Hard Way 2019 Trailer
To sum up, 'The Hard Way' is a B movie actioner that will fail to give you much excitement, and you'll quickly and completely forget about it after a few days of watching it. The fault with the movie does not lie with its star Michael Jai White - he is as charismatic as ever, and he does put in a lot of effort with his performance and in fight sequences. Instead, the fault lies with the movie writer and director, Keoni Waxman. The script is very familiar, so there are absolutely no surprises, even with the so-called 'surprise twist' near the end of the movie.
As for Waxman's direction, though he occasionally generates a little heat with the action sequences (though more often than not they are kind of choppy), his direction is often pretentious (what's with the black and white moments and the freeze frame moments?), poorly photographed, makes the Romanian backdrop look like it was filmed in Montreal, and sluggishly and leisurely paced. Though the end results are a little better than the terrible direct to video Steven Seagal movies he cranked out in the past, one will still question why Waxman still is in business after all these years. He has to learn the hard way that he simply can't cut it as a filmmaker. I think the director got the wrong script. Or maybe he got the right script but it was the first draft.
I mean holly. Nothing seems to be right in the film. Every scene is full of comedy. Its like they have taken out all scenes from a video game. Remember old playstation 2 games?
The Hard Way (2019) is available on Netflix United States. After learning his brother died on a mission in Romania, a former soldier teams up with two allies to hunt down a mysterious enemy and exact revenge. After learning of his brother’s death during a mission in Romania, a former soldier joins two allies to hunt down a mysterious enemy and take his revenge.
Like Driv3r and GTA san andreas and that stuff? Its like those scenes. But really like I said its just comedy. You watch and laugh. I think if this film gets enough attention it will turn to be a classic movie. Just like The Room.
THE HARD WAY is the usual kind of action thriller B-movie from director Keoni Waxman, who often paired with Steven Seagal earlier in his career. This one's shot in Romania and features a couple of rival characters who eventually team up in order to bring down the usual powerful bad guys and their endless henchmen.
The plot is simplicity and unremarkable, while lead Luke Goss gives an indifferent performance and Randy Couture is underutilised. Best of the lot is Michael Jai White, who at least gets to show off his remarkable power and ability in a series of hard-hitting fight sequences. Starts off with MJWs brother cody on a mission in which he is killed. No big deal you wont miss him. Credits end and were introduced to our star MJW who in all honesty is still his regular old charming self. Some real bad mob actors try to shake him down just to get their asses beat now heres where everything goes wrong.MJW going on a mission to avenge his brother.
This movie would have been much better if it just was about the mafia and his bar which honestly has a decent back story. They could have explored that more and could have set up plenty of more action scenes with various mafia members. In the end this movie would have benefited from sticking to what feels like the original idea. Three or four of the lead actors, the cinematography, and the majority of the fight choreography were positives. Michael Jai White and Madalina Anea were very good, and even George Remes over-the-top psycho was pretty well acted. Luke Goss, though, is a quality actor, who rose above the muck he was given to turn in a really good performance.
The biggest downfall of the film, besides Randy Couture's to-be-expected woeful acting, and the absolutely atrocious 'acting' performances of everyone else in the entire movie not mentioned already, was the script. It was beyond terrible.
The Hard Way 2019 Trailer English
One example - a completely unnecessary and ham-fisted attempt to divulge backstory, in an attempt to force the audience to care about a barmaid, delivered by a terrible actress, was so bad it, just, stayed bad. Not one piece of dialogue seemed to fit, and when you give bad dialogue to bad actors, it's not going to turn out well. One of the worst scripts I've seen filmed. The setup for a sequel was obvious. White and Goss could definitely make a really good movie together, and these characters themselves would be fine. But a better director and an actual script would really help next time. While the setup is interesting, the plot turns are predictable as most revenge movies tend to be.The cast is great but the script is a little weak for the support players in this movie.
Michael Jai White is great as the lead actor and he does his typical moves and voicing in this role. His character is seeking answers and revenge for his brothers death in a European city where his brother was killed while on an undercover operation which is led by Randy Couter's character. Luke Goss is an actor who could had played the lead role as well. He plays second to White's character in seeking revenge because he was partners with the brother who was killed.This is the premise for movies of this type. But it it's about finding out who is the true villain in the end - The Hard Way!
