‘Alarum’ Review: Sylvester Stallone Parachutes Into Busy but Unconvincing Spy-Jinks
Scott Eastwood and Willa Fitzgerald play former agents whose escape into civilian life gets derailed in Michael Polish’s convoluted shoot-‘em-up.

Hiking nearby with tourists, Joe has barely begun to poke around the debris when he’s surrounded by a small army of hostile mercenaries led by ruthless Orlin (Mike Colter). She and Eastwood attempt a bantering dynamic that only weakens any pretense of mortal peril, while a tired Stallone and arch Moffatt at times seem to be kidding the material — which isn’t strong enough to take it.
