Introduction to Final Score Netflix Movie Review

 

Final Score is a 2018  action packed movie. I categorize the Final Score Netflix movie as a high energy type action movie that will probably keep your interest if you like these type films.

 

However, sometimes “less is more”, as the saying goes. Was there too much action in the Final Score Netflix movie or was a happy medium struck between action and drama? Did I enjoy watching the Final Score Netflix movie? Would you? 

 

Check out my movie review of the Final Score Netflix movie to find out.

 

Synopsis of Final Score Netflix Movie

 

The Final Score Netflix movie starts with the scenario of a rebellious teenager who is prone to disobey her parent. Enter Dave Bautista as Michael Knox. He is not the teenager’s father, but is a close friend of her father who was his army comrade who unfortunately did not survive war when they were in the Army.

 

Dave Bautista as Michael Knox visits his friend's widow in England. Specifically, he plans to take his deceased friend’s teenage daughter to a soccer/football game.

 

As it turns out, Lara Peake as the teenager Dani was grounded by her mother because of her disobedient behavior.  However, after some coaxing, her mother decided to let her go with Dave Bautista’s character to the soccer/football game, especially since their outing was tied to her deceased husband's wishes.

 

Once at the crowded soccer/football stadium, everything seemed normal at first until Lara Peake’s character sneaks off to meet a boy when Dave Bautista’s character left his seat to get them hotdogs. 

 

Dave Bautista’s character was upset and concerned about her whereabouts when he could not find Lara Peake’s character. He consults Amit Shah as Faisal Khan who is an usher at the game regarding the missing teenager.

 

In the meantime, a sinister group of people have taken over the control room of the soccer/football stadium and are using computer software to try to find a revolutionary in the crowd who they knew was at the game. By the way, the revolutionary is played by Pierce Brosnan as Dimitri Belav.

 

The group initially turned off all the lights at the stadium and the stadium crowd probably breathed a sigh of relief when the lights came back on. Unbeknownst to them, they were in dire danger since the group planned to bomb the stadium, so, unfortunately, their relief would be short-lived.

 

Dave Bautista’s character calls the police and is working with them to try to stop the bombing from occurring. The police were basically ineffective in their tactics and it looks like it is up to Dave Bautista’s character to try to stop the stadium bombing.

 

 

Stand Out Actor in Final Score Netflix Movie

 

Even though Dave Bautista as Michael Knox is the star of the Final Score movie, he did not stand out to me during the film. That being said, I’m sure the impressive action scenes were done by stuntmen or stunt doubles instead of Dave Bautista’s character.

 

In my opinion, the stand out actor was the female character with braids, Alexandra Dinu as Tatiana who was part of the criminal element of the sinister group. She was effective in showing that she was someone who you may want to think twice about before crossing her path. This was evident even though she was smaller in stature when compared with the rest of the bad guys.

 

She stood out to me not because of her acting skills per se, but because of how she portrayed her character’s demeanor, especially after her boyfriend was destroyed.

 

Action Scenes and Stunts in Final Score Netflix Movie

 

To me, it was an interesting idea for the Final  Score movie to show segments of the soccer/football game in parallel with the action that was going on in the Final Score film. At one time, there was almost like a side to side comparison of action taking place in the game with Dave Bautista's character's action scenes.

 

As the chase continued between the enemy and Dave Bautista’s character, sometimes with Amit Shah’s character and the teenager (yes she was later found), the action intensified to the point where a motorcycle and an extra long soccer//football banner were involved. 

 

I think the motorcycle action scene was almost comparable to one of the Fast and Furious movies where a driver of an exotic sports car jumped from one tall skyscraper to the next, and of course, everything stayed intact. You will know the Final Score scene I’m referring to if you watch this Netflix movie.

 

A Negative in the Final Score Netflix Movie

 

A negative for me was Pierce Brosnan's role as the revolutionary. He seemed to merely be pushed along in each scene and did not seem to be involved with portraying his character as a prior revolutionary leader. I think the scene where Dave Bautista’s character catches Pierce Brosnan’s character and carries him around with him as he fled the enemies could have been improved.

 

For instance, a more plausible scene would be to show Pierce Brosnan’s character captured and taken hostage in one place, maybe the restroom. Instead Dave Bautita’s character was literally dragging Pierce Brosnan’s character along with him as he fled from the enemies.

 

Assessment of the Final Score Netflix Movie

 

Overall, I found the Final Score Netflix movie to be entertaining.There was just enough action and drama during the film to keep my interest.

 

 As I alluded to previously, there are lots of action scenes in the movie, and the film will seem to move fast. In other words, the Final Score movie did not seem to lag on.

 

If you are a fan of  high action movies, I recommend that you watch the Final Score Netflix movie. In fact, you may enjoy this movie just as much as I did.

 

Rating of the Final Score Netflix Movie

 

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate the Final Score Netflix movie 4 stars.
