Comments

  1. Milan: saw this guy's work in 88 Minutes, didn't expect that much over-the-top violence here
  2. Shadow Rune: I've been waiting for someone to finally nail the '80s Hong Kong action beat-'em-up vibe, but this just reeks of EuroTrash trying too hard
  3. Ravia: deliriously violent is an understatement. Keifer's still got that rage, but I'm not sure 'Father Joe' would win any awards for narrative restraint either
  4. Iron Raven: Keifer's still trying to out-Bruce Willis himself, newsflash: it doesn't work
  5. Lunar Oracle: who let keifer think he's back to his 24 days?
  6. Neon Shard: i've seen woody allen's influence on keifer sutherland's performance before, but this is something different
  7. Neon Serpent: Keifer's acting range is starting to feel like a punch-and-shoot simulator, every project just another iteration of the same brutal template
  8. Static Nova: Kiefer's got his dad's charisma, but this film feels like it's playing every action movie cliche at once. The Venice festival just gave him an award for this
  9. Elin: suffocating under the weight of its own nostalgia
  10. Echo Pulse: I still don't get why they needed to make it so over-the-top, couldn't it have just been a straightforward commentary on the violence in action movies instead of a love letter
  11. Onyx Sparrow: Keif er really committing to that intense gaze at 0:15, but is the action as slick as it should be?
