Hot Garbage

We used to call movies like this straight to video. Lots of cliches, low to mid production values, forced acting. Oh, and terrible writing. Like, straight out of some kind of AI script writing program that a human went over to try to make it seem real. Something to watch when there's nothing else to do and you want to have a laugh at something that wasn't intended to be funny. But, its got Katherine McNamara in it and she's always fun to watch. Jon Voights in it because he let everyone know he's a republican and an actors gotta eat right? The bad guy is so over the top that you really feel how bad this movie is when he starts smirking and mugging for the camera. The hero is bland and I can't seem to even remember what he looks like when he goes off screen. He'll come back on in the next scene and I'm like, 'Oh right, that's what he looks like.' Just not a worthwhile movie to watch, but I'm sure it will do great at filling up air time in our non-stop entertainment universe that we find ourselves living in now.

Poor

This is the type of movie you watch when you are bored and don't care if a film is well done or half-baked. High Ground is made with all the quality of a Hallmark or Lifetime movie which means it doesn't even seem like a real movie. I don't know which is worse, the acting or the plot. While Jon Voight is a good actor and he's OK in this, it's a shame that the star of classics like Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance has fallen to this. The actors who play the bad guys in this are actually better than the ones playing the good guys. The script is terrible and actions happen for seemingly no reason. Overall the plot doesn't make sense and there isn't a shred of anything realistic here. Many years ago good guys vs bad guy films were made as Film Noir B level movies that have since become classics. A movie like this is a one time watch because it's slightly entertaining in how poorly is is done and then it's completely forgotten.
