BUSHWICK (Video Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.6|5.0 Starsìì

Bushwick has a cool name title and increases its ‘cool’ by using hardcore professional wrestler Dave Bautista to strut its stuff. Unfortunately, despite Bautista’s extraordinary effort to pull off a good movie, the movie shows as shallow and lacking depth. The movie fails at the script level due to its linear storyline and structured destination point that works on the level of a video game like Half Life. While Baustista has the potential to play films within this genre, this movie didn’t allow existing potential to be realized.
