“Hey John, you are one bad motherfucker.”
“Sure I am. Grab some water. Things are gonna burn tonight.”
Sample dialogue from this mumble-grunt action movie which is about as cerebral as the cushion you’re sitting on.
The plot?
The cast of the Norwegian WWE franchise decides to make a movie in a forest. There’s been a war and a plague which is unlucky and everyone hates each other and thinks they might be carrying the plague.
The first 30 minutes of the film are populated by our hero, John Wood (played by enormodrome Daniel Stisen), doing various bits of DIY (chopping wood, hammering things). All this time he’s experiencing flashbacks to the terrible things that have happened. He seems sad.
A lady arrives. She has been shot. Soldiers come to get her. It’s important they don’t get her. John Wood will stop them.
Then, a lot of actors grunt lines from Sun Tzu’s Art of War.
“I prepare for war, but pray for peace.”
You know the sort of thing.
I won’t spoil the rest. Safe to say you’ve seen this movie done better by various action stars dozens of times before. Mamoa did a few of them in the last 10 years.
