The Package (2012)
I appreciate the effort... but why like this?
This is a sub B-Movie without hiding it, but that is fine. The question is: why like this? Why not just try to let it make sense.
The plot is easy, there is just a little twist halfway; but it doesn't matter if you know it already or not. So, for the twist in the plot this movie also does not get any points.
The acting is bad, but fine. And the 50-something years old fighting like 25 year old kick- boxers; OK. I can deal with it.
The big problem is the fighting. When you fight for your life, you don't let anyone live; right? Well, you can make that mistake once, but why 3 times? And when you are in a shootout; you just don't empty your gun on 1 guy and then try to fight the next guy with a gun with your bare hands. And that happens at least 3 times. Or when you get a fisted, full power, in your face; and that for 5 times in a row, you just don't stand up. When you finally get somebody who tries to kill you on the ground, you don't wait until he gets up. So, when you make a movie with excessive violence (Gun and fighting), then at least try to make it believable please! I just don't get it that there was some writer of the script; who even tries to put some story line in the movie (even though he repeats the: "I will come for your family"-part once to often); but then he does not care to make it believable.
So my question is: why do people make a movie like this. Just to get paid? And who is investing in these kind of movies? Are you going to make money on these kind of projects? I really do wonder!
