Rent Outlawed (2018)

Die Hard in Nottingham (UK)? - Outlawed review by AER

Sadly this low-budget's ambitions way exceed the filmmakers' grasp in this exceedingly bad action film. New action-hunk Adam Collins (ESSEX HEIST) who also co-directed and co-wrote this clunky actioner fails to distinguish his film in anyway beyond the unusual setting of Nottingham. Turning City Hall into a palace to destroy legions of mercenaries in is vaguely inspired but it's a hell of journey getting through almost 90minutes of nonsensical, badly acted and cliched scenes that just seem to be stitched back-to-back with no rhyme or reason. A whole battle in a scrapyard seems to lead nowhere but it's vague fun to watch. The bad guy (IAN HICHENS) is one of the worst bad guys to have graced a film set in sometime and he only serves to make the rest of the cast look slightly better. Sparks of promise fail to ignite the great film but it will be interesting to see if these guys push themselves with a better script, better actors and some judicious editing before unleashing their next film on an unsuspecting public. One for the most undemanding of viewers who like action curios.

Try Hard.
