Greetings
valued Dan's Movie Report readers. Thanks to Natalie Burn, I heard
about the filming and eventual release of Acceleration. Natalie also
serves as the film's producer and casting director, Acceleration has
a rather simple plot of a crime lord Vladich Zorich played by Dolph
Lundgren who is doubled crossed by Rhona Zyocki (Natalie Burn).
Rhona must complete a night full of tasks in order to get her son
back.
Acceleration
is a decent action flick, with little wasted time. Clocking in at a
mere 85 minutes even after the credits, the film progresses from one
action sequence to the next with rapid fire succession. Amazingly
there is an incredible array of action star cameos from Danny Trejo,
Rampage Jackson, and Chuck Liddell. My only issue here is that all of
them are in the film for such a short time, that none of their
characters are given any backstory. Wonder Woman actress Mayling Ng,
plays some sort of crime kingpin, and Natalie Burn is sent in one of
her endeavors to eradicate her. As cool as this set up is, I wish the
fight was a bit longer, and Mayling's character was explored further.
Acceleration
has a good sense of urgency, never slowing down for a sappy love
scene nor downtime. Sometimes the film is even too fast, sliding from
scene to scene so rapidly the audience has barely enough time to
catch up. My other complaint is the film, most of which occurs at
night is so dark, that it is hard to see some of the action. For a
low budget indie though, it is a bit better than most, and watchable.
With each person Natalie has to encounter she seems to get more
brazen and less concerned about what happens to her, more focused on
the mission and getting her son back. This fact is often lacking on
many indie films.
Natalie
Burn is a solid talent, and she is constantly approving. She has a
dark and sultry look, somewhat sweet, yet dangerous. This is a big
starring role for her and she proved she is up to the task of
carrying a movie. Natalie has obviously trained in fighting and gun
play, and has worked on her acting skills as well. Obviously it is
very difficult to produce and star in your own film, yet Natalie made
a wise choice, as Acceleration serves as a great acting reel for her
in future projects. I think she deserves a big shot at a theatrical
film.
Directors
Daniel Zirilli and Michael Merino serve as Acceleration's directors
with Merino being the screenwriter. Zirilli is adept at directing
action, and in Acceleration it shows. Acceleration has a bigger film
feel, than it's small budget, and having a Maserati Sedan as Natalie
Burn's transportation, some slick locations, and a solid cast of
established stars.

Acceleration has some pretty cool scenes and is worth a watch. The
film rates a 7 out of 10, and Natalie Burn is a future action star in
the making.
