Tin Soldier
The brief
Brad Furman's *Tin Soldier* feels like a direct-to-VOD actioner that somehow convinced three generations of movie stars to show up for the paycheck. Scott Eastwood broods his way through familiar revenge beats while Jamie Foxx and Robert De Niro seem to be phoning it in from different movies entirely. The cult infiltration premise has potential, but the execution lands with all the impact of a rubber bullet - lots of noise, minimal damage. Those dismal 8% critic scores aren't lying; this plays like a script that's been sitting in someone's drawer since the mid-2000s. For completists of any of these actors or people who genuinely enjoy bargain bin action fodder.
The verdict
If you have a high tolerance for bargain bin action and genuine affection for watching Scott Eastwood, Jamie Foxx, and Robert De Niro sleepwalk through a generic revenge thriller, this is mindless entertainment. If you expect coherent storytelling or committed performances from your action movies, those dismal 8% critic scores tell you everything you need to know about this direct-to-VOD misfire.
