So bad I can't believe it even has a rating above 5
5 August 2023
This movie is so bad on so many levels. Adam Brody in this role is comical. From the first moment he arrives on screen I was laughing. His fake tattoos and whiny voice just really cracked me up. You could tell right away they wanted him to be "the bad guy" but that added to the comedy.

The fact that the other lead male actor on the film (whose name I don't recall, Matt...??) did not even attempt to overpower such a wimpy excuse for a man was also comical. This other guy was significantly larger and also a much better actor, by the way. Between him and the two other files they easily could've overpowered Adam with his handgun. I can't believe the directors ever thought this casting would work. I guess Adam takes what he can't get since the OC and I thought his performance in Shazam would've helped his career, but I guess his ability is limited likely due to his horrid voice and annoying persona.

Leighton Meester (or whatever her name is) looked worn out, old, and just plain out of place in this film compared to the other women in the film. She had the same look on her face the entire time but barely did nothing to develop any type of character. I'm guessing they cast her because of her "name".

I never wrote reviews on here but felt so offended by this horrid film that I had to add my two sense. If you do decide to watch, please come back to let us know how horrible you thought it was. Because I am certain that's what you'll say. Trash, right up to the very end.
