Kill Ratio (2016)
3/10
Gives "direct to DVD" a bad name

Warning: Spoilers
American patriots may at first be attracted to this movie for it being one of the rare films to show a member of the CIA in a positive light, but I am pretty sure not long into watching this movie even they will see that this is a terrible movie. It's another "Die Hard" rip-off, though to be fair the filmmakers tinkered with the formula in ways that it doesn't feel as blatant a rip-off as other imitators of the formula. And I could excuse the movie looking pretty cheap and tacky at times. What bothered me, however, was how boring most of this movie is. For example, in the first half of the movie, we only get two action sequences. And none of that action - or any other action in the movie for that matter - is particularly well accomplished, looking and feeling very mechanical and drab instead. There are some very silly character actions in the movie, mostly in the last fifteen or so minutes. Had the movie been filled from start to finish with such silly character actions, I might have recommended the movie as an unintentional comedy. But as it is, there's not enough here at any level to make the movie worth a look.
