Alarum | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Whaddya know, another spies off the grid drawn back into action tale. Not sure even the appearance of California ambassador to international box office will wake us up from realizing it comes from one-time indie darling, Michael Polish.

There's a good action movie in this, but it never emerges because everything is so convoluted.

Alarum may have a solid premise and cast, but the fun stops with this subpar action thriller that fails to tap into the talent's potential.

I’d have been happy enough with a movie in which Scott Eastwood, son of Clint, and Sylvester Stallone, presumably bored, team up to shoot legions of identikit henchmen for basically no reason at all. It’s the reason that becomes the problem.

Michael Polish’s film gamely tries to compensate for unspectacular production values with a lot of action -- but its staging is pedestrian at best.
