Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

alindsay-al I like action films so this one definitely interested me but it ended up being pretty average and by the numbers. The premise sees a former soldiers sister assaulted in brazil, so he goes on the hunt for the men responsible. Michael jai white plays the lead in this film and does a really good job, his character had quite a bit of depth to him and he was fantastic in the action scenes. I liked the main cop in the film and though he was pretty convincing in his role. Also neal McDonough is good even though he is really underutilized in his role. Unfortunately the other characters aren't given any depth at all and you don't care about them whether there good or bad. The story really doesn't have much depth to it at all. You don't see the brother/sister dynamic for long enough to care about it. I did like the ptsd idea but they forget about it way too quickly. The whole premise is very cliché and just not handled that well. The script is pretty weak with no real stand out moment in it and dialogue that doesn't help build the film up. The style of this film is also really good, I like the location of rio because it feels fresh and unique. All the action scenes are fun and pretty exciting thanks to some great choreography. Overall this film is pretty average but if you are a fan of action films there may be some enjoyment for you.

oscarman45 I knew I'd seen Michael Jai White from somewhere else, so a quick check on here and voilà - The Dark Knight.Well I was impressed with Michael Jai White and his moves but and there's always a but...the fight scenes could have been a little more choreographed. As far as fresh new moves for a movie, it didn't hold back one bit. There are some great one-liners in there but it just lacked something.On the hole, I was kept watching, didn't flinch and fell into the film. It's a good movie despite some peoples low rating but what it does clearly show are the very low and dark sides of Brazil...every country has them!!! Enjoy :-)

jwb001 I've watched most films on the IMDb list "Best action movies in 2014/2015" (http://www.imdb.com/list/ls075110196/), from the highest rated down to "Falcon Rising".I really do not understand why other users have given "Falcon Rising" such a low rating (at present, 5.7/10 from 4,359 users). In fact, I gave the film 10/10 simply to counterbalance the naysayers.During the film, a character states that Brazil has the second-largest population of Japanese people besides Japan. I noted to myself, "After the film finishes, I will try to verify this statement; if it's true, I will write a review on IMDb".It's true. (See the article "Japanese Brazilian" on Wikipedia.) Such attention to accuracy reflects well on the film to me."Falcon Rising" is an excellent action film. Definitely better than "Non-Stop" (7.0/10), "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" (6.2/10), and "Taken 3" (6.0/10).

tags_skeewee Wonderful movie. Why Hollywood does not use Micheal jai white more is beyond me. His fighting is beyond excellent. No stunt doubles. No cgi. Just above the rest kick assery. He is one of the best fighting actors ever. He is so under used. Yes, his acting isn't Oscar material, but he plays his parts well. You can really feel his characters emotions. He owns ever action scene he's in. This movie wasn't all action. It had a good story. There was good pacing. Of COURSE he is easy on the eyes to on which helps. You look forward to every scene he's in. The plot line moves along nicely. The shooting location was great. Rio was a great background to the movie. If you like White's other movies, you will like this movie.
