Laughable

"No one sets out to make a bad movie." But they all had to know this one is. Some of the worst acting, directing, and writing you'll ever skim through. I only gave it a 3 out of charity. But they got paid; The viewer gets nothing for wasted time. However, I kind of liked the ending after all that muscle and posturing.

So bad, it's not even good.
kjjames8123 February 2022
There is a film saying that's it's so bad, it's good, like Roadhouse, which is a classic by the way.

Yes every actor has to start somewhere and I got thinking that if Daniel Stisen, sorry if my spelling is wrong, got the money to act in a better film then he could be a really good action star but this movie was beyond bad.

The acting was awful, no stars for that at all.

The fight scenes and yes there were many some good but mostly done in an amateur way.

When Daniel has lines to say and he tries to talk like a cross between Eastwood and Statham and the background music playing you can barely hear him speak.

This movie is on for just about 90 minutes and I struggled to stay the course.

Do yourself a favour and go past this one.

It's so bad, it's not even good.

Bargain bucket Rambo film
Stanlee10722 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
John Wood (*cough Rambo wannabe) tries its best to emulate the original of this genre. However, it does not reach that milestone due to the poor acting, one dimensional characters, wooden actors whereby the trees seem more alive than the actors therein, the cheap special effects, etc.. it is just a farce of a film. Yes, it is one of those films that is so bad that it is unintentionally funny af. Or is it that self aware that the writers are poking fun at the viewer!

Furthermore, it uses a piece of musical that people from the UK associates with a theme/amusement park ride. If I were a cartoon character, my eyes would revert inwards at a 180 degree angle... Aka. I cannot believe what I'm seeing and hearing. It made me chuckle and shake my head in disbelief!

I Hope He Stays Down
damianphelps13 January 2022
This movie is so bad even the nudity is rubbish!!!!

Suck the personality, characters and story out of a movie and what you have left is Last Man Down.

Arnie would not want this guy to 'Get to the chopper'!

Sad but true
frank-liesenborgs31 October 2021
"Last Man Down" is a terrible movie. On the very moment the movie starts, somehow you know already. That scene that is supposed to be tragic and emotional but that lacks any sort of impact thanks to poor acting, bad writing and even the worst placement in the story. Every single effort from the different departments feels amateurish at best and incompetent at worst, making the film virtually unwatchable. And you keep on watching, hoping for improvement. But it gets even worse. Very seldom you will see such a bad story, plot, acting and filming. Sad but true.

No... just no
RobTheWatcher20 February 2022
What an absolute sham of a movie. The fact this is rated above a 5 baffles me. It was atrocious acting, bad violence, and full of more cheesy one liners than an actual script. It looked like I filmed it on my iPhone at time. Just plain pathetic.

Avoid it like a virus.
brainwerx-122 February 2022
The premise was good. The idea made sense. The acting on the other hand... if the movie actually has anyone that wasn't wooden, and could actually carry the movie, or even emote without looking like they crapped their pants it would have been watchable. Sadly, that is not the case. Even the nudity isn't worth the it.

Any Reviews over 4/10 are Fake...
WatchAndSmile30 January 2022
This movie is so bad, if there was an Oscar for one of the worst movies, this move would be at the top. Very low b budget, with very bad actors with very bad story. 2.5/10 all go to cinematography and editing.

Unwatchable garbage
On_The_Mark25 November 2021
Honestly, you have to ask yourself how and why this was made. It's awful on every front. There are no real actors, the script is just terrible. One person wrote in another review "just because you can produce and star in a movie doesn't mean you should." That describes this.

It's supposed to be some end of world type situation where he's living in the woods and a lady comes across his path. The dialog is pretty awful and with their lack of acting skills, it's very hard to get through. You will have to fast forward to get through this mess. Then some bad guys come and there's some terrible fight scenes, they had to be making this up as they went along.

The main guy, who's name is above the title on the poster, it dreadfully awful. The name above the title on the poster is done with big name actors to get people to want to see the movie. There's no one who saw this poster and said "wow, I've got to see that!"

The guy has zero acting skills. He is buffed, clearly spending way more time on his body than his acting. But if you look at his credits, it's all "shorts" (which means it's just him and his buddies making short "films" on his camera) and "uncredited" which is an extra (which literally anyone can do). He has hardlyl any real credits. So why the name above the title? I guess to impress his mom because that's the only person who'd be impressed.

Rarely do I give a one star for something but this one deserves it. Any of the "ten star" reviews you see that rave about this were from people who worked on it. Notice how many other 'reviews' they have.

AVOID.

The Wooden Woodsman
shunter-6918 February 2022
An incredible film.

Truly incredible.

Incredible that it made it into Netflix top 10 movies of the week.

Incredible that these people list their profession as "acting".

Maybe they should have spent less money on protein shakes and more on acting lessons.

I'm only surprised that Bruce Willis didn't make an appearance in it.

OMG What an Amateur movie
fsilverman-5319918 February 2022
I'll make it short and sweet. Every thing about this movie from Director, actors, script, costumes ( new boots?), acting, locations, music, etc. Are just incredibly amateuristic. I watched it for you, don't waste your time....

Fun action virus movie
d-ramseeey21 October 2021
Well-directed, and who doesn't like Daniel Stisen? Reminds me of the 80's schwarzenegger films. Ignore the haters and just watch if you like to see the good guy win. Kudos to everyone involved in this.

"You're not just a random timber man, are you?"
classicsoncall19 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This film has to hold the record for the most wood chopped in a single picture. Combine that with the generally wooden acting throughout, and the fact that the main character's name is John Wood, and you've got a 'wood trifecta' that can't be matched. If Ed Wood were still around, he could have had a hand in making it.

I guess you could credit the movie for trying to be topical. The military types gunning for Maria (Olga Kent) all wear virus masks, as if we needed yet another reminder that our daily lives are inundated with mandates to protect ourselves by quarantining and social distancing. Maria had it pretty much right when she said, "The one controlling the vaccine controls the virus, and the one controlling the virus controls life". I thought Dr. Fauci would show up any minute.

This is a Rambo-style flick that hits on most of the cliches for this type of action picture. They even utilize the old saw of the principal opposing characters being brothers, which looked like a stretch to me since Commander Stone (Daniel Nehme) didn't look anything remotely like John Wood (Daniel Stisen). Doesn't matter, the flick ends on somewhat of a whimper with Maria surrendering after Wood kills Stone, and none of the bad guy's commandos even cared. Looks like they were setting up a sequel with the ending, but if that was the case, they shouldn't have called this one "Last Man Down".

It roundtrips past "so bad it's good" back to "awful"
World-viewer21 October 2021
A bunch of Swedish bodybuilders get together one night, and over a kegger and bawdy jokes watching 80s Schwarzenegger movies and decide "hey, we can do this too! Why not? We have the bods, the butts, the buff legs and arms m, and can find a babe. And no way that Austrian accent is better than our socialized Norwegian patois soaked in English. Plus we've signed up a nude model to do decidedly non-nude scenes. Our dialogues will be ripped straight from 80s VHS tapes with no context and dripping with enough cheese to start a Dominos franchise. What could possibly go wrong????"

And they try. I stress, they really really try. They bulge their biceps together, not groom their bustling beards, and give it the old bodybuilder try. If this was movie school they'd get an A for effort. Not very entertaining, but it's fun watching them take it seriously when they know the world is doubled down trying to keep it in. But boy do they try. It is like watching a bunch of toddlers make something that only they can be proud of. Actually at times it is so bad as to make you lose control as you guffaw out loud, just before the appalling realization - damn, I just wasted 30 minutes I will never get back - dawns on you. No Thank you to you Fansu and Daniel.

I Think All The Gym Work Buddies Made a Movie Together
Scotslad_00722 January 2022
Very difficult to watch, very predictable from the very first 5 minutes to how the last 10 minutes would play out. I think these actors would work in another style movie but this format reveals all the flaws from writing to acting.

Just because you CAN write produce and star in a movie...
john-lancia-121 October 2021
Doesn't necessarily mean you should. This is some bad crap. The star of the show should take some acting lessons instead of hitting the gym seven days a week.

Just go watch an old Die Hard Movie
JCinHB20 October 2021
Ok, this can be worth having on the TV if you are doing something else, but don't make popcorn to watch this movie like I did, because you will simply be bummed out you ate a bunch of popcorn for nothing. Just go watch an 80's action flick, you will be more entertained.

Why, why did I watch this?
gpxdlr20 February 2022
This has got to be the worse film I've seen on netflix in 2022. There have been bad ones but this is really really bad. Bad everything...acting, script, action...EVERYTHING.

Actor/Writer made this to show off his arms...
DarlingLlama19 October 2021
...and his inability to speak any coherent words.

I swear he mumbled to the whole time.

This movie is about as generic and cliched as you could possibly get.

Actor/Director should stick to steroids and pumping his guns, because he has no talent for writing or acting or speaking or enunciating.

Hard work.
Sleepin_Dragon17 February 2022
The opening scenes I thought were pretty good, and I hoped would set up a pretty decent thriller....

Sadly they didn't, it was all downhill after that, it really doesn't work on any level. I think the writer has perhaps expressed their ideas of the Covid pandemic through this movie, and portrayed a somewhat bleak viewpoint. The story really doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

The almost sympathetic music clashes annoyingly with the gruff voice of Daniel Stisen, it really doesn't work at all.

Positives.....they are few and far between, if you're into dudes with great bodies, then you'll enjoy the many shots of Daniel Stisen's impressive physique, at times that seemed to be the only focus, it gets a little tiresome after a while. Some good action scenes I guess.

Not worth your time sadly, 4/10.

Huge waist of time
the_real_smile20 October 2021
Me 98th review, let me break this movie down. This movie revolves around a guy who hides in the woods to escape some sort of virus disaster. The main characters try to speak English, but fail, sounds like a high school play from an East Europe country. The story is very frustrating, they constantly make the most terrible decisions. The make-up, their beards etc. Look awful, they tried to make it look bad-ass but also failed on that front. I wish they had put their money into the movie instead of the obvious fake 10 star votes, almost 5500 (!!!) of them and almost no 9, 8, 7, etc votes.

Not even good enough to waste words on a review
tim-8875815 June 2022
Imagine Rambo with worse acting and even more terrible writing. Trite and boring at best. The only reason I kept watching was to see if, through some miracle, it redeemed itself. It didn't.

WHY? WHY? WHY?
jimsteward-9645714 August 2022
I am a sucker for a train wreck and this did not disappoint!. The director/lead actor talked a bunch of his gym buddies to appear in his wood chopping extravaganza. There are no God's that would have saved ANYONE'S acting in this movie. I even think Odin gave me a case of the trots so I had to keep getting up to get away from this movie, giving me time to contemplate my poor choice in time spending. And yet I am not a quitter... even on a completely dead plot, actingless, emotionless void that was on the screen before me. Watch at your own risk, but abandon all hope before you hit PLAY.

Highly Entertaining
cynvanity19 October 2021
I really didn't know what to expect but thankfully I watched it. The film does have it's flaws but entertainment wise it was great. Good action flick and Daniel Stisen for sure has that perfect look you would expect in a movie like this. The film is low budget and not your typical Hollywood film so have that in the back of your mind before watching this. Giving it a 7.

Well this was awful
Gringoen18 February 2022
Not that i managed to see the whole movie, but the 30 minutes i wasted was all about the shaky camera and bad acting. Special effects are lacking. Do not waste your time here.
