brazil so they can go to dinner together, and then back she goes.
Cindy is a volunteer worker who gets bludgeoned in Brazil. Chapman (aka Falcon) now has a reason to live as he goes after the bad guys in Rio, a city that has great stock footage scenery, but has most of the action take place in a small section of the slums. In spite of that, it was a welcomed change from the Mideast and Bulgaria. At this point the film goes super formula as we add elements of Patrick Swayze, Charles Bronson, child prostitution ring (hasn’t been done enough yet) crooked cops, and yes the Yakuza who sneak up on armed people, brandishing a sword and while yelling. Won’t tell you how that works out.
My biggest shock was that Neal McDonough as an actual good guy and not the Chechen “Albino Assassin.” How did they miss that? Maybe in the next one as this appears to be the first in a series of films…depending on profits. Good formula writing for those who like the vigilante thing.
Parental Guidance: No sex or nudity. No F-bombs that I recall. Some adult themes and language (punta) most of which was in Portuguese.
