The Best Man (2023)
4/10
great cast from 10 to 20 years ago
3 December 2023
Cal (Luke Wilson), Anders (Dolph Lundgren), and Bradley (Brendan Fehr) are three members of a private security team hired to rescue Brook (Nicky Whelan) from a kidnapping gang in Mexico. While they saved Brook, they lost two members of the team. Some time later, Cal is marrying Brook. Bradley is the best man. Anders had been estranged but shows up anyways. Hailey (Scout Taylor-Compton) is Brook's sister and maid of honor. Their father has rented out a casino resort for the wedding. Suddenly, they are attacked by masked gunmen.

This opens with a lackluster action section. For a B-action thriller, they need to knock that stuff out of the park. This has a great cast if it was 10 to 20 years ago. Still, I'm fascinated to revisit with these actors. They are really the only reasons to watch this. The writing is pretty bad. The characters keep abandoning guns and not check for ammo from the dead assailants. There are moments when I would love to throw stuff at the TV for the stupidity of the characters. It looks like the production found a resort shut down by covid or lack of business. It's a flawed B-action thriller.
