The Doorman

فيلم جيد!

فيلم جيد!

Everything was so poorly written and choreographed. If I had watched a preview first I never would have paid for it.

Imagine Steven Seagal's body-double is offered his own action movie... a low-budget "Die Hard" clone. Then imagine that Seagal needs his body double on a shoot in Kyrgyzstan, so they have to re-cast the film at the last minute. The only person available is Ruby Rose, a second-rate Angelina Jolie, with no discernable acting talent. Then imagine Jean Reno has run out of money... and takes this clichéd bad-guy role to pay off his debts to Luc Besson. That's "The Doorman".

The movie starts decent enough and seemed to be interesting at first. As it goes on though, it starts to fall apart. A lot of totally constructed scenes, stupid decisions of protagonists that usually only happen in horror movies, plus some really bad acting let the whole thing down. Jean Reno does a good enough job, but with a little care and much better writing it all could have been much more enjoyable. Think "Die Hard", but badly made.

This movie is basically Die Hard if the writers, director, and editor were all drunk. And I don't care how low budget your movie is, you should still sport for a military consultant/choreographer in your action film about a ex-military hero.

I saw "The Doorman", starring Ruby Rose-Batwoman_tv, The Meg; Rupert Evans-The Man in the High Castle_tv, Hellboy_2004; Aksel Hennie-The Cloverfield Paradox, The Martian and Jean Reno-Alex Cross, Godzilla_1998. This is a low budget-but entertaining-female version of Die Hard. It was filmed in Bucharest, Romania. Ruby plays a Marine veteran serving on a protection detail overseas that goes badly. After being discharged, she returns to New York looking for a job. Her uncle gets her one as a doorman-actually, she should be called a doorwoman-at the hotel he works at. Rupert plays her brother in law that just happens to live in the same hotel-what a coincidence! His wife-Ruby's sister-was killed in a car accident, so Rupert is a single father to 2 kids. The hotel is being renovated so it is mostly empty-only a few couples are still in the building, including Rupert and his kids-and Jean comes looking for something that just happens to be hidden in one of the hotel's rooms. Jean brings henchmen along to help with the hunt and Aksel is in charge of them. Ruby has to take the thieves out one by one and protect her relatives in the hotel, all while looking capable of fighting men twice her size and beating them. It does stretch believability just a tad, but it is entertaining. It's rated "R" for violence, language and drug use and has a running time of 1 hour & 37 minutes. I enjoyed it enough that I would buy it on DVD.

I saw this film 2 weeks ago and was stuck with the story and action its a popcorn flix nothing else and yes it has a woman kicking ass an normally im not for it but this was really good and kept me on my seat for the hole movie even had a great ending something I have not seen before also i like how jean reno had more of a role then i thought he might have and the lead actress i think i remember from xxx 2017 cause she look for miler anyway just watch it for what is is and nothing else have fun and don't listen to the bad reviews
