Backflash

About This Movie

Backflash is an intriguing little film that dives into the gritty underbelly of crime and deception. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it builds a tense atmosphere as our lead, fresh out of prison, navigates a world filled with shady deals and double-crosses. The practical effects have a raw quality that adds to the film's grittiness. Performances are solid, if not groundbreaking, but they pull you into the story. It’s the kind of flick that doesn’t shy away from its themes of betrayal and survival, making it a unique entry in the action-crime genre. A watch for those who appreciate the less polished, underground side of early 2000s cinema.
