REVIEW:

What It's Like, a song by Everlast emanated through the radio. A gun rested beside my lap. My eyes saw my destination approaching fast, but I was far from driving off into the sunset. One last ride awaited me still, and I would not go so gently into that good night. Instead, I would welcome death in a hail of gunfire.

If a man knocked on your door and told you that he could change your life, erase your mistakes, and that he could give you something to leave behind, something that would ensure a better life for those you love, would you let him in? If he knew the skeletons that you kept hidden in the closet, would you still listen to the offer being laid at your feet? If he promised to not disclose the details of your life and swore you to secrecy, would you blindly follow his orders, no questions asked? Would you do all this for the reward, but what if a favor was to be asked in return? And what if this favor were to have a heavy, maybe even fatal price? Would you still accept this once in the lifetime opportunity, and if you did, would you ever be able to turn back?

The night started to go down as planned. All players were ready to begin, but different views clashed with others. And not everyone would work willingly together, but time was of the essence. And the envelopes would hold their fate in its hand, so let the games begin. And in the end, the last man would stand.

He chose his players wisely, and they marched to his tune. But the tables would soon spin around and derail the night, and all bets would be off. And if they could not set differences aside would they be lost, and that promised golden opportunity would be no more. But as secrets begin to surface, truth ties the knot that binds, and survival rests in the hands of strangers, who are strangers no more. But their fate has already been decided, but would they surrender to death or go down with guns blazing?

They had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Families left behind could go on living without them, without worry of money. Their lives would hold some kind of meaning, purpose, but life, choices had taken them all here. And in the face of death does humanity shine, and they struggle to live. And as the last man stands, he cannot side with death, silencing one more life, and instead does he spin the tables around on the one pulling all the strings. But will an angel come and save him?

The Immortals ignite into a hailstorm of emotion as the final act is set for eight strangers brought together. High speed chases, a fury of bullets, and the pendulum of life and death raises the notch of suspense and action. Heart and soul echo deep as bullets fly, and the beauty of life, the conflict of death leaves a strong impression behind.

The Immortals is a true masterpiece of suspense and drama. With a powerful cast do eight strangers plus Jack come to life, and through their struggle to survive their fate do they hold our heart in their hands. And the storyline is a sweet symphony that wastes no time sweeping us off our feet and stealing our breath away, and as the story spirals to its climax does it hold us spellbound, captivated by the bonds that form and the fight for life over death. And in the end does humanity give light to this intense movie, and do we remember a powerful rollercoaster ride that pulls us down into characters to be unforgotten.
