Trailer of Castle Falls exposes whole plot of a movie. Initially, it could be excellent. Scriptwriter Andrew Knauer wrote astonishing The Last Stand and idea of different people hunting for moneybags in building, which will be soon exploded is still magnificent one. Dolph Lundgren as a director can make egregious flicks (The Defender, Missionary Man, Command Performance.), but he doesn’t make them in triviality. Mafia States of America was in awaiting while I could watch Castle Falls or another “movie of a week” with Bruce Willis who became a rip-off of himself since 2014.
It’s impressive how Lundgren does creative in telling by camera. I like that he enters naturalness as a mobile phone rings in a middle of conversation. The director also gives opportunities of more drama for his and Scott Adkins personages by disclosing their solid talents. Dolph Lundgren mostly evades to use patterns in building of scenes while he didn’t it with predictability of screenplay, which lost to be understandable in coming of fights and shootings. Solutions with characters in dangerous situation and confrontation moments often without wit. Many characters do Figaro in floor relocating of a big building. Nevertheless, everything in passive activity what makes longer for hour and half. Unnatural and lifeless almost all fights, which I accepted for lightly sparring. Exception was between characters of Lundgren and Adkins. Acting is fine at total without taking a cartoon behavior of so evil guard and Dolph’s daughter Ida needs a little more lessons. However, Castle Falls is another DVD on Walmart shelves.
