Check Point (2017)
1/10
A waste (Spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
This doesn't even have good cinematography.

Bad acting, poorly done fight scenes, bad directing, and bad screenplay.

Neither side deserved much sympathy -- protagonists or antagonists.

This was a story about psychopathic patriots who wanted to restore America to its Constitutional roots. While I'm all for reversing the political erosion America has suffered at the hands of greedy politicians and corporate officers, this story does not portray such patriots favorably. Instead, it seems to favor the blind, naive fake patriots who don't see the corruption and are willing to follow orders no matter what kind of damage is done.

And while I could almost root for the protagonists, fighting against bloodthirsty antagonists, holding the status quo is just as much a betrayal. There are far, far better ways to start the revolution the Founding Fathers warned us we would need to create to refresh the font of liberty.

For all the money spent on special effects (clearly not much), they should've spent it all on a better script. At least with a good story, they wouldn't be wasting all their money, even with poor acting and directing.
