Review of Hard Hit

Hard Hit (2021)
4/10
It was alright, the execution of the plot not so much.
14 March 2022
The filming quality and views were amazing, the music was also okay-ish at adding suspense however there was something I really did not like about the plot.

At the very start, MC gets a call from the bomber telling him his car is bombed then gets another call from his colleague (that has his wife on the car) & realizes that he's also received a similar call and their situation is about the same so he drives all the way to him.

The wife however is adamant that the bomb is fictional and just cannot control herself on not getting off, practically has an urge to jump off the car by any possible means knowing there could be a possibility of death to... go to work.

Anyway the wife gets off, effectively blowing : herself, the car & her poor husband (I applauded) the first thing MC does however is driving off at full speed then later realizes his son is hurt so he wants to drive to the ER but ends up in a remote area where the plots begins.

There are two things that are massive plot-hole ignored so the movie could happen that bothered me :

-The first is when he didn't switch the audio from earpiece to the car's after he's already told his kids what is happening.

-The second is he had to flee the crime scene at full speed so he could avoid policemen, firemen & medics after the bombing.

The movie happening in a narrow space limiting the movie set & budget will have to heavily rely on the plot, not to spoil but I watched until the end & I just found it was alright.

The wife blowing off everything to go to work honestly was the highlight for me haha.
