Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
snafux7 I recently watched the whole series (8 episiodes) on Netflix because I was home sick and needed something midless to watch. The Kill Point fit the bill nicely but I had hoped for much more after watching the opening episode. Basically it starts off pretty well, the opening sequence is well done and feels like a good bank heist action movie with an interesting premise (i.e. the bank robbers are all U.S. Marines). But after the first two episodes it rapidly deteriorates into crappy, lazy writing. There's not a single cliché or trope they don't find a way to work into the plot, its really pathetic to watch. Remember the chemistry between Dirty Harry Callahan and his Chief (the whole hard-ass vs. the cop who does things by his own rules theme)? OK well its been forty years and how many iterations have we seen of that since? How bout the scene where the Feds come in and say 'were taking control of this operation now', how many times have you seen that tired old scene played out? So many times that its become a joke. This is the kind of mess that the writing devolves into and it just gets worse as the series progresses. Probably the stupidest thing about the show is that we are expected to believe that these robbers are highly trained Iraqi-war vets from an elite unit who despite firing off 1000s of rounds throughout the course of the series are unable to kill anyone but are systematically taken out by the Pittsburgh SWAT team and a dumpy Donnie Wahlberg, the hostages are even able to disarm the robbers at one point, it just becomes impossible to suspend one's disbelief.So bottom line is that if you need to kill an afternoon on the couch fighting a bad cold and need some brain-dead programming to watch then this should be just what the doctor ordered, otherwise you can do much better. The first episode or two I'd give a 7 or 8 out of 10, after that, its all 2's and 3's at best.
CineCritic2517 I can't wrap my brain around it. How can anyone who has seen 'The Wire' from which' cast was heavily borrowed to create this shameful production, rate this dross anything above 4 and dare to compound that hilarious act by typing a glorifying review.Is it just an utter lack in good taste or maybe a twisted lack of honesty, or has the world finally gone bat shït crazy?I mean the clues were all over the place; soap worthy screen writing, unbelievably poor drama, embarrassing errors in continuity, cheap looking visuals and last but not least, the most contrived plot turns that screamed 'How convenient!' ever to have been put to film.I sat and watched face-palmed as the last episodes rolled over my screen and further ruined what must have been a decent idea on paper. An idea that may have worked as a film or a 3 episode (real) mini- series, but as it stands, didn't remotely offer anything worthy of being stretched out the way it was.The only thing that was new to the genre of bank heists, was that it was carried out by professional soldiers. But everything else has been done to death so many times it wouldn't even be possible to do a post mortem on it.This could have easily been a fairly decent distraction, but after hearing Omar mutter his half-baked poetic blabber as the top notch sniper, trying to offer a description of the situation, I knew I was in trouble. My god, how embarrassing that must have been for him. I hope everyone involved has quietly picked up their pay checks and have already forgotten they ever got talked into participating in this. I know I have.3/10
carltonbanks-1 I had great hopes for this show. The idea, the plot and the action depicted in the teasers, all seemed great, but the show was a great disappointment!....maybe not to all viewers, but anyone with ANY experience from military, security or law- enforcement will definitely be embarrassed to see this pathetic attempt at portraying soldiers and police.The great lack of thoroughness in the production became evident in the first shoot-out outside the bank and continued through several embarrassing scenes throughout the season. I don't even know where to start! ...experienced soldiers and police shooting hundreds of bullets at close range without hitting anyone, SWAT-guys with all brand new equipment, who don't know how to move, hold a weapon, aim or fire. Even the female SWAT-commander has not been taught how to draw, hold or fire her glock. I could go on and on! ...and then there's the continuity-errors!All in all: amateurish!!! I haven't seen so much bullshit action-acting since the so-called "special forces" in Die Hard 2!
jfg_hms_82003 This series was so good, I had to cancel all of my plans on Sunday night to watch The Kill Points, this series is not so unrealistic, I love the suspense, and the strategies they used. Something that I founded weird is that since the series played every week, it kind of made like they were in the bank forever, but they actually were for maybe 3 days? If you did not watch this series, I recommend so, it is full of suspense, and action and it brings a whole new meaning to honor and leader.I would love to see a other series of The Kill Points, and I the season finale is just the best part of the whole series.
