Good start, but then it gets ruined

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Disturbing yet enthralling

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.

I haven't seen a flick this bad in quite awhile. For starters, like other illiterate shows, the dialogue has , at least , 100 vulgar, trashy, totally unnecessary 'words', mostly the 'f--k' word. The 'f--k' word used to have an 'impact' when used sparingly to give ooomph to an attitude. In this show the use of 'dirty' words, stupid dialogue is exploding all over the screen and , for me , nothing but irritating. I watched about 15 minutes of this awful fiasco but couldn't handle anymore. This is a lousy movie. Acting is poor. I'd have to force myself to watch this but someone would have to pay me. There's nothing about this flick worth diddly.

Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones, two of my favourite actors in a action movie. Wow i thought and really looked forward to enjoy the show. But it was a total disaster, the whole movie made no sense at all and certainly is one of the worse movies i have ever seen. As example: Couple dozen cops can't shoot a guy standing in the open on the roof and that guy, with his automatic sub-gun, can't hit any of the cops either. Basically the whole movie is like 4 independent movies no connection what so ever. I hope the people who wrote this story better stay away from writing Yes, i watched it until the end, hoping that it would get better. But at the finish line i realized that i just wasted 102 min of my life. Still can't believe that two movie start like glover and Jones put them self into this awful movie. But i guess times are bad and they needed the money.

The last movie I saw 'starring' Danny and Vinnie should have warned me to stay clear of this movie but I was able to watch it for free so went against my better judgement.It's clear that the two main 'stars' have given up any semblance of wanting to create a memorable piece of drama and would rather bank the cheques.I can understand that of Vinnie Jones but I really don't see why such an accomplished actor as Danny Glover is sacrificing his credibility to appear in dreck such as this.You'll notice that I have not made any specific reference to the movie itself to this point. So here it is , it's cheaply made, badly directed and has a plot line that is beyond nonsense. Everybody involved with this movie should feel ashamed.There are no more words.

Unfortunately no amount of f-words can save this immature and epicly sad excuse of a movie. We all have to pay the rent, I get that. Sometimes it just hurts to watch it happen. Checkmate tries to be so bad-ass it falls flat on its face from the very first frame. Disconnected plot, no character development, crazy amount of cuss words, words of wisdom outtro etc. The turkeylist goes on. How did Glover and Aston even end up in this mess? I would seriously think a seventh grader could put together a more interesting script. This is by far the worst film I've seen the last 10 years. We're not talking funny bad here either. Low budget just got a new low - and I'm not even gonna comment on the girl with the samurai sword.
