Mr. Cushing's beard"-a follicular enigma. It sprouts forth like a determined dandelion, only to vanish mysteriously in the next frame. Was it a contractual clause? A follicular feud? We may never know. Now, Eric Roberts-the villain with a twist. Picture him swaying, a tad tipsy, as if the script whispered secrets in his ear. Perhaps he sprinted from one set to another, fueled by adrenaline and a dash of liquid courage. But hey, who needs sobriety when you're chasing cinematic chaos? And the CGI-oh, the fickle digital sprite. In one scene, it conjures dragons that'd make Tolkien raise an eyebrow. But wait, in the next, it burps up pixelated squirrels. Consistency? Nah, it's on vacation, sipping piña coladas by the rendering pool. But here's the kicker: I enjoyed it. Yes, the rollercoaster of absurdity-the asylum movie. It's like that quirky aunt who shows up uninvited, spills tea on the carpet, and leaves you laughing. Because life needs a dash of "what just happened?" and a sprinkle of "why not?" So, fellow viewer, embrace the beard fluctuations, raise a glass to Roberts' tipsiness, and play CGI bingo. Asylum movies-they're the wacky carnival where logic takes a smoke break. And remember, it's okay to laugh. After all, sanity is overrated. There you have it-a review that dances between reality and whimsy, just like an asylum movie.

Well, I can't claim that I was harboring much of any grand expectations to the 2023 movie "DC Down", given the fact that it was a disaster movie with Eric Roberts on the cast list, and it was a Tubi movie. But hey, I still opted to sit down and watch the movie, and give it a fair chance. I couldn't finish the movie, because it was simply too boring and mundane. The storyline was so generic that there was absolutely no entertainment value to it, and thus I ended up tossing the towel in the ring 67 minutes into the ordeal, and the movie ran for 82 minutes. I just couldn't stand the boredom anymore at that point. The acting performances in "DC Down" were as you would expect from a movie of this type, caliber and budget. So yeah, you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here. Aside from Eric Roberts, whom I am by no means a fan of, then I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. Visually then I will say that "DC Down" was actually fair enough. It was not among the worst of disaster movie special effects that I have seen, but nor was it among the best either. All in all, then writer and director Geoff Meed just failed to conjure up a noteworthy disaster movie with "DC Down". And the movie's cover/poster was actually the best thing about the ordeal. My rating of "DC Down" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Poorly written story. They went out of their way to ensure they had strong female leads, but they failed miserably. Even the best characters just go through the motions. Weak characters and terrible plot. Acting was terrible and very wooden. Cheesy story. This type of movie is supposed to be suspenseful, but it was way too predictable. In scenes that are meant to be suspenseful, the characters are unbelievably "cool". One of the characters was "Staff Sergeant" Rawlings, but he wore Master Sergeant stripes on his sleeves, and they were attached very loosely. This guy was always called "Staff Sergeant", but that is not realistic. And his assistant was an Air Force "private". The Air Force has Airmen, not privates. Didn't they do any research regarding the military? At least the movie didn't contain a lot of offensive language or promote any particular agenda. Don't waste your time. Find another show. Read a book. Take a nap. Anything but lose brain cells on this one.

During construction of the expansion of the East Wing of the White House an earthquake hits Washington, DC trapping the President and Vice President under rubble. Only Gerald Butler can save them. Unfortunately his contract is too expensive for Asylum films (happy 25th) so it is up to Lance (Jack Pearson) to save the President (Sean Young). Lance's girlfriend (Kayla Fields) is a seismologists and predicts another quake unless they use desperate measures to stop it which includes flooding all of DC metro with the Potomac. Riots and looting breaks out which takes priority over the rescue so with limited resources, Speaker of the House Eric Roberts calls in the local Virginia militia to rescue the President but it is clear that is not their goal. Anyone who watches the news knows where Asylum comes up with these crazy ideas. Unfortunately they didn't do this well. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Can there be an earthquake in Washington D. C.? Can it rock the entire center of our nation's government and trap both President Powell (Sean Young, yes, Sean Young is the President) and Vice President Jameson (Daphne O'Neal) inside the White House? And in the midst of it all, will Speaker of the House Wilder (Eric Roberts) use the twenty-fifth amendment to take over the leadership of America and bring in The Virginia Lookout militia and their leader Beck (Geoff Meed, who also directed and wrote this) to help calm the populace? And will aftershocks keep blasting the capital? And can it all be stopped by combat engineer Lance Cushing (Jack Pearson) and his seismologist fiance Katherine (Kayla Fields)? The answers are all yes and here I am, watching another Tubi original as the palaces burn. You know, the CGI in this -- The Asylum made it, so you know what you're in for -- is so strange. Even though the landmarks of Washington D. C. are destroyed, traffic keeps on going past. Well, have you been in the traffic in that city? That part is, I guess, somewhat true to life because it's always congested all the time, no matter how much damage an earthquake can emit. My favorite character in this was General Harris (Taylor Woodberry), whose suit doesn't even get creased as he defends the free world and just so happens to have a search and rescue/combat engineer on his contacts list, much less one whose pregnant soon-to-be wife knows how to do dispersal theory to quite literally flood an earthquake and shut it down. Geoff Meed is like a Tubi superstar, writing and acting in this, Butch vs. Sundance and Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch all within a month or less. He started his career in the Universal Studios Hollywood Tour, where he worked in the Wild West Stunt Show, The Adventures of Conan and The Miami Vice Action Spectacular. A 5th degree Black Belt Master in Kempo, a 3rd degree black belt in Hap Ki Do and also the owner of black belts in Tae Kwon Do and karate, Meed went into stunt work, which nearly ended his life in 2012. On the second day of shooting Shadow on the Mesa, he was thrown off his horse and trampled, which led to eight broken left ribs, a busted sternum, a lacerated liver and the need to insert three titanium plates to repair the damage done to his face. That became a workers' comp lawsuit and he retired from stunt work -- he'd need four more surgeries to repair all the damage -- and Geoff moved to Texas to start his own fitness and martial arts studio. Four years later, he came back to Los Angeles and got back into stunt and acting work. It's amazing that he was in two more Westerns after that accident.

From the getgo you know its produce from asylum so when you see crappy cgi and incorrect uniform and settings you know its their trademark. Spoofing other movies and not be acurate. This is one of their bad ones, i know their all bad but some are more watcheable then others. This is not one of themi know their trademark is copying other movies and telling the same story wile changing one word in the original title and remain legal copyright wise but after all these years you think they would atleast improve their cgi or be a little more acurate like putting the right uniform on someone and having the right grade on them.
