Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Didn't know what movie to watch so I came on IMDb and saw that this movie had a 7.8 rating. Story line seemed interesting. Started to watch it and after 25 minutes of pure boredom, I paused the film and came back here to read the reviews cause I didn't see nothing funny and the story was getting nowhere... This movie have only bad reviews...Don't understand the 7.8 rating. Don't watch this movie,it's a waist of you time.
Thomas (Joe Hursley) is a spy, or more accurate a special agent. The government sets up a reality TV show using him, some actors, and real bad guys to make a propaganda film to regain control of the Panama Canal from FARC rebels in Columbia. The show is unscripted.The plot was not cohesive. Joe Hursley is not an actor. Sean Astin was is usual great self, wasting his talent on this bomb. Greg Davis Jr.tried to come across like Kevin Hart a couple of times and what they really needed was Keven Hart as a reluctant lead. The film was designed to be funny, it just didn't come across that way.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
First of all they tried to copy killing gunther but it didn't live up to that potential,even for a B grade film, It sucks. Don't waste time. There is too much nonsense dance and laughter that makes no sense, the whole film is a pile of garbage even the actors don't know what they are doing! Go home Rob Gordon Bralver you are drunk af.....
The opening scene of this movie is shot in extra-shaky cam, with fake looking CGI blood and terrible attempts at comedy. For example the main character references his erect penis in the first 3 minutes of the movie in an unfunny attempt at humor, then later uses the blood of a guy who's been shot to make "war paint" stripes under his eye in an unfunny attempt at humor.So I figured this would be spy comedy (perhaps poorly done but still a comedy.) I was wrong.I watched the next 45 minutes in utter boredom. I connected with none of the characters. I found nothing funny. The plot of a reality show about spies ended up being wasted with a really boring script. I honestly don't even think I'm going to be able finish this one, it's that bad.Not recommended. This movie makes "Killing Gunther" seem good in comparison.
