Acceleration (2019)
5/10
Higher production value would had helped
30 March 2020
I rented this movie based on Dolph Lundgren's name and the plot looked alright. I was expecting one of those low budget DTV action movie and this is mostly what i got.

To be honest, the lead actress who plays Rhona, Natalie Burns, is actually pretty good. Her acting is better than to be expected in these type of movies, and her fight scenes are not bad at all. Sean Patrick Flanery looks like he has fun in his role too. Danny Trejo and Rampage Jackson are simply cameo, do not expect much from them. Surprisingly Dolph and Liddel's action parts were very slow, sluggish and not really entertaining, wich is a bummer.

The plot is pretty simple, and will not amaze you by any means but it kinda do the job.

Where it hurt the most tough is the very low budget production value. The gun special effects are terrible, the picture/lightning/sets look low budget too, and despite the title do not expect any high octane car chases.

But overall i still had a decent time, mostly due to Natalie and Sean's performance and it was fine for a beer friday night movie evening. I think with a much bigger production value, this could had been a pretty solid action flick, but it was not to be. Still end up decent to me tough. But clearly if you are used to big budget action movie, you may not like it.
