Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Leofwine_draca Back in the 1960s, the likes of director Eddie Romero churned out endless WW2 films in the Philippines, all of them sub-par and displaying a distinct lack of talent. In the 1980s, cheap American studios and directors like Cirio H. Santiago reignited the genre with some more enjoyable, RAMBO-inspired blow-em-up pieces of spectacle. All has been quiet for a couple of decades, but now THE HUNT FOR EAGLE ONE seeks to bring this defunct Filipino war sub-genre back to life.Unfortunately the best part of this production is the opening credits, in which we learn that Roger Corman served as the producer and good old Cirio H. Santiago was co-producer. Promise indeed! Sadly, THE HUNT FOR EAGLE ONE turns out to be a throwback to the '60s-style war films rather than the '80s-style, and a right chore it is to sit through too.The film is badly written and horribly directed, with all of that choppy editing and bad, distorted direction that was a scourge of the 2000s (it helped spoil many a Steven Seagal-starring DTV flick, for example). Characterisation is nil and the endless battle sequences are low budget and largely uninteresting, failing to draw viewers into the scenario or action. There are precisely three familiar faces on show here: a tired Rutger Hauer, delivering a minor cameo; a bored Mark Dacascos, in a role which could have fitted anyone; and Theresa Randle (BAD BOYS), who once had a career of sorts in the 1990s, not that you'd know given her performance here. Avoid this one like the plague.

eduard-baba I thought I was going to see something similar to the old time Vietnam movies. It has a similar feel, but then of course nowhere near the continuity of the old movies. This movie cannot even make the F rating of movies. A helicopter is not a plane. More so than that, the recon plane was never shown in the movie but they keep talking about it as if we were supposed to know of its presence, but then there is a moment there where they name the helicopters the "recon planes." This movie really is a jumble of bad acting and bad screen writing. Editing is probably a 2/10 stars since the effort probably was put into that part of the movie to make it at least a 2-hour long endeavor. Also, they do not present the characters correctly. The rescue mission was supposed to have failed when the two recon helicopters got shot out of the sky. Where did the other team come from and how in the hell did they get to the area of trouble so fast that they actually caught up with the rebels? Just awful. I mean I'm not that smart a guy and even I got insulted with the blatant way this movie skipped parts and tried to fill in gaps with rotten conversation.

neiratorres I thought that this movie was great! For its limited budget and not so known actors it was a good movie, filled with action and excitement. Some things are not so good though, but hey, its a B- movie. Mark Dacascos delivers as always. Teresa Randell known from Bad Boys also plays her part as Captain Jennings quite good. The bad rating that this movie has received her, I can not understand. This movie is better than its current average points. It also has a political touch to it, since the enemies are Al- Qaida and the rebels are a part of a network under them. I am looking forward to watch the next movie: "The hunt for eagle one: Crash point".

octahexx We got a black hawk d...ops i meant eagle one down. The actors in this movies is actually not that bad but the story is really poor. They have really bad education on tactical movements and remind mostly of actors trying to be soldiers. their cqb tactics are to all run in a big bunch.Their weapons are really really wrong. The most disturbing is a guy using a redpoint on top of a m16 carry handle AND a high mount so its like in the forehead..very annoying. And he is their sharpshooter..it gave me a headache.The pilot is probably a super soldier because even after torture and being smacked around her haircut is in perfect condition.the so called regular army don't have battle vests at all i guess the budget was used up.Rugter has no real role in this movie they just wanted his name in the movie.You should go for another movie if you like war movies. If you don't know anything about war and weapons and just want something to look at while eating popcorn Sunday 4 in the morning i guess its OK to fall asleep to.
