Show more >> Class of '83 is a film that tries hard to deliver a punch, and while it hits some marks, it also misses a few. The story of a disillusioned cop turned mentor to a group of assassins is compelling, but I found the execution a bit uneven. The lead performance is strong, bringing a gritty realism to the role, but some supporting characters felt underdeveloped. The film does have its thrilling moments, with action scenes that are both intense and engaging, yet there are times when the pacing drags, making it feel longer than necessary. It’s not a bad watch, especially for fans of the genre, but it doesn’t quite rise to the level of greatness. If you're in the mood for a crime drama with a twist, give it a go, but temper your expectations. Show less
