Review of Check Point

Check Point (2017)
2/10
Really bad, even for a B movie
12 May 2018
The other user comments here have stated in many ways how bad this movie is, that I wonder if I can say anything new. I'll give it a try. First of all, if you sit down to watch this movie expecting a lot of action, you'll be very disappointed. After the opening action sequence (which is repeated later in the movie!), there is no real action again until almost 50 minutes later. From that point on, there is some action, but it's choreographed and directed so plainly that there isn't the least amount of excitement coming from it. A bigger problem with the movie is the script. The story is incredibly slow-moving, for one thing, taking much too long to set things up and present the problem to the protagonists, one reason being that there are far too many characters the script feels need to be there. What little story there is also happens to be pretty stupid at times; the ultimate plan of the bad guys gets more absurd the more you learn about it and think about it. Also, the production values are pretty rock bottom for the most part, not just with the most unconvincing CGI blood splatter in motion picture history. I normally find something to like in most B movies, but with this one, I am really hard pressed to think of anything remotely positive.
