Hostile Forces

This is a really bad movie.. weird storyline, the acting was strange.. fake and unbelievable fighting scenes. Hate this movie. Doesn't pass the vibe check.. the family cant act,except the lady who tried a little bit but the other bad guys were just weird and have no acting skills.

I just didn't like the movie. Zero rating.

I'm not surprised at the fake reviews. At this point, with these movies, it's expected. I lose so much respect for the movie when that happens. I was going to give this a 2 but now, it gets a 1.

This movie is low budget, so like I've been saying in my reviews lately, don't expect stellar acting. I will say it wasn't terrible but those fight scenes were hilarious. You won't be on the edge of your seat due to a thrill but more so a laugh. Darn close to falling out of your seat. You could clearly tell they were over rehearsed and over acted. You could also see there was absolutely no real strength to at least make them believable.

What also threw me off about this movie, was it seemed like every scene was literally shot once. This movie just had very little effort put into it.

It was an ok watch and I recommend it if you have nothing else, but please with these phony reviews. They are just as laughable as those fight scenes.

Hostile Forces is a no-frills, low-budget action thriller that delivers exactly what it sets out to: suspense, survival, and shootouts in the Australian bush. Written, directed by, and starring George Basha, the film follows a former soldier forced to defend his family when a remote holiday turns into a deadly manhunt.

The plot is familiar and leans on genre staples, but it moves at a good pace and keeps the tension alive. Basha brings gritty energy to the lead role, though some supporting performances are uneven and the dialogue occasionally feels stiff.

While the action isn't flashy, it's competent and grounded-clearly working within budgetary limits, but with enough heart to pull it off. It won't blow you away, but for fans of indie thrillers and homegrown Aussie action, Hostile Forces is a decent watch.

Let's start with the plot. There's not a skerrick of originality in it. If you've ever watched a cheap and nasty 80s blood-and-guts action movie, you don't need to watch this.

Then there's the implausibility. You travel with your family to a house in the remote bush with no telephone, no internet, but a huge TV set for some reason, and the first thing you notice is a horrible smell. "Probably a dead rat" is the explanation offered by one of the characters. Does anyone bother looking for the rat? Matybe you could check under the furnitre or behind the fridge. No, they just settle in and continue to wonder about the horrible smell.

To escape the people who are trying to kill them, they find a rocky shelter, well exposed, not very far from the house, and they light a fire on the first night. Yep, they'll be safe there.

Ok so. Most reviews lambasted this flic for not being what they expected. I found this riveting. No bag of stunts. No rediculous.pyrotechnics. This was a well done edge of your seat low budget thriller with a bunch of no big name actors who did their craft very well. Done with very few cliche lines. I really could not predict where this was going in terms of the usual plots Hollywood movies would have taken. Throughout the action I kept trying to predict the next move and only once was I right. As low tech and low production feeling this movie may have been. This movie kept me guessing throughout its unfolding action and development of characters. Quietly, slowly enjoyable is how I would characterize this film!
