A fair shoot 'em up action flick
If you're looking for lots of blood, then you might enjoy this film. It's something we're seen a thousand times before. Only not as well done. It's basically about a team who break into a bank, looking for a container of deadly poison The team is working for a generic Middle-easterner.
The action centers around a vet, who's breaking up with his wife. When she goes to the bank with her daughter, they're taken hostage along with a bunch of other people. As luck would have it, Michael, the husband goes in to rescue them. It turns out, the leader of the hostage takers used to be an army buddy of his, who left him for dead in a battle in Syria.
So the two sides battle it out. And of course, it ends up with the two of them battling it out, mano-a-mano! It was not a bad flick overall. However the wife and daughter were absolutely horrible. They could have done a lot better.

Decent Movie, but Definitely Not Anything to Brag Home About
Last Resort is a decently good movie, though all of the blemishes of a budget film.
The acting is a bit poor with many of the dialogue between characters feeling disjointed and loosing the flow. But there are certain actors that performed better then others when it comes to this.
The visual affects are what you can expect from an average budget film, with it being alright with some of the smaller effects though showing its faults with the larger things (like breaking the law of physics.)
The story of the movie is alright but takes a couple of minutes to really start to make sense.
Overall, while not being a particularly amazing film or anything to brag home about, it's definitely not a terrible movie either. If you're looking for a decent budget film to watch, then this may be good for you.

Action Packed
Excellent gunfighting and hand-to-hand combat. The plot is fairly straightforward. A soldier on R and R fights about 50 villains to save his wife and daughter from terrorists who have taken over a bank in Thailand. The plot exists to serve the action, not the other way around. So sit back and enjoy the ride. The gunfighting is well choreographed and staged. I found it more realistic and the last few John Wicks. The two hand-to-hand fights are brutal, long, and also well choreographed. I'm now going to see what else John Foo has starred in to see if I've missed any good action shows. I watched one of his earlier films recently (Extraction) and was impressed by his skills. Will check to see if he's done anything else. One thing for sure, if you watch it you will not be bored.

Loved this movie. Watch it now.
This movie was great. Almost from beginning to end. I don't love a lot of movies, but I loved this one. Jam packed with action. Gun play, grenades, bombs, hostages and a good deal of martial arts including knife play. There's some edge of your seat moments, remember this is a B movie. It's not Die Hard, but for a B movie I really enjoyed it. Pop the popcorn, dim the lights and watch the movie for what it is. Okay, This the part where I have said all that I need to say, but they force me to write 600 words. So you can stop reading now cuz I can't think of anything else worthwhile to say except.....Nuff Said Mike Out.
