If you go into this movie expecting a Hollywood Blockbuster - most of which are over-the-top, unrealistic and agenda-driven these days - full of crazy CGI and whatnot, then this probably isn't the movie for you.
The Collective feels authentic, and the cast was perfectly chosen. Mercedes Varnado, in her debut feature film role, Paul Ben-Victor and Lucas Till particularly shone with their performances.
Mercedes, who plays Nikita, the knife-wielding chief of security, impressed with her athleticism, which she undoubtedly has from her wrestling background, as well as an aura and charisma that suited her role perfectly. We will be seeing a lot more of her, I'm sure.
The fight scenes were definitely the strong point in this movie and felt real - not needlessly dragged-out like in many other productions.
All in all, this can be summed up as a fun popcorn flick that I would recommend to anyone.
