Repeater (2022)
5/10
Barely watchable bottom of the bargain bin B-movie.
29 July 2023
This mess just dragged out too long and was horribly slowly paced. There were too many long dragged out and mostly unnecessary scenes, and the lame slow-mo effects became cringe very fast. This film needed at least 20 mins shaved off, and played back at 1.2x speed to "maybe" be effective as somewhat of a suspenseful action thriller. As it was, it was just too lame and difficult to not get bored watching and waiting for the next scene.

There were many plot holes and sappy scenes, especially the ending that was 50/50 laughable or cringe. The score was annoyingly loud, too constant and overbearing - typical B-film noise. Co-writer and director R. Ellis Frazier gave us a sappy, underwhelming and cliched hit-man story that's been done many times before, and all much better. The minimal action was barely adequate to call this film an action movie. Not even sure how or why newb inexperienced actor Paul Sidhu got the lead roll in this, he has no acting skills and wasn't convincing at all as a hitman whatsoever, plus he barely seemed awake in most scenes. The only one that was close to convincing as a hitman, was the Bri-ish dude, and even he, barely, although the black leather gloves did give him some street-cred lol.
