Well, the lack of reaction kinda speaks for itself
Looks like a generic "vanity" product (here with Scott Martin, who seems a bit bland for a lead). As for usual with these product from post-2010, Dolph's character looks cool and fun, but must only appear 10/15mn I guess. Plot sounds uselsessly complicated. It also looks a bit cheap and ugly, although it's a rough teaser reel, so let's give'em the benefit of the doubt...
Looking forward to Isaac Florentine's effort (and MOTU ? ).

Yeah that looks kinda horrible unfortunately. Like you said bomaz, it's very ugly looking.
One can hope that the grade is not final but I don't know how much that could change matters. Why is the every other shot over exposed and burnt out? And those digital muzzle flares are an eyesore as per usual.
This is a hard pass for me.

Glad to see you still stopping by, 'preacher'

Re the film, I'll just give it one point for not being THE BEST MAN and being shot in exteriors but it ain't saying much...

No offense to Scott Martin who could be a terrific person for all I know, but 20 years ago you would never see an unknown playing the lead in a DTV with popular action stars, even he happens to have access to financing. I don't mind Dolph being second fiddle but with a minimum of artistic ambition in the cast and the project...

Movies like this make it easier to understand why he’s turned his attention to Vodka.
