In a film that feels like it skipped theatres, Orlando Bloom heads an ensemble cast as a man who gets pulled into his dark past unwittingly, in order to save those he cares about. Bloom doesn’t get many lead opportunities anymore, but perhaps the most interesting performance in this is from Andie MacDowell, who made her early start playing sweet but smart characters in 90’s romcom’s, and here plays a polar opposite.

This is a film where likely the title is the best thing about it, and most people who watch the film will forget having seen it. If it wasn’t for the talented cast, which also includes the perpetually underrated Garrett Dillahunt, James Lafferty,Scott Hayes, Brian Geraghty, giving you that false sense that this is a diamond in the rough that is in your red right hand.

What I Look for In Audio Description: This is an ensemble cast, so keeping track of everyone can be a pain in the butt. plus, it’s also a crime movie often masquerading as an action film, meaning we are treated to shootouts, which highlight the importance of knowing who is shooting what where. While the modern setting helps in terms of not necessarily requiring a depth of description, there’s still something very basic about understanding this rural world these characters come from. In what often becomes games of cat and mouse, keeping track of who has the upper hand in any conflict also helps the audience understand the direction of the film.

What It Does: It doesn’t. Hulu isn’t providing audio description for this film, which made it incredibly hard to follow a track full of men speaking. Half the reason I was so drawn to Andie MacDowell, is that her feminine presence just made it easier to tie her performance to something. Gunfire is heard, but it seems impossible to track who is shooting at who, and who is missing from the cast perhaps as a result of the gunfire. Also, I got none of the setting, and I knew nothing about what any character looked like. The actors I listed, I’ve all seen before I lost my sight, but trying to imagine them all in a film I was struggling to follow was a pain. This isn’t a Hulu original, so the question is, why doesn’t the production company behind this film care enough about its product to make it accessible for audiences?

Final Thoughts: Not much. I do this sometimes to remind people of how difficult it is to follow a film without audio description more times than not. When a streaming service doesn’t offer audio description, or a film distributor, I always take that to mean that you believe your film is bulletproof in terms of accessibility. Like, the thing you have created is so obvious that we should be able to follow it. That gamble doesn’t pay off here. This is a mess, and a film that is supposed to be a story of right and wrong left me wondering simply who was on what side, and where that line even was drawn.

Final Grade: Unwatchable
