I give it 3 stars because it is actually entertaining, if you want to kill an hour. Main character is so obnoxious and the whole plot is so silly that it is actually funny.

Who keeps funding Justin Lee's garbage films??
Top_Dawg_Critic10 March 2020
Note to self: Check to see who directed, produced and wrote a film before you see it, and if it's Justin Lee, just don't!
This is the 3rd or 4th Justin Lee mess I've seen, and it's slightly better than the previous, mainly for the silly comedic attempts he made in this one, not to mention casting some bad-ass actors, albeit for a few minutes at a time.
What Lee improved on from his previous messes, was hiring a good cinematographer that I'm sure did his best with Lee's terrible directing and screenplay. The score was actually bearable in this film. But having Ed Morrone spew out the stupidest dialogue, and act like he was on speed trying to crack jokes, was a huge fail. Either make this a drama/thriller, or a comedy. Had it been a comedy, casting Keegan-Michael Key instead of Monroe would've made this film a hit, because that's who I thought of when I heard every lame joke that would've been jokes if delivered by Key - plus they have a similar look. The writing was so predictable full of plot and technical issues. The girl kicks his ass more than anyone else, whilst trowing vases and pans back and forth? Really smh? And what personal protection service would send, let alone hire an obnoxious loud annoying moron like Morrone's character?
Not sure if Lee's has rich parents that don't mind throwing away money on his flop films, but maybe he should take some of that and go to a professional film school. A generous 3/10 for the cinematography and bloopers in the end

This Is Silly

If you're a smart person and you see the movie cover or poster, you're not even reading this. If you're a dumb person and a movie cover or poster showing one, two or even three guys pointing a gun and it makes you tink it's a good movie, you're not reading this because, simply put, you're not a reader. If you're in the middle of the pack and have enough common sense to know that you don't want to waste your time on garbage movies for garbage people, you MIGHT read this review.
Go with your gut. Your gut said this movie is likely another slapped together mess with lots of loud music to mask the poor scene setting and occasional quips by tough guys - all stolen from movies like Die Hard... or Die Harder.. Or Die Hardest... Or Die Harder Most Deadly... Your gut is right: This movie isn't worth your time. It's not even worth your time reading this stupid review. It's time to stop churning out garbage like this. It's a waste of resources and the only way to stop this is by NOT giving it a chance to begin with. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! Do not encourage producers to make this stuff. This is why theaters only show Star Wars, Comic Book Movies and Fast and Furious movies.
silly movie

Erratic bodyguard to protect billions dollars theft.
saptesh78615 March 2020
A security firm appoints an old and erratic bodyguard to protect a couple who takes billions dollars with accounting fraud. Everything going right till a breach in firms' another appointment which turns in wrong turn. Story is simple but good acting by Rome is bind you till end. Not so good nor so bad only once time watchable for a different kind of bodyguard's assignment.
Mind numbingly boring
israelfavela-3376030 December 2020
Barely even an action movie. A lot of talking throughout the movie. The dialogue is solid and the plot is okay but the movie really drags on. If you're looking for an entraining action movie there are far better options. The minimal action is laughable and the movie ends extremely abruptly with an anticlimactic confrontation.
Very good but with flaws

Great Performance by Ed Morrone
docm-3230424 April 2021
The opening scene is hilarious and I loved the character played by Morrone. It's not your everyday action film, but that's what made it interesting. As mentioned by others, be sure to watch right to the end of the credits.
Painful
dcmair20 February 2022
This entire movie felt like a poorly done ripoff of a Quentin Tarantino film. It was predictable with lots of bad acting (which I have to believe is due to the writing and directing more than (most of) the actors. Had I not paid for it I wouldn't have even finished watching, it was that bad.
Extremely silly

It's Ridiculous Fun...
baldy_man8 March 2020
This film was probably made on a budget of around £1000. However, if you see past the cheapness of it, it's a watchable shoot em and punch the crap out of em kind of film. It passed a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon....
An unexpected Gem

Surprisingly good film. Excellent character development and dialogue, wonderful acting, and a wonderful blend of humor, drama and action. An intelligent, funny, and at time poignant film that is so much more than how the film is presented.
I appreciated this movie.
princesscedarrain15 April 2020
I tried looking to see if it had a Wikipedia page to learn more about the film. There wasnt one, and there really wasnt any information besides movie websites giving a basic message about the movie story. I think it was good and I appreciated watching it.
I liked the set up despite it's budget constraints.

(2020) Final Kill
ACTION CRIME DRAMA
Co-produced, written and directed by Justin Lee with protection specialist, Mickey Rome (Ed Morrone) who has so far has a perfect record of protecting his clients, but as soon as he announces his retirement his boss, Carl (Billy Zane) convinces him to do just one last job. It regards Mickey having to guard a couple for the 'witnesses for the prosecution' of Ray (Edward Finlay) and Camilla Bauer (Anita Leeman) Torres who they agreed to testify against the gangsters who they stole money from. My raring might've been higher had it gotten a bigger budget. Therefore, my rating is no more thank a pass!
