Jimmy (Matthew Lawrence) recently loses his brother and promises to scatter his ashes in the ocean. His plans, however, are derailed when a normal convenience store pit-stop becomes a mob attack on cashier Natasha (Danielle C. Ryan). As Jimmy tries to flee, he discovers Natasha hiding in the back seat, and learns that she isn't some random cashier, but a woman on the run from the mob with a split personality: Nat and Tasha. After some convincing, Nat and Tasha tag along with Jimmy on a road trip across the country, hoping to escape on a boat to Hawaii. But when the son of the crime boss, Ellis (Kevin Joy), joins forces with right-hand mobster Ask (Dawn Olivieri), an explosive and violent cross-country chase pursues.

Bradley Gibson Film Threat 07/26/2022
7/10
Double Threat has enough of a budget to look polished but not so much as to create distractions from the fight scenes and the suspense, which are quite good. Go to Full Review

C
Cast is stuck with the mushy tonality of the endeavor, which spends part of the run time cracking skulls, and the rest dealing with tiresome characters and banal personal problems. Go to Full Review

4/5
This one is a fun one folks! Double Threat is a film that knows what it wants and how to get there. It allows fight scenes to actually be visible and gives star Danielle C. Ryan the room to show her skills and be a badass. Go to Full Review

Victor O @RT45890256 05/29/2023 Danielle C. Ryan is my favorite actress and I jump at every opportunity to see her next movie. Not the most famous actress, but still lovely and talented and I heard a lot of buzz concerning this movie. In the end, I was overjoyed by its popularity. Jimmy Randolph is just an ordinary guy shopping for snacks on a road trip when he meets a pretty stocker at a store. But his world is turned around when someone attempts to kill this pretty girl. He does the right thing and avoids the trouble only to know this pretty girl is capable of fighting back. Simply trying to avoid trouble she takes him hostage only to discover this isn't just someone with hidden talents but hidden personalities. Natasha is split between the meek and normal Nat and the feisty and adventurous Tasha. When things seem calm, she is Nat but when she gets scared Tasha is unleashed. Jimmy hopes to provide as much help as to get away but at the same time, he is drawn to Natasha all the while a mobster's son and enforcer hunt down Natasha in an exciting adventure. I love Danielle C. Ryan, and it's been a while since I've seen Matthew Lawrence, who also does some decent work. This was a real jewel, and I can see why this is popular on streaming sites. Glad everyone else loves this movie. See more Julio R @RT73445932 01/26/2023 It was really a fun ride! Danielle C, Ryan was great, very versatile. See more 10/10/2022 I wanted to hate it. The characters though were well done and a story carried through. The production value was low, but stunts were ok. See more aaron g @GeigOmatic 06/30/2022 One of those, accidentally watched. Mediocre acting throughout. See more harris r @Harrisons_reviews 06/21/2022 Utterly cringeworthy and unwatchable nonsense. Why was this even made? This was such and infantile production, was it made for a twelve year old audience? I gave it one hour and then just couldn't take it anymore. The story was so cliched and predictable, and then add that there were more cringe moments than anything close to a worthy comical laugh. It was lazily written, mushy, corny and simply a waste of film tape. Nothing really happens except for the same cat and mouse game, with a split personality being the so-called tough act, then the forgettable whiney drama queen, and that got boring real fast. Within the first 5 minutes, Danielle C. Ryan's character gets annoying and it just keeps getting worse, and you'll start noticing this entire film is laughable, then it becomes cringe with all the monotony. For that matter, every character and performance was cheesy and annoying. I can't understand how anyone would have the patience to sit through this entire sloth. Even at a mere 92 min runtime, a lot of nothing happens. At 30 mins in, it felt like I've been watching paint dry for at least one hour. Don't waste your time on this cringe, anything is a better watch and more entertaining. It's a very generous 3/10 from me, all going to some decent directing and cinematography - that's it. See more 06/19/2022 Movie Review: Double Threat IN A NUTSHELL: With ruthless mobsters on her tail, a young woman with a split personality becomes entangled with a man on a pilgrimage across the country to scatter his brother's ashes. The film is directed by Shane Stanley and written by CJ Walley. If you want to see an award-winning action movie, you might be disappointed. If you're up for a slapsticky flick with action, humor, and romance, you might get a kick out of this. THINGS I LIKED: Danielle C. Ryan does a great job with impressive action stunts, as well as physically transforming her demeanor to show two different personalities. Matthew Lawrence has been in the business for a long time, getting his start with his brothers in a popular TV show called "Brotherly Love". He and Danielle C. Ryan previously starred together in Mistletoe Mixup. The action sequences have a lot of silly choreography, but also some pretty cool moves. They're not very realistic, but always amusing. I'm getting tired of female vixen villains that never smudge their makeup, but Dawn Olivieri's character "Ask" made me laugh quite a few times. I appreciate the lack of F-bombs. The title is kind of cute, given that the female protagonist has a split personality. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: The villains are pretty lame, although entertaining at times. The storylines don't wrap up with a bow. Instead, there's a cliffhanger that alludes to a sequel. The plot is pretty ridiculous, so just don't expect much. Some of the scene transitions jump abruptly. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Lots of sexual innuendoes People are murdered. We see blood. We see a topless man and a woman in her bra. They both have impressive abs, by the way. Some profanity. An unmarried couple goes at it with shirts off on a pool table. We see skin, kissing, and moving hands. THEMES: Playing it safe vs. going wild for fun Doing the right thing Different sides to our personalities, identity Wanting approval and respect from others You can see the full review on my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel.
