Corbin Nash (2018)

Strong and Moving!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Couldn't even complete the movie, terrible acting, the plot is all over the place, and I have never seen a more uncharismatic protagonist ever. I could've given it 10 stars if I could do it in negative

I do wonder when I see all these 1- and 10-star reviews alongside each other, defeats the purpose of IMDb's sliding scale. Surely a film has to be spectacularly bad or good to earn that sort of rating, and 'Corbin Nash' was neither of those for me.I can understand some of the flack it gets. A 'bit-part' film that doesn't really know what it is ... apocalyptic, torture-revenge, fantasy, vampire-slaying, (although as someone already pointed out, they've rather tagged this on the end), even Christian imagery ... the mish-mash of candy-noir doesn't really work for me either. Some of the reviews put it down to the acting (blind prophet Malcolm McDowell trying to sound profound is stretching it ...), more likely to be the writing. Anyways, don't over-think Corbin Nash, arch-villains Corey Feldman and Richard Wagner make the film more than bearable, although I'm sure if it were Batman the whole thing would play out better. Strange, too, that 'heavy-hitters' McDowell and Rutger Hauer obviously saw something in the film, more than the 1 out of 10 some reviewers believe it merits.So, you're not going to get these 100 minutes back, but Corbin Nash is a passable one-time viewing. Lie back and enjoy all the gore and filth ...

90 min movie about a vampire hunter and exactly 10 minutes (of the LAST 15 min) of actual vampire slaying? The the first 90% of the movie is the origin/back story which is semi-interesting but not all that eventful. This movie should have been compacted into a 15-20 min backstory with a real movie tacked on after that. As it is, this whole movie is really just the intro for potential sequels. If they do make one or more sequels they better step it up. WAY up. I will say Feldman's character was absolutely disgusting. If that is what he was going for (and I think it was) then he nailed it. All in all it wasn't the worst movie ever, but it was way too much backstory and not enough real story to be considered "good".

Rebecca: "This party is so bad it's almost good." Enid: "It's so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again."This was never even remotely close to good and if there's ever a chance of it being a Cult classic, it will be the opinion of a very small group of misguided individuals, with a loose grasp of what it actually takes to be honoured with that title. The plot was painfully slow, with very little background or direction. The main character was as dull as dishwater and Corey Feldman's performance was so desperate, it was extremely embarrassing to witness. Half-baked Buffalo Bill, combined with a $2 drag queen and just a pinch of wannabe delusional is not exactly award-winning, but I respect the fact that nobody wants to win awards, here. That's admirable at least. What happened to that guy? The 80's are long gone, as are his chances of ever being a decent actor again. McDowel and Hauer must have been compensated heavily for this and it's bewildering as to how they were lured into this. I watched Butcher's Block with Hauer recently and loved it. You can't win them all, I guess. If you like poorly written, cringeworthy, badly acted moves, with no direction, that bares a very poor resemblance to films you may have seen in the past, then go for it. I have forgiven some awful movies in my time and defended some serious turkeys, but this, my friend is not worth the bother. Do your taxes, cut your toenails, go and see that relative you hate - anything but this to pass the time. I challenge you to get to the 40 minute mark without falling asleep or turning to the person you're watching it with and not contort your face. If you do, take a shot each time one of you does and you'll be sorted (at least numb) until the end. Let's get something positive out of this. and to those who gave this trash 10 stars, I hope you did something nice with the cash. Your acting ability far ought-weighs anything seen here.
