Standoff holds up as a welcome alternative to its more strident brethren.

Standoff isn’t quite inspired, but it coasts on unexpected modesty of professionalism.

Writer-director Adam Alleca is better at the keyboard, cooking up chewy tough talk, than behind the camera. The shootout stuff is only passably staged, and the blood-bursts (not his fault…entirely) look digitally added, in some places.

Unfortunately in the hands of writer-director Adam Alecca, this overly talky, slackly executed game of cat-and-mouse comes off as cheesy rather than chilling.

It's a pity that anything that has a hint of religiosity is killed by critics. This movie despite the poor reviews was actually pretty good. the performances were solid as Thos. Janes portrays an interrupted suicide and Larry Fishbourne, using his native Georgian accent, an interrupted hired killer. Sometimes interruptions work out well; and sometimes you should just let it go and move on, but it's hard to tell which in the beginning. We enjoyed it. Music was horrible.

Ninety minutes of total tedium. Laurence Fishburne has become the actor directors turn to if they can't afford Samuel Jackson. Director Adam Alleca (who is also responsible for writing this rubbish) has managed to make a film that is even more badly written than his vile screenplay for the remake of "Last House On The Left".
