What Others Said
kevin2019:
"Shakedown" is much too unremarkable for its own good and obviously somebody somewhere must have realised this so in order to effectively remedy such an unwanted situation somebody somewhere has deemed it appropriate that the film ought to be modelled more upon the box office hit "Lethal Weapon" (1987). So this means we are frequently subjected to an assortment of deliberately eye catching action sequences and stunts. No problem there, you might think. After all, the sequences in question have been incredibly well executed and they do successfully enliven what is a generally unmemorable motion picture experience. However, they are also outrageously laughable and they unquestionably sabotage the more realistic qualities being striven for elsewhere. The film also isn't helped by the fact Peter Weller's and Sam Elliott's characters Roland Dalton and Richie Marks are so completely mismatched they actually look as though they belong in separate films and by bringing them together here leaves us with an unholy mess on our hands.
