I might normally feel sorry for Gina Carano’s new film being a spectacular box office failure, but she’s a kind of atrocious person so I can only join in the chorus of laughter.
As a result of Carano’s return film’s $804 domestic gross, the actress received backlash on social media for her theatrical performance, with one user claiming that she “didn’t bring much to the role.” The user took to Twitter and shared his review of the film and wrote, “The movie wasn’t terrible, but it was very simple, and honestly Gina Carano didn’t bring much to the role. One time watch.” Another user wrote, “Sorry sad how she pissed away such potential to make boring schlock.” Another user quipped, “Gina caranos first big release post Mando exit.” One user said, “67 People paid to see the movie.” One user shared a meme and wrote, “”Go Woke Go Broke”
Bit curious as to why this is only getting attention now, cos the film came out about six months ago. Mind you, this is the first time I’m hearing about the film having been released; maybe if they’d advertised their film a bit more than they apparently did, more people might have watched it… or maybe not.
But the thing that took me by surprise was that this thing was directed by Michael Polish, whose career I haven’t exactly followed but I recalled him having received some acclaim for Twin Falls Idaho back at the end of the 90s, and I assumed he’d kind of maintained a respectable career… though looking at his Wiki entry, I may have been wrong about that; indeed he’s already got a Christian film to his, er, credit, and thus far he seems to have avoided falling back into that particular gutter. But, by the same token, making a film for Ben Shapiro’s company doesn’t strike me as a positive career move either…
Anyway, when all else fails, as I suspect it will, Gina’s probably got a place awaiting her in the Christian film industry as well, and that’ll keep her going for a good long time. I expect her to make her first appearance on God Awful Movies within two years; indeed, given that they’ve already covered one other not particularly goddy movie distributed by Daily Wire (though they rather unfairly blame Shapiro for the content of same), I have a feeling they may even cover this one at some point…
