“Well, this 2020 crime thriller from writer and director Christian Sesma was a pretty straight forward movie experience. Maybe to the point where it became overly generic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline was adequate, although it didnu0026#39;t really offer anything new or overly innovative to the genre. In fact, there was nothing much here in u0026quot;Paydirtu0026quot; that havenu0026#39;t been seen in previous similar movies. That sort of kept the movie back a bit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters in the movie were adequate, but it just felt a bit underplayed. I feel that most characters could have been much more interesting if they were given more in-depth personalities and stories.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey did, however, have an adequate assembly of casted actors and actresses. Normally, I am not much of a fan of Luke Goss, but he actually carried u0026quot;Paydirtu0026quot; quite well. And I was expecting Val Kilmer to have more of a bigger role, as he was listed on the front cover/poster of the movie. And truth be told, the movieu0026#39;s cover/poster was actually interesting, and it was the reason why I ended up sitting down to watch it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere was an okay amount of action in the movie, which definitely helped to make the movie watchable and keep the otherwise generic and mundane storyline afloat.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, this is just another run-of-the-mill crime thriller. So if you enjoy that genre, then chances are that you will find enjoyment in u0026quot;Paydirtu0026quot;. I found the movie to be mediocre entertainment actually. As such, my rating of the movie lands on a five out of ten stars.”
