Bring Him to Me

This movie had middling acting, a plot which was somehow both rote and novel for all the wrong reasons, and the ending was incoherent (I think they're setting up a sequel?). Barry Pepper is the man though, I wish it the movie was better because he was fun in it. Little Bit boring in the middle. They just killed 2 guys and they're just sat in the car talking about their kids and fathers etc. Like get out of dodge buddy. Just slow drag. Still confused by the ending. Meh...they need to stop trying to make middle aged women menacing villains. Although Lena Headey in Dredd pulled it off. Terrible, terrible, awful movie. SN NZ.

"Bring Him To Me" delivers a thrilling joyride as a getaway driver grapples with morality under a crime boss's orders. Despite the tension, it's surprisingly easy to unwind with - perfect for a laid-back Friday night. The film's brevity stands out among longer blockbusters, making it an ideal choice for casual viewing. The storyline, though not overly complex, packs in enough twists to keep things interesting. This guy's movie serves up a satisfying blend of action - from intense shooting scenes to adrenaline-pumping drives. It's a concise, gripping tale that hits all the right notes for a recommended watch, especially with a cold beer in hand and company to share the ride.

Trailer looked like a lean and mean noir and right up my alley. I guess the trailer showed me too much or the script was AI generated (I kid?). Let's start with cinematography. It does pay homage to Mann's style but when the scriptwriting is weak, and when you're looking at the cinematography for a redemptive need or want to finish the film, then well, I can see why some would just shut this off and go outside for a walk for the last hour. It's a formulaic crime "thriller" shrouded in finger pointing with the weight of the red herring in the room (and every scene) as you can feel the familiar twist just waiting to divulge itself. It finally does and it really has lost most of its own steam when it does, as it was more of an "ah" moment versus an enthusiastic "AHA!" It's not a terrible film, it's just a straight line operation, no one to route for, no single character stands out, the crusty ole veteran criminal, the young prodigy trying to earn a living the wrong way, and a garage full of criminality lead by a strangely accented woman...is that a comedic take on a Boston accent from a film made in Australia? Yikes. Boring, derivative, and just suffers a serious case of low energy.

This movie races into the cinematic scene with a relentless plot as a getaway driver faces a moral dilemma dictated by a ruthless crime boss. The film, while far from a laid-back watch, offers an engaging experience without taxing your brain. Its concise duration distinguishes it from today's lengthy blockbusters, making it a convenient choice for a casual Friday night. The narrative, though straightforward, weaves in enough surprises to maintain audience interest. This action-packed film is a quintessential guy's movie, encompassing intense shootouts and heart-pounding driving sequences. A quick, thrilling story with the right blend of elements makes it a solid recommendation, especially for those seeking a high-octane escape.

"Bring him to me" takes you on a wild ride right from the get-go produced in Queensland, but the crazy thing is, you'd swear it's set in the good ol' USA. Barry Pepper, the gritty Driver, is like a true-blue Aussie battler, working for the ice-cold crime boss Veronica, played by Rachel Griffiths (who could have had a better accent....) This flick is a ripper of a journey through a stormy night, packed with dodgy characters and a decent showdown. Director Luke Sparke pulls it off without breaking the bank, making it look like they threw ten times the cash at it. And would you believe, there's a fair bit of heart in this crime yarn? Tom Evans' script is a breath of fresh air - you never know which way it's gonna swing. And that car? It's a beaut! Chuck "Bring him to me" on your must-see list, you won't be disappointed!

Immersive ensemble, coupled with a well-crafted plot, ensures an evening of sheer entertainment! The car scenes, expertly executed, elevate the viewing experience, while Barry Pepper's charismatic portrayal injects an intense and captivating attitude. Highly recommend this gem if you're a fan of drama, Australian productions, and stellar performances by great actors. Anticipating the next creation from Luke and his brilliant, talented team! Big things lie ahead, and I'm eagerly awaiting the cinematic brilliance they'll unveil! Go and see it on the big screen if you can for the full experience 👏🏻

I like the tone and the vibe of this thing. But it's massively flawed. SPOILERS FOLLOW: The biggest problem is the ending. The story trips and stumbles a few times on the way there but the movie completely gives up on trying to make sense in the last ten minutes. The Rachel Griffiths character kills the young hero and the guy who was a bit too wild. Meanwhile she knows all the time that it's the driver who ripped her off and she pays him and lets him go. Why? Who knows. The movie makes no attempt to justify this. As soon as she lets him go she sends her other henchman to hunt him down, even though nobody would think that would be easy. Miraculously the henchman finds the driver and they fight and the driver wins. He then calls the police and only says that the younger character is dead. No information that would lead to either his body or Rachel so why is that useful? What sort of ending is that? What is he going to do? Where is he going to go? He's even more lost than at the start of the movie. The direction is also problematic. Way too many shots of the gun in the glovebox. Characters talk and shout in ways that don't feel natural. Repeated shots of the same text message! And whose phone sends them sequential messages when they get close to their destination? I'm pretty skeptical that the very high scoring reviews here are authentic.

Mate, this film was a ripper! But fair dinkum, that mob boss's accent was dodgier than a kangaroo on a unicycle. I reckon they should've snagged an American actor - doesn't matter if they're not top-shelf, at least their accent wouldn't be as mixed up as a goanna in a blender. The rest of the cast was spot on, though. Aussie films usually bore me more than a lecture on driver safety, but this one had me hooked from the get-go. Visually, it was sweeter than a Tim Tam slam in Sydney Harbour! Even the missus stayed awake for the whole thing - a miracle, I tell ya! Give it a burl, mate - fair dinkum recommend. Can't wait to chuck it on the telly again, maybe with a cold one in hand. Cheers!

Despite initial reservations due to its low IMDb score and mixed reviews, I took a chance on this movie. After enduring Mean Girls 2, I was pleasantly surprised by this film's engaging cast, thrilling action, sharp dialogue, and overall enjoyable experience. Unlike my recent viewing, I was fully engaged, never reaching for my phone, and would gladly watch it again. In a world where quality Australian productions are scarce, especially post-COVID, this movie stands out with its impactful storytelling, familiar faces, and a craving for more. I'm a fan and eagerly anticipate sharing it with my friends!
