I had never heard about this movie prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2023. But I figured I would give it a chance, as it had Tom Berenger on the cast list.
For an action thriller then writers Michael Paré, D. Glase Lomond, Joshua A. Cohen and Javier Reyna managed to put together a fair enough script. I mean, "Black Warrant" was a watchable movie for sure, but it was a fairly generic script and storyline though. Now, I am not saying that it makes the movie bad or anything, not at all, but it just makes for a movie that feels like the majority of every other action thriller out there. So yeah, you're not exactly in for an outstanding movie experience here from director Tibor Takács.
The acting performances in "Black Warrant" are okay, and they do have some good talents on the cast list, with the likes of Tom Berenger, Jeff Fahey and Cam Gigandet.
"Black Warrant" is suitable for a single viewing, but that is also just about all there is to it, because the writers didn't really spice up the formula with anything noteworthy.
The action sequences in "Black Warrant" were so-so. They worked out well enough, but they weren't exactly thrilling or particularly exciting to sit through. Tom Berenger is in his 70s, and it is showing on the screen; not that his acting is bad or anything, but he just doesn't really musters a whole lot of intense action in this movie.
My rating of "Black Warrant" lands on a five out of ten stars.
