Blowback

Have to agree with some of the other reviewers that Couture is HORRIBLE. Dude cannot act and in this type of flick it stands out. The rest of the cast was good except Mandylor and the black FBI actor who was a clown.. Mandylor has never been better than B-Movie casting anyway. Like I said in my title, not a horrible movie but a strange plot that isn't very believable but standard fare I guess for these type movies. Wasn't worth $7 but if you can see it for free then it's 'ok' if you got nothing else to watch.

Blowback adds refreshing twists to the bank heist genre. Cam Gigandet and Randy Couture are great, but the real scene-stealer is Michele Plaia - she's one to look out for and I expect to see her in more moving forward.

The film was a waste of film, and time. After watching how things played out throughout the movie, I kept shaking my head waiting for how the various characters were motivated, and how they made the choices they made to make some sense. Throughout the movie I felt like something essential was missing which was hard to explain except for it being the time I wasted watching this turkey. I find reviews that give this an ok rating for action, or anything else hard to comprehend. Except to say this was time spent in which I felt the loss of a chance to do something interesting; instead I watched this.

If you have a thing for B-Action movies (or whatever you would call them), then you will have fun with this one. And of course no pun intended with my summary line. Just riffing on the title as you can clearly see I reckon. That all being said, the cast exists with some very interesting people and choices. Some of whom you probably know or have heard about. This is not a masterclass in acting and you probably have seen better action movies too (god I do hope you have), but that doesn't make this a lesser experience - suspension of disbelief and all that included or a pre-requisite of course. There are some twists along the way that may make this better ... on the other hand, they also may make it worse. Just know what is being served and ... well deal with it.

What you nailed together. It's okay that you didn't have much money, but then please make more of it and don't waste it on another cheaply produced action film. The actors have charisma but little talent.
