A film so supernaturally boring that light bends when passing its dense outer mantle.

The whole dreary thing looks as if it was put through an Instagram filter called Rotgut that makes everything look like it was soaked in weak coffee and bile.

Matthew Modine is outstanding as an amnesia-stricken bank robber in Brian A. Miller's VOD-centric thriller.

Backtrace is a bare-bones action movie. It follows the beat-by-beat expectations of movies in the genre, squandering the intriguing potential of a plot about an experimental drug.

After the first act, Backtrace turns into a needlessly complicated story where the characters are like carton. [Full Review in Spanish]

It is no exaggeration to say that Backtrace was the cinematic equivalent of a headache. It's too ridiculous and underwritten to be a full-fledged crime thriller and too self-serious to be an enjoyable B-movie.

Hard to bear watching. Stallone was signed for name recognition but probably not paid much because he doesn’t get much screen time. Poorly scripted half psychological thriller half shoot em up. The gunplay is comical, way too many rounds for the weapons and just wholly unbelievable and unrealistic, with a cheesy and predictable and also unrealistic ending. I was cleaning a fish tank during it or would have stopped watching. Find something else.
Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

An exceptionally bad film in EVERY aspect. If you value your time and happiness at all please avoid this headache and anger inducing fecal matter on celluloid.

The best and most reliable crypto recovery expert service for me ever goes to CYBER GENIE HACK PRO! Wow; these guys are so good at their job and their customer service relationship is so friendly and reliable. I made a huge error with a transaction at work, sending $68,000 worth of BTC to the wrong wallet address. Tension arose and I was literally shaking even while I searched online for a possible solution. I contacted the customer support of the wallet address provider but they said they couldn't help. I was about to pay my company money I never spent till I read something about CYBER GENIE HACK PRO Recovery services and I immediately contacted them. Because the money hadn't been withdrawn and contacted on time, they were able to retrace the transaction, and the money was credited back to the company's wallet swiftly. How would I have explained to the company I am innocent, CYBER GENIE saved my life.

Ok it started out OK, but after watching each shooting scene with hundreds of shots fired, you would think at least hit something. These characters qualify as storm troopers. The script was to easy to follow. Stallone was not the main character of the movie. The shooting scenes became comical

Fairly good story, but kind of clunky as we don't really get to know the characters or care much about them including Stallone.

Synopsis
After suffering a brain injury from a bank heist gone wrong, MacDonald develops amnesia and is put into a prison psychiatric ward. Following his seventh year of incarceration, he is coerced by an inmate and a ward doctor to break out of prison, and he's injected with a serum that forces him to relive the life he's forgotten. MacDonald must now elude a local detective, a toughened FBI agent, and the drug's dangerous side effects to recover the stolen money.
