literally what in the hell is this

looks like.... Zoe Saldana

This is on Netflix now. It's a bit plodding for an action film despite the artificial fast framerate during combat shots. Most of the acting was perfectly fine, however the film was overall too slow and at the end seemed way too apologetic to the antagonistic religion-as-capitalistism.

Lacking imagination and care, Atone promises to be a hostage-scenario acton film, but instead suffers from an insufferable plot. I was really hoping for a fun, played-out action movie but what you get instead is muddled editing and a dodgy plot.

Here is the full review.

Full review: girlswithguns.org/atone/

It feels as if, for every step forward this takes, there are two back. Farrelly, better known as WWE’s Sheamus, shows up as one of the bad guys, and crosses himself every time he kills someone, which is the kind of endearing quirk that works. He and the heroine have a decent bathroom brawl. But then there are amateur digital effects, poor continuity and no sense at all of escalation, as well as villains who fall astonishingly short of even basic competence. The explanation about why Lauren has her PTSD, is held back until the very end, far too late for the viewer to care one whit. It’s all a jumbled, and worse, largely boring mess. They say the devil has all the best tunes. On the basis of this, he can likely also lay claim to the best girls-with-guns films as well.

Look . Yall know me by now... I will never tell someone to not watch a movie. So, with that being said, if you want to waste your time on terrible acting, honky dialogue and a script that is as lackluster as watching a group of ppl yawn in sync, please, go ahead and watch this. But there are plenty of other Netflix films that are equally as bad but far more entertaining... sigh

너무 조잡하다..

A woman with special-ops training has to storm a mega-church that has been taken over by heavily-armed criminals, in order to rescue her daughter. That’s right, it’s faith-based DIE HARD. Honestly I was more excited to see this movie than two out of three Marvel movies in 2019, and more than all of the DC ones. My sporadic column at Daily Grindhouse, Movies Of The Damned, focuses on late-night deep dives I’ve taken that even the more weathered of cult-movie cinemaniacs tend to avoid. This movie is due for that treatment. Happy New Year ATONE, I will see you again soon.

It does not seem to even try to accomplish what the title said it is doing
Fingers crossed they don't make a sequel to do just that

paul blart mall cop was better

My favourite part was when one of the bad guys said "Let there be night" before turning the lights off in the building they were robbing.

Acting was subpar.

Jaqueline Fleming got beat up about 100x, shot, and still managed to save the world.

I liked the idea behind the movie but I think the lack of a budget really cause some inability to be more flashy.

Mediocre heist movie with a nice script but held back by a lack of budget and poor acting.

Wow, bad acting, bad script, horrible dialog... Can't recommend watching this one.
