Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
whpratt1 Simply love films and view them all the time, but I actually found myself going to sleep during all the very slow boring scenes. Despite some so called action scenes on a Battleship and some gals that looked beautiful, but needed to eat a meal once in a while. There is a tragic commercial airline crash with all the elite business brains in the country going to their death. Then we progress forward from one topic to another topic, we see twin guys, a game programmer taken hostage and a big bad old time Battleship put into action by a bunch of nuts. The sailor's on the ship had hats that looked like they all came from Disney Land. I should have continued to fall asleep. Miss this film, don't waste your time, it really is a great film to sleep through.
carboran_1126 So, I will just comment on the realism and accuracy of this movie. First of all, they could have had at least one person there who knew how to hold a gun. You cannot shoot an AK-47or an M-16 with the butt in mid air. Not only did they do that, but they had amazing accuracy - absurd.Second of all, where the heck were the Marines on the ship? Each ship has to have Marines at all times. This ship had not a single. Again - absurd.Few good things: The girls were all really attractive. The final battle was pretty cool.
eibon This flick was much better than expected. Great Action (in the tradition of the James Bond movies), good acting and superb locations. This movie sure is above b-standards! If you love bad guy Jürgen Prochnow you will also love this movie.
corky-27 This grade-B flick is actually a cut above your typical made-for-cable fare, notably because there is a semblance of plot to add to the by-the-numbers action sequences. A young "elite squad" of trained anti-terrorists take on Jurgen Prochnow in a by-now expected villain turn, and there's a personal twist to the proceedings as well. All of the cast is awfully pretty (at first it was difficult to distinguish between any of the three blond male leads, two of whom are twins!), and the beautiful Maxine Bahns kicks some terrorist butt as well (not so far-fetched, as I learned from her IMDB bio that she's a triathlete in real life). All in all, a pretty decent way to waste a sleepless night while surfing the cable box. 2 stars (out of 5) on the Corkymeter.
