Review of Semper Fi

Semper Fi (2019)
6/10
Slight but Serviceable B-Movie
22 June 2020
Fairly tight little programmer of the ilk of what you would usually find with Liam Neeson (Cold Pursuit) or Mel Gibson (Blood Father), a bit closer to Dragged Across Concrete & Brawl in Cell Block 99 but without the least bit of intensity. For those older, think late career Audie Murphy. Jai Courtney's lack of emoting serves him well for once, as the antihero, while Finn Wittrock & Arturo Castro do get to play against type. Overall, it's highly underwritten (why, again, is Oyster targeted?) and short on motion...a small scale, simple movie that doesn't quite succeed as a drama or action film, although its brief (99 minutes) running time, easygoing demeanor, and pleasing cast makes it watchable.
