Grabbing this for a review. SLIGHTLY^mad 11:09, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox: Under Release date, specify the exact venues during the August 27 and September 26 premieres. The runtime is also unsourced; just cite the BBFC as a reference since it's considered reliable by MOS:FILM
Plot: consider expanding this into a real plot summary; this requires watching the movie. Make sure it comports with WP:FILMPLOT.
Development:The scripted film took place in Alaska, What do you mean by "scripted film"? I'm confused.
Filming: Apparently, the city and public were very interested in the movie's production and the presence of Dolph Lundgren within their community. "Apparently" is WP:EDITORIALIZING
Release: On March 3, 2017, the film was released in "select theaters" and made available through video on demand. What does quoting "select theaters" imply? I feel like this is WP:SCAREQUOTES. I would rephrased that clause into, "On March 3, 2017, the film had a limited theatrical release..."
Critical reception: According to him, Don't Kill It "plays like a B-movie version of Fallen. Please provide a link for Fallen, and make sure it is the same stuff the reviewer was talking about.
Home media: Expand this by adding reviews of the DVD/Blu-ray versions.
Avoid use of contractions per MOS:N'T. I managed to fix some of them in the prose but I'm leaving the others for you to fix. If there are contractions in direct quotes, just leave them alone.
Kindly double-check if the prose observes proper logical quotation.

Metal121, I'm giving you until September 1 to fix these concerns, even though such a long time won't be necessary. If these are not addressed on or before the prescribed date, I will have to fail this outright. SLIGHTLY^mad 12:35, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"attached to direct for over three to four years" I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand that, and "over three to four years" is very odd phrasing.
" budgeting concerns. The budget " quick repeat of budget is reptitive.
"$1 million; with" no need for that semi-colon at all.
"had one to two weeks notice." one-to-two
"postponed on two separate occasions," -> "postponed twice"
" in Hamburg, Germany on " comma after Germany.
"at the Fantastic Fest film festival in" -> "at Fantastic Fest in"
" March 3, 2017 via AMC Theatres.[1][2] " comma after 2017 and why is this the only place to use refs? No need assuming this info is in the article and referenced there.
Plot is too long. Our MOS recommends between 400 and 700 words, this is currently at nearly 1000.
"to "a happy accident."" ref quote and I don't understand what this means.
"Mendez'" ->"Mendez's"
"project.[11][10] " ref order.
Quotes need referencing and when unclear, attribution too.
" Jebediah Woodley; his debut in the horror movie" comma, not semi-colon.
"Dolph Lundgren in 2015," image caption is fragment so no full stop required.
" role "probably" 9–10 months" why "probably"? The lead doesn't say "probably"?
"time, but "had it all down"; production " the first part of this is really unnecessary, one would imagine that all professional actors "have it down" before filming. The second part should be a sentence in its own right however, not another semi-colon run-on.
"and "maybe a week or two" before " I don't think these kind of quotes are really necessary or enhancing the article. This could be "and about two weeks" in plain prose.
"filming; at which point she was cast." no need for semi-colon.
" at which point she was cast. This was due to all of the producers disagreeing on who they wanted to play the" odd order. The delay was because of a failure to agree, not the point at which she was cast.
" December, 2015" no need for the comma.
"in Lexington, Mississippi;[17][10] over " order, no need for semi-colon, it's a comma.
"12 days to prep" " again, no quote necessary, just "12 days to prepare" in plain prose is fine.
""20 miles out." [N 3] " ref quote and no space before note.
" helpful; and provided the production crew with access to different locations; including t" no need for either semi-colon, lose the first and replace the second with a comma.
"Mendez on the filming of Don't Kill It.[11]" fragment, lose the full stop. Same for other box quote.
"during which time " at which time, it's a single day.
"would "launch sales" at the" another unnecessary quote.
Could link Limited theatrical release.
Avoid single-sentence paragraphs.
"Richard Whittaker, of The Austin Chronicle" lose the comma.
Use the {{'}} template for 's after words in italics to prevent the apostrophe crashing.
"surface, Don’t Kill It has" italics for film title.
"of 92%; based on " delete semi-colon.
Again, avoid single-sentence paras.
No need to link DIY, I think most readers understand it.
Likewise Halloween.
"Noel Murray, of the " remove comma. Several of these.
" "enjoyable comedic wit"; although "nothing Oscar worthy, it carries Lundgren "a lot farther than you'd expect".[30]" lose the semi-colon and there's an odd number of quote marks here.
"Distribution.[32][33][34][6][20]" five (out of order) citations really needed for this single sentence?

That's it for a first pass, so it's on hold. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 10:42, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Metal121 I'll give this a week before failing it if no response is forthcoming. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 20:39, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
