Take Point (2018)
2/10
B-movie with horrible dialogue rife with cliches
22 November 2020
Disclosure: I only made it to the first shootout. I couldn't take it anymore.

I usually don't give 2 star ratings, but when I do...

Look. Given the current sorry state of the American politics, some parts of the premise are not as outlandish, sadly. I also understand that with the cultural differences, Korean filmmakers may not always be able to depict the Americans very accurately (even though Okja, The Host, Snowpiercer had zero issues there... but fine).

But the dialogue! OMG, the dialogue!!! Did they hire Tommy Wiseau as an advisor on all things American?

The plot stops making sense when the handler agrees to disobey the orders and split the reward. With a bunch of illegal aliens. While in a room full of government employees. (Who will not get that reward.)

Apparently, the Mexican guy is participating in an elite operation with global geopolitical consequences so that he can stay in the US (or not?) and buy a farm in Mexico.

The American hacker (?) is a former security guard who wanted to help because he saw a woman dying on the street.

Yikes. Blech.
