Cinemalogue

Todd Jorgenson

... a clichd noir wannabe script that manages only some meager laughs amid the generic shootouts and chase sequences.

This labored, failed thriller feels like a collection of odd puzzle pieces that don't fit but have been nonetheless forced together. Even the great cast members seem squeezed into the wrong roles.

This is the kind of material that can't be elevated without help from behind the camera. Instead, the actors are left to gesture aimlessly through a stupefacient fog of clichs and insipid direction.

A mess, and a seemingly needless one, watching a larger tale of survival pointlessly whittled down to fragments of reason to make the feature play as fast as possible.

"Term Life" is cleanly plotted and tautly paced, but it's never as fun as it should be.
