Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

TdSmth5 Adkins runs some martial arts place. Of course it's not doing well financially and some bad guys are offering to buy it off for pennies. Adkins kicks their butts. A friend offers to help him by getting him a job with mobster Tommy. He's hired as a debt collector and partnered with the more seasoned "Sue." From the get-go things are more dangerous than Sue claimes and Adkins has to risk his life and kick butt. After a couple of jobs they are introduced to uber bad guy Barbosa. He wants them to find a some Irish kid. Barbosa's main girl seems to have something to do with all this. They eventually track down the kid who everyone says is just a regular nice guy and sure enough, he is and he also has a daughter. At that point things are revealed and things get dangerous for the two.The debt collector is your low budget B-movie, featured some good acting by the charismatic Vladimir Kulich and Mandylor. Adkins's acting doesn't impress this time around. The fight scenes are good but not outstanding. The story here is weak. We're supposed to feel for the Irish kid but he appears late in the movie so for the most part of the movie nothing goes on other than waiting for the next fight scene. The main problem I had was with the unnecessary and gruesome slaughterhouse footage. That alone left a nasty impression of the movie and its crew.

shacmasta First off I'm a pretty easy guy to please when it comes to movies and this flick is a pretty standard "5" on a 10 scale but I must deduct a point for the pointless Cow cut scenes. Then that ending??? WTF?? Is the director some anti-beef guy? Is he a hardcore vegetarian? Yeesh

omendata I was not expecting much from this but boy was i surprisedSuperb acting mainly from Costas Mandylor's (SAW Movie Series) brother Louis who plays...wait for it SUE an ultra hard man repo agent...lol It was his performance and acting that made the entire film for me.I actually thought the two characters were a great buddy team , haven't seen many as good as this since Riggs and Murtaugh Lethal Weapon.Great humour and although the story was a bit lacklustre and of the standard by the numbers design, the fight scenes were very well done and the humour was spot on.All in all a crackingly good movie that beats all of the blockbuster ones out this year into a cocked hat and whilst its not perfect its a rather good debut appearance from the main character Scott Adkins.

Daniel Rodrigues This is one of those movies we try really really hard to enjoy... but, unfortunatelly, I couldn't... We have one hell of a cast: Scott Adkins, Louis Mandylor (The Quest, Sinners and Saints), Michael Paré (City of the Damned, Streets of Fire) and the amazing Tony Todd (Night of the Living Dead '90, Final Destination). The producers are the same of Savage Dogs... that one suffered a bit from the "bare knucle" part of the story - it would have been nice to see Adkins, Zaror and Le showcase their abilities... This one is boring... way boring... the acting itself, isn't that bad. They are all competent actors... but the movie... it's a blend mix of dull moments and some "wannabe" comedy action "80's style", like "Turner and Hooch" or something like that.The story goes around two debt collectors, with a confused moral compass... there's no flying kick from Adkins, the choreography, here, seems way off, almost clumsy. The action is spread across the movie, but very tamed... It's a shame, but for evey good title Adkins has, there's a few hits'n'misses...This one, is very very boring... I gave 5 stars for the cast itself... and I recomend watching this if you are having trouble sleeping, or in a Sunday afternoon, in a family lunch... Oh, and with some exceptions - the small shootout at the end - this is almost a family friendly movie... Too bad... It could have been a lot better...
