ADVERSE is not exactly the movie you would think of if you want to watch a great movie. It has a score of 4,2 and many negative reviews, and being a big glutton for punishment myself I knew that I had to see it. Last December I saw it and despite I had hopes that it could have been at least decent, it wasn't worth the ride. Please read my text for understanding my rant better.
Ethan (Thomas Nicholas) is a taxy driver that has the job apparently going well. This changes when he discovers that his sister owes money to a dangerous crime syndicate and he is targeted by Kaden (Mickey Rourke) and his men up until the sister finds the money.
I am a thriller and action fan and my hopes were high on that factor. Instead, the shooting scenes were apparently for the sake of having blood splattered and they were very forgettable as well. And seeing Rourke, Lou Diamond Phillips, Sean Astin and Penelope Ann Miller in such a mess is quite embarassing... they are there for few minutes and their occasional lines.
A bit too bloody and not that memorable, just like eating a sandwich of only bread. Only of interest for occasional bad movie watchers or fans of some of the cast members.
