Boring.

Semper Fi (1 out of 5 stars).

Semper Fi has a great talented cast ensemble and a story that could have been so much more. It falls flat to a terrible direction, boring script, and characters. It was difficult to even care about any of the characters in the movie.

The plot follows a police officer Callahan (Jai Courtney) who is also serving in the Marine Corps. When his brother Oyster (Nat Wolff) is arrested and faced in prison. He gets assaulted by the officers in there. Which Callahan is trying to stop. When the justice system doesn't focus on that. He is faced with trying to help and save his brother.

The direction follows with the brotherhood with Callahan, Jaeger (Finn Wittrock), Oyster, and Snowball (Arturo Castro). And Milk (Beau Knapp). The script lacks in making the characters worth watching. They were all dull and boring. Callahan is trying to be the responsible brother to Oyster. With Oyster having mood swings and attitude problems. He was trying to start his own food truck business.

The films drama was boring. The direction felt like a bad straight to tv kind of movie. It was just very difficult to get into.

Overall, Semper Fi is a horrible film. It was boring. It lacked thrills and suspense. The characters are terribly written. It was difficult to care for them. This film is definitely a pass.
