In Lights Out, a homeless veteran, Michael "Duffy" Duffield (Frank Grillo), meets a talkative Ex-Con, Max Bomer (Mekhi Phifer) who notices Duffy's skills after he gets into a bar fight and offers him a well-paying "job" competing in underground fight clubs. The pair form an unlikely partnership after their first fight and decide to travel to LA so Duffy can atone for his past and Max can pay back a crime boss, Sage Parker (Dermot Mulroney). Duffy enters Sage's fight club and eventually wins, but it also gets him tied up in the crime world and offered jobs he can't refuse, including one with Sage's partner and Police officer, Ellen Ridgway (Jaime King). The deeper Duffy goes in this world, the more deadly it gets. Read More Read Less

Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I was sitting there basically screaming at the movie "Where's Scott Adkins?" Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Lights Out is a waste of time. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed ... the film is easy to watch, but also rather frustrating to watch. It has potential and makes very little use of it. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Dreary B-film. Rated: C+ Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) If you were a fan of Chuck Norris movies from the 1980s then you will love this. Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Sean Chandler Sean Chandler Talks About Lights Out can't decide if it wants to be a tournament fighter or a corrupt cop movie. I preferred the tournament fighter sections which reminded me of Van Damme's Lionheart. The action was edited too choppy for me to be able to recommend the film. Rated: C+ Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Aiden M This was cool butt the one thing that is not was the CGI in the story And the Camera movement But the five sequences was dope a 9.5/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Lloyd S Just a waste of time. The story wasn't even interesting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Tim P Utter waste of time. There's barely anything redeemable here at all. Frank Grillo does a great job with his part but the movie is an utter disappointment. The fight scenes are unbelievably short. There's a massive gunfight that makes zero sense at all. A character getting ambushed and despite his military training turns tail and runs, yet somehow he avoids getting shot at 30 yards by several people with rifles. Bullets from one gun hitting a door several feet to the right of a target, yet he goes down. Despite being a story told already, it still could have been good, but instead the whole thing was a waste of time and had me wondering what they were thinking. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Bryan D This movie could have been great. Frank Grillo deserves a more high profile movie. Unfortunately, it was over-edited and needed another 30 minutes to develop relationships, characters and storyline. It was rushed, but had the makings of a solid film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Penny C Worst movie I've seen in awhile. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Sheila L Great film! Love how action packed it was!
