Member DragonClaws Posted February 22, 2018 Member Share Posted February 22, 2018 Dave Bautista stars as Frank Knox, in this Scott Mann(The Tournament) directed actioner. With the towering Martial Artist Martyn Ford(Accident Man, Boyka Undisputed) among the cast, there should be some Martial Arts action?. It's not like Bautista is a stranger to that genre, appearing in the Kickboxer re-make, and the up-coming Ip Man spin-off. Not much info on this moive for now, but according to IMDB it's in post-production. Lucy Gaskall(The Last Drop) and Ray Stevenson(Thor Ragnarok) also appear on the movies cast list. Bautista, in the Rob Van Damme movie, The Wrong Side Of Town(2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted June 26, 2018 Author Member Share Posted June 26, 2018 This looks like Sudden Death, set in a football stadium. While Scott Adkins movie regular Martyn Ford doesnt appear in the Teaser, sure he will have a one o one brawl with Bautista. More like a DTV flick, when compared to some of Dave Bautista's other recent outing's. While it's only a Sky movie original production, it could still be entertaining low brow fare.

Member whitesnake Posted September 18, 2018 Member Share Posted September 18, 2018 Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release Final Score on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital in the U.S. on November 13, 2018. Special features include video commentary, deleted scenes, and "Setting the Final Score" featurette. Mongrel Media releases a bi-lingual version of "Le score final" on the same date in Canada. Rotten Tomatoes - critics rate it at 71% fresh; audience rating - 55% like it. Empireonline.com review - "A nice idea, and the setting makes it instantly more interesting to a UK audience, but it's let down by lapses into cliché and by simply not being audacious enough with its action set-pieces." Slantmagazine.com review - "Like the film that contains him, Knox is a copy of a copy, short of the details that distinguish a true original. There have been plenty of decent Die Hard derivatives, but Final Score offers too little novelty to be included among their ranks." Variety.com - "Park your brain cells in the lobby, and this U.K. production about a terrorist attack on a London soccer stadium - with Dave Bautista as Bruce Willis plus 100 or so extra pounds of muscle - is an entertainingly over-the-top ride that doesn't even try to be 'credible'." From reviews on Metacritic.com - timeout.com - "It is wittier, warmer and more unpredictable than it has any right to be." L.A. Times - "The characters are familiar movie types sufficiently fleshed out and well performed to hit all the emotional and comedic cues. The fight scenes and stunts - especially a masterfully choreographed motorcycle chase throughout the stadium - and a lack of obvious CGI provide the requisite thrills." The Guardian - "Final Score puts a cheeky British spin on the set-up." The Hollywood Reporter - "Bautista has the low-key charisma, natural appeal and formidable physicality necessary for an action star, and he makes Final Score worth watching (at home while eating pizza and drinking beer, preferably) despite its endlessly derivative elements."

Member AlbertV Posted September 18, 2018 Member Share Posted September 18, 2018 https://worldfilmgeek.com/2018/09/14/final-score-2018/ It's a throwback to 80's/early 90's big action films, but what I liked is that Dave Bautista was not the big action hero type in the film, but rather a flawed character who suffered from PTSD and still reeling from the loss of his fallen comrade, whom he treated as a brother. It was like he only had to fight when he needed to. Ray Stevenson made for a pretty good villain without having to be over-the-top. I liked it.
