'Neighborhood Watch' Review: Your TV Faves Jack Quaid and Jeffrey Dean Morgan Buddy Up and Save a Gritty Throwback Thriller
With Neighborhood Watch, a formulaic story is made unforgettable due to its lead characters, played by Jack Quaid and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Buddy action movies have been done to death throughout movie history. From comedies to dark action films, every angle possible has been taken. Well, almost. Then along came Neighborhood Watch, written by Sean Farley and directed by Duncan Skiles, who crafted the compelling 2018 thriller The Clovehitch Killer. Neighborhood Watch thinks outside the box by telling a very familiar story in a new way. In the film, a young woman is abducted, and the hunt is on to find her and her kidnapper before it's too late, but our heroes aren't two detectives. Instead, they're a couple of down-and-out dudes who have been shunned by the world. Jack Quaid and Jeffrey Dean Morgan give heartbreaking and sometimes hilarious performances as two men who need to prove to themselves and everyone around them that they can save the day.
