    At the center of this mess sits a set of performances that are, beyond some writing oddities, pretty good.

    Ultimately, Skillhouse boils down to a bunch of stuff that just happens to characters we don't care about, who make choices that don't make sense for reasons that aren't well grounded, in a place that's poorly shot, in order to say things that have been better said elsewhere.

    It's an oddly cobbled-together hodgepodge of ideas and little real inspiration that could have graduated to fun schlock with a little more love.

    It's a film that largely rests on an edifice of clichés, contrivances, and ungrounded choices, needing greater development to actually land.

    Alarum is a genuine disappointment, putting a set of strong performers (who do quite well in action-heavy projects) in a situation that could produce memorable, excellent action scenes. It needs extra shine in the script and a stronger directorial vision to do so, which essentially damns the film to action thriller purgatory.
