Am I Missing Something?

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I have 14 of Michael Jai Whites films on DVD and I think there's nothing wrong or crap about them. 1) Universal Soldier: The Return, 2) Exit Wounds, 3) The Dark Knight, 4) Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing, 5) Black Dynamite, 6) Blood and Bone, 7) Tactical Force, 8) Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, 9) Never Back Down 3: No Surrender, 10) Android Cop, 11) Falcon Rising, 12) Vigilante Diaries, 13) Deadly Target, 14) Skin Trade. 13 of the films I have of his on DVD are excellent, but Vigilante Diaries is quite good, but needs improving. Their should have been more of Michael Jai Whites fight scenes in this film.Rating 7.5 out of 10 (in between good and very good)

I look at the blurb before the cast and writer and director but it didn't take more than a few minutes into this movie to suspect it's a writer/director effort! He really should have stuck to cooking! It comes with a second writer who also stars but that's no great shakes of a recommendation.It's not a dire action movie, but it does come with the usual action flick clichés, improbabilities (impossibilities!), set pieces, contrivances and, yes, stupidities (when you've got the guy where you want him, yeah, put the gun away and go hand-to-hand! Doh! Moron! (er, that's the writer(s)!)! The bad guys speak English for most of the movie but 2/3rds of the way through they start speaking in their native language and we're treated to subtitles. Oh dear...Oh yes, the hip hop/rap music is crap, too!But the movie mainly falls down in the explanation department. It could be me, but trying to follow who's who and who's done what to whom and why, got off to a bad start and didn't really get any easier. However, if you just go with the flow you can enjoy an action flick (with just a twinge of gratuitous torture) for what it is.The performances are nothing to write home about but Michael Madsen does well (although he doesn't actually do much) but must have been looking for work.It's all sort of OK, but not brilliant and there's the ever-present feeling that it should and could have been better.If you've nothing else to do on a weekday night, give it a whirl, but have a few beers with it, accept it for what it is and wonder why you're watching this when you could be watching a 7* movie.

Jason Mewes stars as vlogger Michael Hanover, who follows an avenger known as the Vigilante. The Vigilante (Paul Sloan) and his sidekick The Kid (Kevin L Walker) are feared for their violent tactics in taking down criminals. Hanover uploads their exploits on to the web and gets popular acclaim.When the Vigilante takes on the wrong bad guy all hell lets loose as the dead man's brother goes after him for revenge. There are rifts with rivals gangs and shadowy US black ops types are hanging around in the background. There are lots of torture scenes, frenetic shootouts and hot looking bimbos. It is just that a lot of it makes little sense.The film has good production values and some scenes are shot all over the world, bits of Glasgow with subtitles for people talking in a Scots accent, some footage in London and Armenia.The plot feels disconnected and never hangs together. We get chapter titles making it look like that this was a Tarantino film and just to hammer the point home, we get a lot of bizarre talking from Micheal Madsen. As a violent action comedy, the story is not good enough.

This movie is for the simple minded. It has a comic book feel about it. You like gun play .Like stuff blowing up. You like hot Asian chicks. You like a script that makes no sense?Well look no farther. This movie has all that and more. This was just awful. Acting was poor to say the lease. Loads of war type action. People getting killed left and right. Man bun documentary movie guy is annoying. No character development. Story jumps all over the place. And so does the vigilante. And can you believe they set this up for a sequel. I guess you would have to been a fan of the TV series of the same title to even like this movie.
