Standoff Review
What you think I am a monster! Wow! I
did not expect this!
Watch the video review of Standoff HERE
Starring: Thomas Jane, Laurence Fishburne and Ella
Ballentine
Before I begin, Let me tell you guys that Thomas jane is one
of the underrated actors in Hollywood. It may be because of the unsuccessful
string of movies that he starred in or it might be movies themselves were a
good whatever the case it is always good to watch him perform.
This is a movie about a girl Isabel who witnesses amurder
and tries to escapes from the assassin. She winds up taking refuge in Carter’s
house (Carter is played by Thomas jane). The Assassin (played by Laurence
Fishburne) follows her and tries to kill her but carter thwarts his attempt.
This begins a standoff between him and the assassin.Carter manages to restrict
the assassin to the ground floor and holds him off. Now the Assassin can’t
leave without killing Isabel and carter can’t let her be killed in good
conscience. Assassin wants to get Isabel at any cost so he tries to intimidate
carter psychologically into giving her up. Carter being stubborn man that he is
tries his best to keep her safe.
This movie was better than what I expected it to be; it has
asimple but engaging plot. It is a cat and mouse game between the assassin and
carter. It has some cringe worthy scenes. The movie is entertaining throughout
but that doesn’t mean that there are no flaws.
I mean there are other things that the assassin could have done to end
the standoff but he tries to reason with him. I think that is one of the
loopholes.
The Background music in the movie it is haunting and adds to
the vibe of the movie.It made the assassin more intimidating.
The casting of the movie is also amazing. All the actors in
the movie are good in their roles. Laurence and Thomas do a good job in the
film. Laurence especially is good in this part as a fast talking, stone cold
killer. Its been a long time since I have seen him in a character like this. And
I liked it . One of the first characters that you see is Isabel played by ella
ballentine.You can’t help imagine yourself being in Isabel’s place. Her
character has a sad past but she is sweet and innocent, Ella nails her part
perfectly.
The Ending of the movie is good. Certain facts are revealed
which makes you go oh crap! Things could
have been worst. It is very interesting to see the plot play out. There are
exciting twists and turns
