Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Sean Rodgers Ha Ha Ha Ha.I have seen some really bad films in my time but this falls directly into the "who funds this junk" category.I was very pleased with myself as I managed to sit through 28 minutes of it before I cracked and started fast forwarding looking for any potentially good bits. I was bitterly disappointed. The computer graphics appeared to have been done on a BlackBerry. Actually that's unfair, I love my BlackBerry. The acting was poor, the direction was worse. The "locals" dancing in one scene didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing. Nobody knew how to hold or fire a rifle and the non combatant killed more people than anyone else. I don't actually need to say more about this film as nothing about it is any good. Its proper rubbish, and not even in a good way. Do not waste your money. A real "must miss".
cyberscribe Wow. I have seen some really bad movies in my time, but this one truly takes the cake. It's the worst movie I've seen in the past decade - no exaggeration.As a US Army veteran of the war in Afghanistan, I found it nearly impossible to even finish watching this ridiculous film, not because it brought back memories - far from it - but because there was absolutely no attempt at "authenticity" to be found anywhere in the film. Not so much as the tiniest little shred. It seemed like it had been written by an 8 year-old child who got all his notions of war (and soldierly behavior) straight out of comic books. The film was made in Honduras, which should have been a clue, but even that can't fully explain the atrocious production values of this cliché-ridden piece of trash.I could try to list all the endless technical flaws, but it would take virtually forever. From the ancient unit shoulder patches which have not been seen or worn since WWII, and the character's name tags, like "ColCollins" (worn by the character "Colonel Collins"), which was actually spelled using the reversed, mirror-image "N" of the Russian alphabet (not the US alphabet) the list just goes on and on. The uniforms, the equipment, the plot, and most especially the behavior of the characters themselves -- every single scene was just chock-full of ridiculous flaws, inaccuracies and utterly mindless clichés.Neither the storyline itself nor the characters were the least bit credible or believable. It was all laughably childish, in the extreme. This was obviously a movie that was meant to appeal strictly to pre-pubescent boys, and I have little doubt that even they would find this film utterly absurd.In short, this film has absolutely NO redeeming qualities at all. It's a total waste of time. I'd strongly advise anybody reading this to pass this garbage by; it's truly not worth wasting a single moment of your time for.
TWerewolf I tried to watch this movie in a military camp during an overseas mission, and let me tell you, you'll watch anything under those circumstances. Not this piece of sh*t though.The first five minutes set the tone by weak porn-movie quality acting, weird out-of-the-blue plot twists and unbelievable situations and behavior. It gets worse after that. This movie does not have one single saving grace, and yet it is not bad in a way that would make it funny to watch. It's just horrible. I've seen quite many movies in my life and I'm not one of those snobby know-all critics, I mean I'll enjoy most movies to some extent even if they're bad. This one... man.Steer _well_ clear of this one, my friend.
admin-108 I got the screener in the mail and thanks to word of mouth about the female lead in the movie, sat right down to watch it.What I've heard is true. This woman has a talent that ranks right up there. I'm actually disappointed that I haven't seen more of her.The movie itself is set in a scene that we've unfortunately either have gotten too familiar with or have become sanitized against, but thanks to the lead charactes in this movie, we get to look at it from a more personal view: two people in the middle of the war and having to make their way out against the odds.I found myself watching it in two ways: one as a viewer and reviewer of films and the cast involved, and then as an audience member. Two things stood out from both: the part of Kris Andrews was intense; anyone that has the talent to carry it out during the more violent scenes and then show when she finds a breaking point and takes matters into her own hands to save herself so that the audience is actually cheering her on to do it... well, that's good old fashion talent and, why was Fred Dryer in the movie when we only got to see a few minutes of him? I had hoped for a little more involvement there.This movie is a straight to video but if all the movies were like this, I doubt I'd want to go to the theatre.***** out of *****!
