    Entertaining for what it is. B movie
    I didn't expect a lot and this delivered. It was ok. I think they had to resuscitate Nolte for his part. But hey, it kept my amused for a little over an hour. The plot was disorganized and quite easy to.anticipate but it moves fast and covers a lot of ground for the single location of the hospital. I think the drug angle was overplayed as far as what they were injecting into him. I could have used some more nudity in the coke lab just for entertainment purposes. Just my personal preference though. Josh did a decent job as an agent. The side kick girl would show up at seemingly random times but whatever I made it all the way through.

    Slow motions in 2023?
    True insult of audience. This movie shows lack of expertise. The slow motion scenes reminded me of Japanese cartoons. Count watch more than 30min of it. Did #Netflix paid for it or the director paid Netflix to become famous?

    Still cannot believe I wasted 30min on this! Just don't watch it please. And the soundtrack is another poor art work, high school projects can be better than this one! There's a difference between a bad film and a film I just don't like. A film I don't like may still be well made and may appeal to others. It was a bad film. Still, I have watched films that are "bad" filled with cliches, hammy acting, silly scenes and outrageous, but this one was the worst since Covid started.

    This kinds of movies evidences that big corps like quantity, not quality
    Blackout is such a bad movie that I thought I was watching some Bollywood action parody. It definitely feels like a Bollywood movie with so many slo-mo shots.

    The plot synopsis is interesting enough for a action/crime thriller. Protagonist wakes up after car crash, he does not remember who he is. Cartel is after him because of some bag he had before the crash.

    The problem is that I could not bare watch more than 30 minutes. The acting is terrible, the protagonist seems too perfect, not enough source material for me to keep watching. Time is of the essence for me, so if something is too bad, does not hook me enough, I drop it and go do or watch something else. Be advised, young authors of whatever medium.

    The curveballs that made me quit was a sequence in particular that I will lay out for you with minimum details so not to spoil the "fun": Ex-Machina God handed to our protagonist a machine gun. He walks out, two guys appear in front of him, for some dumb reason they still walk some 10 feet before they start guns blazing. **They are in front of each other, but only the protagonist happens to land shots**. Protagonist walks away, two guys open a door behind him, for another dumb reason, they happen to walk other 10 feet before they start shooting, but they land every other shot in the best Stormtrooper fashion.

    This was when I turned the movie off. I suggest you not even start it.

    Where is it?
    John Cain (Josh Duhamel) escapes his house in a tunnel as it blows up. He has a silver brief case. While driving his car is is peppered with gun fire and crashes. He wakes up restraint in a hospital bed with no memory. Abbie Cornish is there claiming to be his wife. Rather than just go with it he questions it. He then meets a guy named Eddie (Omar Chaparro) claiming to be a close friend. The silver case is what everybody wants. Unlike the case in "Pulp Fiction" we get to discover what is in the case in the end, but never get to see inside. Nick Nolte plays McCoy an old DEA agent. We discover Cain and Eddie were part of a cartel as Cain asks, "Am I a good guy or a bad guy" wishing he had been a carnival worker instead.

    The plot centers around the case and discovering Cain's memory. A number of things happen. One really bad scene is when Cain is running down a narrow hallway with two guys with automatic weapons shooting at him and missing as the shots hit the wall. Cain falls, turns and takes out both guys from an unbalanced floor position. Nick Nolte looked like he could play Keith Richards. Not a very convincing script nor acting.

    Guide: F-word. Nudity. No sex.

    Someone just tell me what happens
    I came here for spoilers because I don't want to finish this dumpster fire of a movie. Only reason I've kept it on as long is because I can't find spoilers to tell me the ending. I need to know who this Constantine looking chick is to Josh. Is that Eddies real hair? Was the budget so small they couldn't have added more then two locations? Why was Nick driving so damn slow to a crime scene like he had no care in the world. What crime scene doesn't have crime scene tape up? Is the DEA on a budget that they gotta have some dude sitting on a box in a yard trying to track a sat phone? Like you couldn't rent a van and throw some monitors up to make it look believable? But seriously someone tell me the ending so I don't have to finish this trash.
