The Screen Addict Recommends โ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐ธ (๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฑ)
๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐ธ is an enjoyable B-movie for those of us who donโt mind stretching their suspension of disbelief a little bit. Itโs the kind of title that would have made a fortune on home video back in The Nineties.
One does wonder though, why Mel Gibson signed on to helm this fun-but-forgettable quickie. I mean, it is somewhat of an oddity in the directorโs otherwise rather weighty filmography.
Could it be that this was a quid pro quo between Lionsgate and Gibson? Direct ๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐ธ for us and weโll help finance ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐?
Iโm just speculating, of course. And whatever the backstory is, itโs a win-win for us film lovers!
Seek it out & get your fix.
