Guns of Eden

Bad acting even if it was a 70's porno! There was nothing good about this movie. The cast needs to go back to acting school. They were all absolutely horrible. The plot was dreadful. If I was a hillbilly I'd be following a lawsuit against the makers of this film. It portrays them to be 10 times worse than they actually are. The budget on this film must have been scraping the bottom of the bucket. Did they just roll up to a town and ask it he wants to be in a movie, can we use your town. The director of this film should be absolutely ashamed themselves. I know everybody has to start somewhere but this is not a good start at all for anyone. The best thing that could happen to this film would be to remove it from all streaming services and burn the hard copy.

Where do I begin? Besides the directors hiring every Newby under the sun with bad acting skills, the tactical advisor should be fired or go back to Mall cop school. This was absolutely thee worst movie I have seen in a long time! What's worse is that this so-called movie was actually allowed to be aired! This movie is an insult to every Soldier, cop and law enforcement agency world wide! The dialogue and acting was laughable and the only reason I kept watching was because I enjoyed pointing out the mistakes and laughing at them! Oh and how I laughed! Definitely not worth watching and I will 100 percent advise viewers to skip this abomination and save themselves the agony of watching this.

I honestly only watched this because of actress Brooke Lewis Bellas. Any Brooke fans just know the trailer makes it seem like she's in it more. But, she came and went. A travesty I say as this is a waste of super talent. With that rant over I'm legit surprised how fun this film was. Cheesy AF and low budget, but overall I had fun. I've seen enough of these and some can drag. This one went by pretty quickly (thought in fairness it's also shorter than expected) I think the ending was either trying to set up for a sequel or maybe there's a message it was trying to state that went over my head? Either way, it just felt unsatisfying. But overall still had fun.

Having been a fan of Greg Lamberson's previous horror efforts, and knowing his love for the action genre, I was really excited to see what he could do.

And, man, was I delighted. This script is tight, punchy and strong. It weaves some of the action tropes we've seen before into a fresh plot with a multitude of antagonists (a group of several small armies) and some well-done fight scenes. There's even a ridiculously good-looking helicopter that would have you guessing about its legitimacy if you didn't already know what they did going in.

The highlight of the film is its star. Alexandra Faye Sadeghian plays the role with pathos and weight without sacrificing fun. She is absolutely an action star.

Highly recommended.

I have seen worse movies, and I have given up on better movies. It is in the zone where it can almost be enjoyed for how bad it is, but it is teetering on the brink of being so bad it can barely be stomached.

Overall this reminded me of exploitation movies from the 60's and 70's except with worse acting, directing, special effects and writing. It really seemed like a bunch of teenage boys wrote the script, trying to outdo each other for how macho and tough they can sound. Except the lines are being delivered by their parents.

For the copious amount of guns, they drew in explosions and maybe cartridges ejecting, not to mention occasional ricochet sparks and incredibly evenly spaced holes in cars and buildings. I think they also spent about five dollars on ketchup packages.

Anyway, if you are a fan of really bad movies, give it a shot. If not, avoid it at all costs.
