Just finished....movie trope after movie trope after movie trope....(spoilers blacked out)..


Wow....if there were ever a thing called "visual plagiarism" this flick is it....talk about the overuse of movie tropes.

This might be a good flick for those that have never seen First Blood with Sylvester Stallon or the other countless other being-hunted movies out there.

How many times are creators going to use the "stitch up their own wound to portray toughness." And how two of the main characters are killed by turning their back on what they thought were subdued killers. Or, not grabbing a lethal weapon when available - the woman completely ignored the handgun and picked up the rifle leaving the handgun behind. And then, her own carelessness around the killers when the husband pleaded with her that if given the chance they were going to kill her. Just completely lazy writing and overuse of tropes.
