Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
hopcroftpix Not even fit for TV. Derek Jacobi and Dominic Cooper will not be talking at Luvvies dinner parties of this absolute piece of utter drivel, well only if the question comes up of 'What is the worst movie you've ever been in'???
Mister Co. Not a truly terrible film... a decent enough watch if you're a bit bored one night... but to see Dominic Cooper (who was so incredible in 'The Devils Double', a performance that should have won him many awards!) in such an insignificant film... bit depressing. Apparently he came on board at the last minute when Henry Cavill dropped out. Hey, actors gotta work! Hope the cheque was big enough!
JohnAU1965 After reading many reviews about this movie, I was a little hesitant, but ended up being pleasantly surprised.Somewhat understated instead of the crass flash-bang of most American films in the genre, Stratton put up a believable story-line with a worthwhile cast. The moaning and complaining about Dominic Cooper is puzzling, with constant gripes about his lack of physical presence. Anyone with an inkling of the nature of Special Forces soldiers, especially non- American ones, would know that they aren't all 6ft plus full of rippling muscle but are frequently 'normal' looking blokes who are capable of extraordinary things, much like Cooper's portrayal. Mark Donaldson, the Australian SASR VC recipient is a classic example. As for his firearms skills, another sage suggested that "Half the time he uses a weapon he seems to be trying to emulate John Rambo, hip-firing at any opportunity.". I'm not sure what movie that individual was watching, but Cooper, Hoechlin and Stowell all shouldered their weapons sighting through the optics attached as is the usual case with modern operations.One 'expert' reviewer mentioned the use of 7.62mm NATO rounds being incorrect. I'm guessing a little too much time spent playing CoD here. Sorry, wrong again. Gemma Chan's character quite specifically mentions a sniper rifle, with this chambering being quite popular with the application.Equally so, Connie Nielsen's 'atrocious' accent. I couldn't see the problem myself. She spoke with a grace and dignity one would expect from a woman in her role.The action scenes were 'action', the drama as so and the humour or lighter moments equally appropriate.One might think the amount of negative reviews were from opponents of either Dominic Cooper or Simon West or those who were disappointed with Henry Cavill's lack of appearance.Either way, horses for courses and this course suited me down to the ground. Recommended.
jimkennyeverett-691-760833 Right from the beginning this had a straight to DVD / TV feel to it. An excellent cast seem wasted and Connie Nielson is totally miscast with a horrible accent, I usually like her too. Like others have said, the action scenes are poor and the music was awful and brought nothing to the Film, maybe they didn't have the budget. At one point Chen's character mentions NATO rounds being 7.62, when they are now 5.56, but I am just being picky. Any way I lost interest after about 30 minutes. I have liked Simon West's movies in the past but he has seriously lost it of late. On the whole a Sub Par effort.
