The Doorman (2020)

Where Die Hard was funny, The Doorman is cringeworthy. Where Die Hard was visceral, The Doorman is pathetic. Where Die Hard has action, The Doorman has quick viewpoint change scenes to hide how ridiculous they are. Where Die Hard had an intelligent, pompous and scary villain, The Doorman has a stupid old Frenchman. Die Hard had a budget, The Doorman had an unused building. The acting is terrible, the plot is ridiculous, the characters are cardboard and still they couldn't get them right. How can anyone fail this much?

For crying out loud, there are five Die Hard movies there and the one you are trying to copy from was made in '88. You had 32 years to do it right! Ruby Rose was two years old when that movie came out! What more do you need?!

Bottom line: If at least they would have gender swapped it and copied the rest this would have been a good movie. No, they had to completely mess it up. Avoid this boring unsuccessful attempt at a movie.

Fmovies: The movie starts decent enough and seemed to be interesting at first. As it goes on though, it starts to fall apart.

A lot of totally constructed scenes, stupid decisions of protagonists that usually only happen in horror movies, plus some really bad acting let the whole thing down. Jean Reno does a good enough job, but with a little care and much better writing it all could have been much more enjoyable.

Think "Die Hard", but badly made.

What is up with Hollywood and The use of this terrible actor. She has 1 emotion. Thats it. Could Be a decent action movie. But that lead star - Damm she is so so overrated.

The Doorman fmovies. The Doorman (2020) is fairly typical of low-budget direct-to-video made-in-Eastern-Europe fare. Production values are better than average for similar films. The actors do as well as can be expected with the material they're provided. But the screenplay is uninspired, with far too many coincidences, contrivances, and familiar tropes. The movie seems very similar to Force of Nature (2020), starring Mel Gibson, which also suffered from far too many coincidences.

Ruby Rose handles her fight scenes fairly well, but could have been replaced by a department store mannequin in some of the other scenes. Jean Reno delivers an effortless performance as the villain, which is nevertheless interesting to watch. Aksel Hennie, Rupert Evans, and Philip Whitchurch deliver credible performances. Some scenes drag; many are predictable. It's what might be termed a multi-tasking video, one that can be watched while doing something else without missing much.

No. Just don't. Heroine is awful, flat. Characters are unlikeable, including her. Completely predictable plot. Don't waste your time. Watch anything else by Jean. Cold Blood is a good option.

So sad to see great actors doing such a terrible job in a terrible movie. Jean Reno does not do a lot of bad movies so this was really dissapointing. sure hope he does not end up like Bruce Willis. It is very clear that neither the actors or writers have ever used a drill that needs water to cool. Here a big part of the story is to get water for the drill. But the drill does not use water or have a connection for water.. Its a standard magnetic drill where you can cool down the drillbit with a can of sprayable oil... This was really boring and i regret spending time on it
