AWOL-72 (2015)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

People are voting emotionally.

A different way of telling a story

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Conrad Miller (Luke Goss) is AWOL and has the local police and Russians looking for him. He is aided and abetted by his girlfriend Laura (Heather Roop) while the police (RZA) are looking for him.This is a film that is all over the place as the reason why everyone wants Conrad is a mystery as well as what he is up to. We know he has bad dreams and gets PTSD sex from a beautiful woman. The individual scenes were good, but the plot is loosely constructed and even when we find out what is going on, it is still a big "huh?"PLOT SPOILER It is an odd film where our heroes betray the American government. I was a bit dumbfounded.Guide: F-bomb. sex. No nudity.

For God's Sake !! Another above average movie about terrorists, where is the creativity of movie makers? I even don't know why I lose my time watching this movie. In fact, I didn't watch it all, but what I see was enough... The movie is absolutely predictable, the good guy has some problems, but at the end he (presumably, i did not see) overcomes all of of them. It is an action movie, with the typical more of the same approach. Perhaps the best quality of the movie is that it is short, the suffering is not so prolonged. So here am I losing more time with it. Simply said, this movie belongs to the category "avoid like the plague"

A lot of good actors end up carrying films like this. Sometimes they hit on a good one, with a good budget. I think it's just a matter of the popularity of the actor. Tony Jaa in the protector for example. His martial arts and acting was a lot better than in Furious 7. Heat with Robert De Niro was all star and therefor a hit. The expendables however..an exception. Too many actors competing.Jason Statham is very popular but Crank(either one) was lousy. Luke Goss, although a good actor, seems to get canceled out when playing next to a better known tough guy even if it's a lousy movie. Popularity or just not being well known enough. What would happen if you threw in say Jason Statham instead of RAZ? Might be even, might not. Would be better though, but try getting a hold of Jason and your budget go'es up 50%. Altogether i give i give this one a 7 only because i watch movies depending on the actor who's in it. By the way, i've never even heard of RAZ until this movie.

Watched this movie with a friend and we both thought it was worth a bucket of popcorn and the 1.5 hours. Is it academy award winning material? Absolutely not. Is the storyline new or innovative. Again, no. However, I thought Luke Goss had good screen presence and to see RZA continue to branch out of his music origins is a welcome sight. A previous reviewer focused on RZA's poor acting skills. I didn't see that. This is his 3rd movie that I have seen and I see him getting better. I must state that Bokeem Woodbine's character was unimpressive. He tried to do the 'hard/killer' roll and it fell flat. With all that said I suggest to take a chance and have a look see. You won't be blown away but you won't be disappointed either.
