Rising Fear

This movie is the sequel to that Michael Scarn blockbuster. The guy with the mask is Goldenface. The president is...well, the president. Won't win any awards, but hey, it's better than I could do. I think.

Poor movie!!! "Retired" agent looks like a 20 year-old just like the FBI guy chasing him. So bad I forgot the names of the characters.....bad bad bad!!! Copy/paste of "Bain" in The Dark Knight Rises!!! A real joke movie. Had a lot of fun watching it because it was sooooo baaaadddd!!!

This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. In fact I'm so sick of it I almost couldn't face it all. Ridiculous plot with a terror suspect escaping so easily and then conducting his own investigation with 3 FBI agents trying to catch up. Awful acting, awful fake accents, awful flow to the movie and truly awful computer graphics. Camera work is awful, regularly focusing on laptops, Computer screens and TVs. How something like this made it to my TV is beyond me. Must have had a budget of about $1000 and looks ever cent of it. I think I could have shot a better movie with a GoPro.

Ok first off the main bad guy is an obvious rip of Bane from Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. The CG is horrible. I mean horrible. The casting was a joke. The actors don't fit the characters. The acting is even worse. The "script" if you can call is one is just cut and paste from numerous big budget releases. The end of the just drones on and on and one. Best to stay away.

The special effects look like someone made them with Adobe After Effects or Blender on a rainy Sunday afternoon but the acting is not too bad and there are some nice plot twists. It's a decent action movie if you are not expecting much. And I read it had a budget of $6000, which is amazing. I have seen way worse movies that cost millions (someone mentioned Independence Day Resurgence, that movie was one of them, see The Critical Drinker's takedown of it on YouTube. Oh and I want the bad guy's mask. I saw it was a MSA mask in the close-up so it should be available on Amazon. When you're forced to wear a face mask because of the Wu Flu you could make the best of it and wear the most awesome one you can find.

If Tom Cruise, instead of Tom Getty, played the lead in this movie it would be a block buster! We're not used to see normal looking actors in action movies. This low budget movie has a nice story and if you give it a try you will not be disappointed (and try not to laugh at the poor cgi, it is low budget). Just enjoy the movie and forget the poor numbers given by millenials :)

Ryan Taylor (Tom Getty) former Marine special ops gets tricked into dialing a phone number that blows up a building in Pittsburgh because they give tax breaks for filming there. He is captured and the truth doesn't work so he escapes from the CIA? and is on a quest to save the President and Pittsburgh from an Al Qaeda Darth Vader looking bad guy from Chechnya who spouts corny recycled lines from a Uwe Boll film. This is all the while avoiding CG rockets launched from helicopters in downtown Pittsburgh. Cool, if you're 12. The film lacked character build up and the necessary love story in lieu of a slightly twisty plot that wasn't that good. Didn't really care if Ryan Taylor lived or died. There was nothing special about him. Guide: No swearing sex or nudity.
