Cult Killer (2024). I saw this movie while perusing a movie list and thought it might be worth watching since it had Antonio Banderas in it. In my opinion, he's never really been in a horrible movie. For me, all the ones I've seen with him as a "major" character have been watchable and I didn't really regret the time used for watching. It also has Alice Eve as a lead character. That's probably about all who would be easily recognizable.
The concept of the movie is pretty similar to other films in this type of genre. This wasn't a fast-paced movie but it also didn't drag. There was no real over-the-top action or scenes in general.
There was a section near the end of the movie that was out of character or out of the M.O. for the 'antagonist' (IMO) which helped lead to some drama for the ending. I could see this coming a mile away and it literally made me call bullshit. Again, unnecessary in my opinion but maybe the writer/director was like, "Oh shit, the movie's getting long so I need to an ending" clip, clop, stomp "Here it is." So anyway...
FINAL VERDICT: Unless you catch this for "free" on streaming, you can probably pass on this movie. It wasn't horrible but it also didn't make me want to tell people they need to give it a watch.
