The Enforcer movie review IN A NUTSHELL: Miami's top mob enforcer Cuda (Antonio Banderas) sacrifices it all to tear down the criminal organization he's spent his whole life building up when he discovers his boss Estelle (Kate Bosworth) is putting a young runaway's life in grave danger. Now he has one last chance to make up for his past and find redemption - both for himself and his family - before the mob hunts him down for his betrayal. The movie was directed by Richard Hughes. W. Peter Iliff wrote the screenplay, famous for his Point Break script. My all-time favorite film of his is Patriot Games. THINGS I LIKED: I adore Antonio Banderas but I was worried when I saw this trailer because he has been pumping out a lot of rotten films lately that skip theaters and go directly to TV, much like many of the other aging stars like Bruce Willis, Liam Neeson, John Travolta, and Mel Gibson. He does a great job, although the material is super cliched. There is plenty of action, although the film moves slowly. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: Personally, watching this movie is like rolling around in a grimy gutter for an hour and a half. No thanks. I didn't like any of the characters and never felt very engaged. Sometimes, it's hard to understand what Antonio Banderas says. There are a lot of Mafia movie tropes. Because of that, the movie is extremely predictable as we watch a tired hitman seek redemption. There was absolutely no humor to balance out all of the violence and gore. Some of the plot holes made me roll my eyes. What's missing from this drama is some humor to break up all of the rage and blood. We get to go to Miami in the film; however, the movie focuses on the grimy underworld, rather than the colorful buildings, beaches, and elegant money in that city. Kate Bosworth sits behind a desk in almost all of her scenes.

So Redbox kiosks was bought by Screen Media so I am fooled into thinking these big name actors are in a quality production. This film tries to be gritty but it leaves me disgusted with cliches and copycat plots. I've seen this film many times before, Fans this is No Desperado, Zorro or Assassins. Those were well acted and great supporting actors in well directed films, This film is a dog. It tries too hard to be relevant to 2022 with things that don't belong. It is supposed to be cuban neighborhood in Miami but felt out of place. It needed stronger supporting characters than what was in the film, it one strong support in Kate Bosworth but little else in the rest of the unknowns nor did I care to get to know them. I will search films from redbox on IMDB from now on and omit the film if by low budget Screen Media Films.

Seems like those action movie stars if the 80s and 90s just don't know when to hang it up. Social security aged Antonio Banderas is the latest geezer to walk into a room and take on the bad guys without needing flex all 454 afterwards. I guess low budget, straight to video is where action stars go to retire. While I'll admit, it's not that bad of a movie but there's a reason why it went to Redbox and not cinemas. The action is okay, especially the last maybe, 20 minutes or so. The problem is the movie is 91 minutes of laughable sentimental moments. It's clear the hero of the story is one of those "just when I thought I was out they put me back in" guys who'd rather lay down his guns in the name of peace. Kate Bosworth is also in this as the boss of Antonio Banderas's criminal enterprise. Boy, after starting out with a once promising career she's making a habit of female villains in old dudes action movies like Jason Statham's Homefront. Except that movie was actually decent for being a predictable movie too. Still, if you're bored and got a loose $2 to spend then this isn't a bad watch. While it's definitely a hokey actioner we've seen before and done better elsewhere. I think what happened was Antonio banderas saw how much money Liam Neeson was having making geriatric action flicks and wanted in. Except Neeson has Taken and believe me, this ain't no Taken. More like Mistaken, featuring a forgotten action star who's got bills to pay and does dumb movies. Like Nic Cage.

Some people compare this to Liam Neesons movies and say it is similar etc. I saw Taken and ended it there for Mr Neeson as although I like him as an actor, he went the Jason Statham route and oversaturated his role with sequels and similar movies and enough is enough. This movie felt fresh, daring, brave and a slap in the face of real exploiters of people. Not really a fan of Banderas as only seen Desperado and some other western and the assassins movie from decades ago all which were mediocre but it seems he was tailor made for this movie. Events like those shown in this movie (probably except the ending) are taking place daily and being covered up with a system in place to suppress exposure so it is a daring movie when you draw parallels to the reality of the system in place. Those who have researched this topic know it is a single integrated global network involving powerful people and not just a few people looking to earn money. Joaquin Phoenix did a movie like this, this one with Banderas is better.

The Enforcer is a decent and well made movie. The action scenes are good, with some pretty brutal fights. The characters are believable and well acted. The films got a good atmosphere, mixing dark underworld themes and hot miami afternoons. The Music score is excellent with some nice tunes and even some enjoyable techno. This isnt an epic masterpiece, it's more of a cool, small pulp fiction story. It's not overly long, and isn't trying to be anything other than itself. And in that respect The Enforcer wins with it's charm and heroic story. Its a good and respectable flick. I personally enjoyed it a lot and think you will too! :-)

It wasnt the worst movie Ive seen this year, but it was flat, boring, predictable, poorly written and directed, poorly acted, and just, a weak effort. Nobody who dies was cared about, nobody in the movie had a last name, most didnt even have 1st names. Hamfisted setups, overstated and oversplashy scenery to establish tension that the actors and the script couldnt handle on its own. Marginal acting (Though I dont know you can blame the players, they were given nearly nothing to work with). I can tolerate the idea of its all been done before, but the lack of emotions, the bland vanilla characters that had no dialogue worth remembering. I wouldnt watch it again. It simply wasnt interesting enough to do twice.

In the immortal words of the cartoon movie reviewer, The Critic, "it stinks". This film has every cliche you can imagine for hitmen, lemme fatales, and sex-oriented films. Banderas looks embarrassed to be in this turkey, but a payday is a payday. I will not bore you with the infantile plot, but it is really mundane. The actors are more like cartoon characters than film actors. Every scene has a predictabe beginning, middle and end. The entire film is predictable. What a mess. Why producers think people will pay $10-$15 a ticket to see junk like this is beyond my comprehension. Who knows, maybe the public is just dumb enough to pay for films like these.
