BRING HIM TO ME (2023) REVIEW

 

"Bring Him To Me 2023" swings into action with all the gusto of a crime boss wasting ammo—loud, flashy, and leaving shell casings scattered like confetti at a gangster's wedding.

In this heist-and-its-aftermath thriller directed by Luke Spark, bullets fly like they're auditioning for a lead role in a John Wick sequel. I mean, who needs an excuse to unload a magazine when you can just keep firing until the budget runs dry? Perhaps the crime pays so well that they can afford to splurge on unnecessary ammo. Or maybe it's a twisted form of performance art, showcasing their marksmanship to an audience of fellow crooks. Either way, it's a spectacle to behold, even if it does leave one wondering about the logistics of shell casing disposal.

But amidst the cacophony of gunfire, "Bring Him To Me" manages to inject a few fresh elements into the tired old heist genre. Barry Pepper, sporting a face that looks like it's seen more action than a retired stuntman, leads the charge as the unnamed Driver. And let's not forget his sidekick, the equally anonymous Passenger, played by Jamie Costa, whose wide-eyed innocence shines through his criminal facade like a flashlight in a dark alley.

As the two dads embark on a perilous journey, we're treated to a car-bound odyssey that's part "Locke" and part... well, let's not mention "Sympathy for the Devil." Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including the always-welcome Sam Neill and Rachel Griffiths, who add a dash of Aussie flair to the proceedings.

Sure, the plot may twist and turn like a getaway car navigating a winding road, but it's the performances that keep us buckled up for the ride. And while "Bring Him To Me" may not reinvent the wheel, it certainly knows how to spin it in style.

So buckle up, grab your popcorn, and get ready for a wild ride. Just don't forget your earplugs—those gunshots can be deafening!
