It feels like every week another trashy crime thriller shot in Georgia is released. They all have more or less the same story. Washed up actor plays "Trauma man", a middle aged man with a violent past attempting to be a family man. He doesn't speak much, gruffly grunting badly written lines in a cliché raspy mumble. His violent past catches up to him, he agrees to do one more crime job, but eventually has to do the right thing and take out his former boss when they threaten his family.
Now Legolas has joined the ranks of Kevin Dillon and other 90s actors doing this kind of dreck for a paycheck. Seeing Andie McDowell in this role was a surprise, and it's clear she has no idea how to play a role like this. Her scenes are laughably bad, which is both her fault and that of the screenwriter.
As usual for these films, the color grading is awful, the pace is slow and a generic ambient score makes it feel even slower. And they put a country music song over the end credits.
The accents are all over the place. Why do they keep hiring Brits and Aussies to play southern rednecks?
Every now and then one of these films does turn out to be okay (Mob Land was legitimately fantastic), and this one objectively isn't the worst of them. It's watchable if you're very bored, and there are some decent moments.
But damn is it boring. The writers should hang their heads in shame. Even for derivative tax break dreck the dialogues here are extremely poorly written: ChatGPT could have written a better script.
