After watching - and despising - 2015's Gridlocked, which brought director Allan Ungar and wannabe C-lister Cody Hackman together *again*, I thought I'd give them a second chance and watch their previous work together to see if Gridlocked was just a cinematic misstep or if they were genuinely a terrible combination.
Unfortunately or the moviegoing public, it is the latter.
Tapped Out is a movie that fails to deliver on its promise. The film follows the story of Michael Shaw, a former martial arts prodigy who seeks revenge against the man who killed his parents. The movie is a perfect example of a poorly executed action-drama.
The film's screenplay is riddled with cliches and predictable plot twists. The movie's director, Allan Ungar, has done a poor job of bringing the story to life on the big screen. The film's cast is also subpar, with Cody Hackman delivering a particularly weak performance as Michael Shaw.
The movie's fight scenes are poorly choreographed and lack any real excitement. The film's climax is also underwhelming and fails to deliver the emotional payoff that the audience deserves.
Overall, Tapped Out is a movie that is not worth your time. The film's cliched screenplay, poor direction, and weak performances make it a forgettable experience. I would not recommend it to anyone. Actually, yes, I would recommend it to Cody Hackman and Allan Ungar - if they force this garbage onto others, they should at least have to suffer through it themselves! Please, please, Cody Hackman - for the love of all things holy, stop doing this to us. I used to love cinema until I saw this effluent you call a film, now I think I'm going back to books until my stomach settles.
