Unoriginal and forgettable, but FAR from the worst I've seen, a good time killer, not exceptional in any way really but an easy watch if you have some time to kill.

There is nothing fresh here.

the things i watch for jack falahee..

I was really excited about this movie when I first saw the trailer. It looked kinda interesting and I'm a Jack Falahee fan so I obviously wanted to see him in this role. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't deliver. It's boring. The dialogues are bland. The characters are not fleshed out and you can't really connect to them.

The worst part is the sexual assault that takes place and is just brushed off as cool...or not even talked about. I hate when that happens.

Full review: girlswithguns.org/blowtorch/

It's not a terrible film, anchored by a very solid central performance from the thoroughly convincing Robbins. Her mother positively oozes steely determination, and refuses to back down, despite being faced by some authentically unpleasant bad guys. That's part of a generally good sense of place here: However, the script here contains too many missteps to be considered even somewhat successful. Not least is the relationship between Ann and Mike, with Ann acting unfortunately like some kind of revenge-driven MILF. I suspect the intent is to show her "by any means necessary" approach; yet it seems severely out of place with the character established in the first half.
