The 2nd

This is my first review and I’m sorry but this movie is a waste of time. The plot is generic which is meh but the actors are what destroy this movie. I’ve seen better acting in school plays. There are a couple scenes where the gun doesn’t even have muzzle to the barrel and looks like a toy gun (which in movies is to be expected) but this is just bad. Every time a shootout would happen and someone would get shot, they would make a noise like you would see in a cartoon or old western haha. Calling this a B movie is disrespectful to B movies out there.

NOTICE TO BUYERS: The trailer rocks. The movie, on the other hand, school play level action. The trailer makes this look way more like a blockbuster hit than a cut rate B movie, which it is. The other comments about the acting? Super valid. And the whole thing is some hackneyed, over the top pro 2nd amendment piece (made even more obvious by the acting and the script). One example is the Russian guy, who goes from a perfect southerner accent to a broken English "Russian" accent: as if he, as a kid when hurt, would turn to his mother, and say in English, in a thick Russian accent: "I heave ache". Lots of heavy handed tropes like that strewn throughout the move. Off thing I noticed in this movie: if you get killed, you're a person of color, an immigrant, or someone who could look like an immigrant. Otherwise: shoulder shot. Serious beat down, but you're okay. Brown person: head shot. The tropes are actually pretty robust throughout; they're hard to miss. This film could have done so much more, even with the antagonists being gun control folks. It could have been a dialogue, but instead it kind of plays like those Christian low budget movies that are pretty much just an advertisement for *that* God. But some cool action sequences ... even though you still have stuff like explosions in car collisions where the explosion happens *before* the collision itself. So I mean, eh ... keep your filters up and don't expect "Taken", or anything.

Honestly, if you can get past the terrible sound effects, special effects and the ridiculous fact that the father and soon look about the same age, it's actually a watchable movie. Definitely not winning any awards though, that's for sure.
