Shrapnel Movie Reviews

Straightforward shootouts from 35 minutes onwards.

For the fans of this B-movie action genre, for those who just prefer a good guy vs bad guys shootouts and that is exactly what you are gonna get.

The good: from 35 minutes onwards, it’s basically contineous shootouts between Jason Patric and a Mexican drug kartel who has kidnapped his daughter.

The shootouts are okay ish, but nothing terrific, especially since Jason Patric survives every hailstorm of bullets and kills everybody with a single shot himself. A bit laughable, but then again this is a B-movie. Treat it as such and it’ll be a nice pastetime.

For those (like me) who are a bit impatient, skip the first 35 minutes, nothing much happens at the start…

Barely watchable shoot-em-up

Zero originality. Zero imagination. Did this have a script? You can’t tell. Looks like an exercise in trying to rewrite and reenact a small piece of “Rambo: Last Blood”.

Obviously low budget. Barely sufferable acting all-round. The lead’s dead eyes are a monument to total lack of acting ability. The mother just had her first-born child kidnapped by a Mexican Cartel and is completely unfazed throughout the whole movie. Zero depth.

The usual shaky-camera to provide some fake tension.

As fake as the stellar reviews around here…

The only thing that makes this barely watchable is the fact that from mid-movie on there are always people shooting at each other in several different ways, although again in stupid ways: for instance, the sheriff trying to shoot bad guys with a shotgun from 50 yards, while the bad guys are shooting him with an assortment of military-grade automatic weapons.

There are also a ton of other stupid things, and goofs (like the extra van that you can only see in some shots in the car chase scene).

Bottom line: watch this if you are in the mood for a mind-numbing action sequence of people killing each other.

Better then expected

You must first switch off any expectations of reality, this is a B move and with that mindset, I enjoyed it. I liked the way it didn’t spend any time on the kidnapping, it went straight into the action. So many of these types of films feel a need to spend time introducing the viewer to the victim, but Shrapnel expects that we understand and moves on. This is well done with lots of splatter and a little torture along the way. Having watched Equalizer 3 recently, I thought if the script and production had been a little better, you could swap Jason Patric for Denzel Washington and Shrapnel would have been a better Equalizer 3. But Jason Patric holds his own and is believable. Just leave any reasoning at the door, and if action revenge is for you then I expect you will enjoy it.
