quincytheodore Movies use ironic titles like The Expendables or The Losers to a varying degree of success, The Throwaways however, is a tragic commentary of how bad it is. Every aspect lacks any tact or poise, it's a near parody of itself and it would've probably worked better that way. However, it still has jarring shift of tone and excessive hacking mumbo jumbo delivered by sloppy acting from just about everyone involved.This is an example of how espionage thriller can go wrong. The story is fixed and rigid, a hacker creates a team of misfits to intercept some plan of some device. It's all hazy and produced in such underwhelming fashion that none of the urgency is believable. These guys might just be some random people from street who accidentally stumble with one another. Safe to say, there's no chemistry to speak of.Acting is terribly poor, everyone has one expression which they do repeatedly. The main character seems distraught and his trademark sigh becomes repelling after thirty minutes. Plenty of hacking slangs are mentioned although audience who wants to see a realistic approach on technology will be disappointed when seeing the crude interface from the 80s beeps erratically as the on screen characters pretend to hit buttons and know what they are doing.It also tries to set up any human drama, which seems more like a blooper if one is being kind. The visual utilizes shaky cams for nearly the entirety of the time, colors are drab and uninspiring as well. Furthermore, some scenes are looking as though they are haphazardly slapped together from other cheap movies, only done in inferior manner. It's an exhausting undertaking to keep watching this debacle.If anything good comes from this, it's probably puns of its title. Just throw it away.

niutta-enrico Let's be clear: this is an ugly film. Many things (too many to list them) are under the common standard so I don't expect you to like it. I personally enjoyed it, however: it's ironic (so ironic that I wondered if it were made ugly on purpose). It's full of great artists, starting from James Caan and ending with Jeremy Renner (movie's executive producer). It has a good plot (it could have been a very nice graphic novel), dumb enough to not be taken too seriously…But above all it transmits a special kind of fun, as if the cast (which was made of very well known actors such as Noel Clarke, Sam Huntington, Katie McGrath or Matt Dillon's brother, Kevin) had a really good time playing bad and good guys in one of the cheapest locations you could imagine, in Sofia, Bulgaria.

ronbrushbender-755-977273 This is my first experience of viewing a made for online movie and was skeptical until reading the reviews. It is many notches above the made for TV assembly line trash so prevalent today. Yes, it is an oft used plot and has the time worn action scenes but it works. The storyline is for the most part fast paced. The characters are fairly well developed and the actors are well cast. Sam Worthington and James Caan are excellent. The bottom tier agents, the "throwaways," are a little over the top but still enjoyable to watch. Katie McGrath is wonderful and lovely to look at. I am really surprised that mainstream Hollywood is so late in noticing her.The only thing that really bothered me was when Dan and Dmitri kept referring to an RPG as a bazooka. (Hey, I had to find some fault with this movie)! Forget the low budget and just immerse yourself into an entertaining bit of film making. Would I watch it again? You bet! Would I recommend it to a friend? I already have!

Filmstv Andlife I really enjoyed this slapstick comedy. It is the mother of B grade action films and really makes fun of what has become of the Hollywood Action genre.The jokes are corny and satirize everything from the now obligatory hot chick fight and female assassin to the ridiculous Hollywood "foreigner" talks funny and is charming trope. The plot developments such as literally hot wiring a gas station to oh no the thumb drive has been dropped and is now unusable are absolutely hilarious. A healthy dose of the American, "lets blow sh?t up routine" is thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this picture and whilst it wasn't A grade cinema it was terribly good at a B grade takedown of Hollywood Action stereotypes.Oh and to Marcus_Rehnberg I am certainly not on any *payroll* eithercheck out other reviews and things that may interest you on my *unpaid* site filmstvandlife.wordpress.com C U There!!!!!!
