Bland and generic action thriller...

I was not familiar with this 2025 action thriller from director Fansu Njie prior to sitting down to watch it. So all I knew about it was the little information revealed by the synopsis.Writers Craig Walser and Sergey Zhelezko put together a straight forward script and storyline, though it suffered from being predictable and sort of generic.There were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Peter Stormare, Eric Roberts and Beau Fowler. The acting performances in the movie were for the most parts fair, though I personally don't think that leading actor Daniel Stisen was particularly well-cast for the movie. It was a bit of a struggle to sit through his mumbled whispery delivery of his dialogue. Eric Roberts, well he was just being Eric Roberts. And while Peter Stormare usually puts on great and memorable performances in the movies he is in, he seemed to be tired and running on auto-pilot here.Something that did speak in favor of the movie was the action sequences, as they were actually nicely choreographed.There are far better action thrillers out there, and "Stand Your Ground" is not a movie that warrants more than a single viewing. Nor is it really a movie that I would recommend you to spend 99 minutes on watching.My rating of director Fansu Njie's 2025 movie "Stand Your Ground" lands on a rather generous four out of ten stars.

Renegade independent cinema

I went into Stand Your Ground expecting a by-the-numbers revenge flick. What I got?? Home Alone meets John Wick, directed by Sergio Leone if he'd swapped cigars for protein powder. The pacing starts slow, dripping with tension and then all hell breaks loose. Traps, gunfights, chaos. But the real MVP? Peter Stormare as the villain. You want menace? You want charisma? You want the guy from Fargo who fed someone into a woodchipper? He's here, and he's loving every second of it. Pure evil, pure class. This is an independent movie that is stylish, and savage fun with a smirk. 8 stars!!! Outstanding Experience.
