Standoff (I) (2016)
6/10
It's a decent rental

Warning: Spoilers
If you are expecting a Gun-toting action movie with a lot of back forth shooting sequences. Than I will say this movie is far from it, it's more of a psychological movie where a hit-man played by Laurence Fishburne and a war veteran played by Thomas Jane. It's more of a trash talking movie where each side is trying to win by trash talking and using psychological warfare. Where both sides does bring up some good points about each other and get them to face who they really are. I will say Laurence Fishburne really reminded me of Samuel L. Jackson in this. Where he is out of his mind, but plays it off cool while being a bit loud and yet intimidating. He also brings out few pointers that is either stylish or does make sense to a certain degree. The human consciousness and the will to survive and the will to fight for the ones they love get put into play. And that includes the human morality as well. This isn't a very deep movie or something that will be a cult film in my opinion. But it is a worthy rental, it's simply a decent film to just sit back with a bowl of popcorn with the family and enjoy. The violence is not that bad.
