Truly Dreadful Film
Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It doesn't have the big production feel but it delivers 100% on it's billed genre.No time is wasted in giving an action packed story to the audience.The Shaky cam is a bit off putting initially but it quickly ties in to the fast pace of the movie.The cast is small but talented as will be appreciated in the fight scenes.Overall it isn't very flashy at all but if you are a fan of shows like The Unit and 24, you will definitely enjoy the film.
This is a great movie if you're looking for some mindless edge of the seat action, but the rest of the movie wasn't all that great. The story-line was a bit fuzzy and acting ranged from decent to just bad. I know this wasn't meant to be the next Shooter but it still left me wishing for more. The action scenes were amazing however. The director did a great job with camera angles and sounds to help the viewer feel as if they were in the fight too. Those kinds of scenes literally got my heart pumping from the excitement, I just wish the plot in between was a little more developed and the actors did a little better at, well acting. Overall it is worth watching if you just feel like getting your heart going without watching a horror movie, but if you're looking for a mind-blowing plot I would skip it.
Was there ever a VanDamme, Seagal, or Schwartzneggar movie with a great plot? Face it, we only give 10's to dramas, don't we? Well, this was an action movie, and as such, it rates a 10. The directing was top notch (for an action movie) and the fight signs were great. If you are an MMA fan, and you like a little jiu-jitsu, then you'll love these sequences. The best part is you can actually see the fighting taking place, none of that "let's make you feel like you're there by bringing the camera too close and shaking it around while people fight" crap. You can actually see the martial arts in action, and it's good, solid, crisp stuff, very nice. I tell you, the directing was great as well. Everyone has a beef, and so did I, with two things. One, a remote/timer bomb in someones head (hey, its better than the "my wife and I are so happy, we're the perfect couple, someone killed her, now it's time for revenge" plot that fuels 99% of action movies.) Also, it's great to see North Korea as the bad guys. I mean, in real life, those guys are F@#@#$ nuts, so why aren't they in more movies? But really, having North Korean agents planted everywhere was a little ridiculous. Seriously though, as an action movie goes, 10/10. It was no Schindler's List, but for craps sake people, did you think it would be?
Having watched this film last night, it started off at a pace detailing the background, and character build of Michael, an ex Navy Seal, and what he had been through.Five years on from what happened in North Korea, his past comes back to haunt him, in a peculiar twist of events, which even now having watched the film, still cannot understand, how, and why.Not too bad a film, some good fighting sequences, but overall, plot, storyline, and acting are quite poor, although, as said, the fighting sequences are what make this film, but thats about it. So if you like martial arts, then this film maybe for you, but don't get your hopes up on a great ending. I was kind of deflated when I realized the film neared its end.
