Hot Seat

Room

Although the story was not new it was not very predictable. The production was of low budget and was evident by the lesser known actors performances. However Kevin ,Mel, Shannen & Eddie's acting chops was enough to keep me entertained for most of the show. I am sure the entourage will agree that Johnny Drama did good.

Acting bad... even worse than Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage... Script was a load of garbage and a totally unreal plot that could never happen... And where did they get the girl from? Oh yea, and that dumb-looking, low IQ gung-ho cop!!!??? Can't believe I watched it to the end? Feel bad about it and even after 3 days, I can't get over having watched it so... perhaps I'm getting some sort of closure by reviewing it and saving some other poor soul from watching it!

This film start with a car been exploded, and a man back to his house scene! As turnout, this film is about an ex-hacker "Orlando" need to help a villain "Enzo" to rob a bunch of bankers, and eventually save his family! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the flashbacks scene, overuse of the countdown scene, overuse of the hacking scene, and overuse of the ordering scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, Enzo been killed, and family of Orlando been saved! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

Even 3.8 stars average is too high for this trash, so I will bring the average down with my one-star. Movies like these are meant to be made as a gag, shown once to your close circle of enemies, and then the movie project deleted from your computer. Why waste thousands of hours of people's time with such trash??? Even YT has better content these days...

The movie is not that bad at all, we all have so high expectations these days, for a action thriller with low budget is absolutely worth watching, but the very best part is seeing Shannen Doherty well and acting, that beats even the quality of the movie.

Even with his resume full of filmmaking experience, director James Cullen Bressack still keeps giving us amateur C grade boring films. Once again he failed to direct his cast properly, especially Doherty. Only Gibson and Dillon (barely) held their own without cast direction. Then Bressack just kept giving us long dragged out and mostly unnecessary scenes. The writing by Leon Langford and Collin Watts was cliched, stale, inept, predictable and boring, especially making the normally comfortable 99 min film feel much longer with the slow pacing and constant computer screen garble. Don't get me started on the plot and technical issues that riddled this mess. You will lose your patience waiting for the ending credits that offer zero reward. It's a very generous 4/10 from me, mostly for the pity that Dillion and Gibson had to endure to get through this one.

I watched it while I'm having Covid ... Covid is more forgiving than this movie . The movie is disappointed on every aspect..Im wondering why would a legend likeel Gibson accept such a weak role in a weak movie to get some cash . In the sniper scene at least bring more like a real Sniper to the set ....that Rifle looks fake from 10 miles away.

Fade in: the camera follows pedestrians on their morning commute. You know what's about to happen at any minute. There's no suspense. A bomb detonates sending pedestrians flying in the air from the explosion. One of the victims does a triple axel spin into the frame and it's one of the worst choreographed stunts I've ever seen in a film. That's when I knew, this film was not serious. Plot Thicc Hot Seat is a cyber thriller about an ex-hacker who's framed for hacking banks and transferring money into his account and into the account of an unknown man who's wired the hacker's seat with explosives to ensure his demands are met. Kevin Dillon plays a miscreant hacker turned IT specialist who helps customers troubleshoot computer issues. (The customer he helps sounds like Kitboga using his classic old lady voice). It's unintentionally funny. He gets called in to work on this particular day (that also happens to be his daughter's birthday). Kev is forced to hack banking institutions and digitally siphon millions of dollars and transfer to an unknown bank robber who's wired his desk seat with a bomb. If he even tries to get out of this seat, it explodes like the morning street bomb. This robber (a culprit who's obvious immediately) speaks to Kevin through an intercom and security camera. He uses Kevin's past computer crimes and uses it to his advantage. He also has eyes on Kevin's wife and daughter, so he's left no choice but to comply. Meanwhile, Mel Gibson plays a bomb expert, 30 years past his prime. Since the first transfer is to Kevin's bank, he suspects that Kevin is doing this on his own volition and has snipers outside on the roof waiting for the perfect shot. Mel must sneak into this building, undetected, to deactivate the bomb and try to save any civilians. This film wants so badly to be SPEED and DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE, but it fails miserably. Shannon Doherty plays Mel's captain. She's given nothing to do in this film. She chews gum, which is a prop to make her seem threatening and bureaucratic. All she does is stand by, gripping her.2-way radio, waiting for her team to fill her in. Sam Ashgari plays Kevin's coworker who conveniently ordered lunch for breakfast,. But when his order gets mixed up, he leaves to get it fixed. You can guess what part he plays in all this. The dialogue in this film is so camp. The action sequences are so weak. Kevin Dillon sounds like Johnny Drama. Mel Gibson maintains one facial expression the entire movie. Shannon Doherty looks bored in every scene. Sam Ashgari gives it away immediately. This is one of the worst films of the year.

What's happened to Hollywood. Good grief man I just looked at 19 movies in a row on pic on dish and not one was rated 5 or above and same with prime! Netflix has gone down the tubes with their joke of homemade crap. What's going on? Do they let just any idiot have a few million to produce and direct movies now? Obviously they do! How do they make money on this crap? Disgusting...
