Burn notice characters12/28/2023 Bruce Campbell fans will get a kick out of it and it is certainly an "easy" watch but nothing more than that. Overall The Fall of Sam Axe is a distracting bit of filler to those fans of Burn Notice, even though it never gets to the same level of entertainment or fun as the actual show does. The direction is surprisingly "straight" though the TV show has lots of music and quick cuts and sliding transitions but here the presentation is a lot more drab by comparison – a bit of "oomph" in this regard would have helped the film feel slicker and more fun as works for the show. The effects are solid enough and the A-Team-esque action is decent and bloodless enough to distract. But first he has to use his tactical training to raise enough money. The supporting cast are never more than average though and it does hurt the overall film. When spy Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) is inexplicably fired, he decides to find out why. The in-jokes for his fans are a nice touch if a little clunky, while he throws himself into it with energy and good comic timing. The main selling point here is Campbell and he does make it more entertaining than it deserves to be because his performance and his character are quite fun. If you sat to watch it without any vested interested in the character of Sam then probably you'll not get much from it but then this is because it doesn't offer a huge amount for you. Sometimes it is amusing but it is never hilarious sometimes it has action but it is never exciting it just tends to have a little bit of everything to make it passable for those willing to go along with it. The result is somewhat of a B-movie thriller except with an oddly uneven tone running across it.

It feels and looks like either less money was available for it or the makers were playing it in a slightly different way. Alicia Rensin (Tina Casciani) The sister of Walt Rensin who was part of Dale Lawson’s gang which kidnapped the daughter of mob-attorney Adam Scott. From the start it does feel like we are in a "lesser" product though because the camera work and sets seem to lack the style, colour and flair of the TV show proper. This flashback structure takes us away from the normal settings in the main but (hopefully) still allows for the easy mix of style, comedy and action that makes Burn Notice a "safe pair of hands" when it comes to prime time. Between season 4 and 5 of Burn Notice, this prequel movie of sorts was produced that focuses on Sam who, when we join him, is undergoing an informal military "interview" over his actions during a mission in Columbia.
