This movie was actually surprisingly good. I had little expectations to the movie, and hadn't even heard about it prior to finding it on Netflix. Despite this, I gave it a chance because Antonio Banderas do put a good movie out there every now and again."Security" turned out to be one of those good movies. Luckily.The storyline was good and nicely constructed, although a bit generic. But you will be well enough entertained throughout the course of the movie.The movie also had some good acting from an interesting and good ensemble of cast. Aside from Antonio Banderas, the movie also has some good performances from Ben Kingsley and Cung Le."Security" is loaded with action, and the action sequences were quite intense and also well-executed on the screen. And the abundance of action actually does soften the blow of the movie having a generic storyline.
Just like his character who was overqualified for the role of security officer, Banderas is overqualified for this TV movie. Overall not bad, but not good.
Didn't get much more than 4 just because of the cheesy s**t that went on. But the stunts were cool! And seeing Cung Le throwing his weight around was pretty good. Have to say I seen it online and didn't think it would be great but didn't disappoint I recommend checking it out if your having a chill evening and fancy a bit of gun foolery and some cheesy one liners. All in all an pretty ok movie
If you are a fan of Banderas you don't need me to convince you to watch this. On the other hand, you may want to watch his other stuff where the script works better and he has more things to do. On the other hand, if you have a heart for B-Action movies you may find something you like in here. The action is decent, even if ridiculous at points (like one convenient moment where a sniper could've ended it all, but ... well you'll see, if you see the movie).There is strangely enough some dragging time wise, even though the running time is not that long. Just the job thing goes on to long. It's not like any viewer will remember the location or geography of it all. It's nice to have decent actors involved who sell some of the stuff that has to be said. Yes Sir Ben Kingsley, it's you I'm talking about
