The Channel (2023)
2/10
Dang, a near complete rip off of Heat, with crappy actors
5 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So many similarities to Heat that I'm surprised the writer has not been sued for plagiarism. Seriously. Same type of crew doing a bank heist, one gets shot and has to go to a doctor to get fixed. Wife problems, daughter issues. Even the same lingo, "van was stolen out of next city 3 days ago."

These 2 writer/directors have done only a handful of movies and all are 5/10 or less. I love Max Martini but here he is just hand cuffed with poor dialogue and dumbed down action.

I gave up about half way through and just decided to watch Heat again.

Tons of single review accounts attempting to convince you this is a decent movie. Take a good look at the camera work and angles. It reminds me of a Steven Segal flick of old with all the cut scenes running of top of each other to hide his gut.

Nicoye Banks was just about as cardboard as can be, and is like a fish out of water here. Plenty of other flimsy actors as well so it's all awkward really.
