Review Time

Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects/medical/shooting/stabbing

Storyline/Characters [Character developments]/Action/Comedy/Performances: now and again at some point these components combined; the storyline is something solid; the viewers meet this criminal in doing this criminal activity, accompanying this criminal activity the viewers here these many news reports of this criminal quickly getting a reputation and get given the name of "The In-and-Out Bandit" or his real name is Tom Dolan/Neeson that is also an ex-US Marine and demolitions expert, but will do the right thing to have a clean start with his girlfriend Annie Wilkins/Kate Walsh, but this goes far than according to plan. The pacing for most part until roughly around Tom Dolan/Neeson seeking revenge is slow and steady and then after this it gets fluently moving with a get up and go to it.

I will give you a somewhat detailed description of this action and comedy sequence of events, but I will miss out some bits and pieces, because I don't want to give too much away. So we have Dolan/Neeson and Wilkins/Walsh sitting outside in his van on the far side of the street from FBI Agent John Nivens/Courtney house/home, he telephones FBI Agent John Nivens/Courtney, I am paraphrasing here; if he is going to confess which in a nutshell he declines, so Dolan/Neeson begins counting from 10 downwards with this device in his hand, which FBI Agent John Nivens/Courtney get the idea he isn't messing around so he quickly escapes from his house just in time before it explodes, Wilkins/Walsh is briefly amazed by what she sees and to finish off this section Dolan/Neeson does say and this is just an exact "If I wanted you dead you would be dead." To highlight that he doesn't miss; this is all good.

The performances are good or if this is what the director Mark Williams [written by him and Steve Allrich] was aiming for they gave it to him.

 This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; as this relates to my previous comment these FBI characters to begin with are blasé about this confession by Dolan/Neeson and I get why what with other people claiming to be "The In-and-Out Bandit" but there is being blasé and then there is being; being polite " We couldn't care less" this in turn doesn't help this film in the slightest it takes the entire cast to get this film on track again, so after this I would say combined with the pacing getting up and going, and character types and the performances but however if you are a fan of either Liam Neeson, Kate Walsh [associated with the US TV program Grey's Anatomy from 2005 to 2012 and 2021 amongst other things,] Jeffrey Donovan as Agent Sean Meyers [best known for the US TV program Burn Notice 2007-2013 as the lead character Michael Weston and the TV film Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe; character of the same name,] take a look at this film and finally when this was first dictated this project has one Nomination to its name Hawaii Film Critics Society 2021; HFCS Award; Worst Film of the Year.
