Chain of Command (2015)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

If I wasn't a Steve Austin fan I would have struggled to even give this film a score of 1, let alone 2. The disappointment level of the movie is summed up by one shocking omission by the editing department where we see a guy clearly landing on a crash mat during a fight scene. Poor acting, unbelievably bad music that didn't match with the tone trying to be conveyed in each scene, and unnecessary use of sound effects all combined to successfully make my wife fall asleep.

Well I have watched a lot of movies over the years but this has to be the one movie that contains such bad acting it's like they were just starting first year in acting school. Only person I had really heard of was Steve Austin and wasn't expecting too much from him as he is not really a film actor per se, just and actor from the world of wrestling.Looks like this Jai guy has some fighting moves but they are totally wasted in this movie.If you must watch it then just accept that, you were warned. Honestly, the rest of the reviews have given it low marks and I will be no different. Simply awful.

I'm a fan of Michael Jai White and he's a decent actor in some things - The Dark knight but his real drawing point is his fighting skill like in Undisputed 2 and Blood and Bone so I expected lots of cool fighting amongst low budget B movie fun. I didn't get that. This movie contains very little action and does not do a good job of showcasing White's skills which I find stupid considering the people who are going to watch this movie will want to see that.The plot isn't all that bad to be honest, but it's just not backed up with anything meaningful. The director fails to create any tension or excitement which makes the short running time, 88 minutes really drag. Steve Austin looks like he would be an awesome match up, a huge imposing guy and the idea that he goes toe to toe with White was an exciting prospect. But here he looks out of shape and he's supposed to a deadly assassin. A missed opportunity.

first of all i like cast of Steve Austin and Michael Jai White playing and working each another role again like Tactical Force (2011) witch was underrated movie then this and well written then this movie. i love Steve Austin in a lot of movies like Expendables, Recoil, Hunt To Kill, Package,Tactical Force the rest are good like Maximum Conviction, The Condemned, a lot of movies he he did was good but this Chain Of Command AKA Echo Effect witch has lame name of movie, Action scenes were not much like not much of fights with Michael jai white and Steve Austin the lead role Michael Jai White did a lot of great movies like Blood and Bone, Undisputed 2, Falcon Rising,Universal Soldier: The Return, character of him did some staff like fights were good and all that and Steve Austin was not in it that much witch is sad i know he can do better movie then this i know he can do better role movie then this he was just talk's about Business that's it expect for ending he's shooting gun lame even acting was not bad at all but the CGI and all fake effect is like movie is not complete well low budget movie we all know that but it's like not even completed at all.Plot: (Michael Jai White)James Webster was solder come home from his duty to see his brother, soon he's brother was murdered. James was search for the perpetrators, but discovers a conspiracy that cuts deep inside the U.S. government drug trafficking with SWAT Trucks.and (Steve Austin)Ray Peters was Business man who got mission to take down James Webster (Max Ryan)Lt. Ross friend who knows James for years they worked each another before, but Ross is turning Against Him behind his back working with Ray. James is putting his friends all in danger to find out who murdered his brother getting buy accident but James Friends knew what was going so that's why they got involved. but movie is just noting special Steve Austin is just talking about getting James Webster and getting pay check doesn't do anything until of end of movie Steve Austin doesn't fight or anything but lame just towards end it's Michael Jai White and Max Ryan fighting like 30 seconds that's it witch is lame knife fight. that's end i know this movie could have done better just get Steve Austin movie for lead role someone should just give him better role for better movie. i mean i know better movies with Steve Austin then this crap movie i didn't like as much mostly i don't have problem with Michael Jai White as lead it's just movie didn't do much needs more action more of showing characters not just Michael Jai White i have enjoyed cast and action but some of action scenes are lame but rest were good and fun scenes but there wasn't much just half of movie was good and then half of it is bad turns out to be like one of bad movies i didn't like as much i know Austin could do better and Jai White Max Ryan is actor i didn't care for as much actor from Death Race (2008), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Kiss of Dragon (2001), The Foreigner (2003) with Steven Seagal. he did make good movies but for this not much at all just didn't do much not i care for reason i watched this movie is for Steve Austin and Michael Jai White but lead is Michael Jai White that's all mostly it's for fans like me but i just kinda got disappointed of this movie there wasn't much but if your fan of Jai White and Austin it's worth of try, not's worth of watching again and again 4.10 movie could have done it better i know Austin and Jai White could do better movies then this.
