Bushwick (2017)

Sadly Over-hyped

Nice effects though.

An Exercise In Nonsense

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I sat down to watch this movie on Netflix without knowing anything about it except for the few words the description on Netflix listed. I often do that, sometimes being pleasantly surprised by what I get to see, and that's how I felt about this particular movie. It is definitely not a perfect movie, and you'll see some big flaws right in the middle of watching it. For starters, it's a little odd that the loyal U.S. military forces would not arrive and start fighting back a lot sooner than they do. (You would think that they would at least send some air support fairly quickly.) Also, the protagonists have ample opportunity to take the weapons and gear of the fallen enemy combatants, but they only do this ONCE in the entire running time. And the very ending of the movie (which I won't reveal) is for the most part very disappointing, leaving many viewers to think they are being cheated in some way.But fortunately, the movie does work for the most part. It's a very skillfully directed exercise, being that it's directed in a "real" time fashion, with seemingly very few clear edits. Instead, the movie plays out almost like one uninterrupted shot (though if you look real carefully, you will see where there are edits from one shot to another.) The movie also has a feel of authenticity, coming across as a more realistic treatment of the premise than you might think. The action and suspense scenes are also well done, containing a lot of excitement. If you are prepared to overlook those aforementioned (and other) flaws, the movie does manage to be effective enough to make it worth a look during a slow day.

Amateurish and bumbling attempt at a "movie". No redeeming qualities and I suspect some kind of family connection to the industry. Some kind, but misguided parent bought their kid a Hollywood debut. A little honesty and tough love would go a long way.

Did not know what to expect when this started but I rate it the perfect rollercoaster. The cpmplete lack of "Disney complex" earned it top marks in my book. The characters interact like real people under immense stress and there were no unrealistic acts of heroism that so often infects the action genre. BRAVO.

I'll keep this review short, Brittany Snow was quite good. I dont want to give spoilers, but im not sure what the point of this movie is??Is it not to trust others and save yourself? cos if you try to save and help others, you die.The action felt real and good. The fact they remembered their injuries throughout the entire film was refreshing, i still dont get it...
