Attack on Finland

This was horribly directed and written, with a sloppy, bloated, incohesive and convoluted screenplay. Literally the entire two hour runtime could've been cut down to a 20 min short film and you would miss absolutely nothing. After about 20 mins, we were all struggling to stay awake and/or started playing with our phones. This film is 90% filler and 10% substance. There's a lot of nothing happening, and it's just repetitive and boring. I'm pretty sure the same scene of a helicopter flying into the city was copy and pasted multiple times. Was this bloated sloth even edited? The pacing was ridiculously slow and dragged out, just like pretty much every scene. It' a shame, because the cinematography was amazing, and the performances convincing for the most part. I just wish there was a real story here with some reason to care about the characters or the plot.

This kind of films with these scripts just thinking its made by kids' 7 years old.

Just a package of rubbish, for a real fan of movies' it's a torture to watch.

If you love yourself a little bit, avoid this garbage.

This was watchable . . . I guess. There was a lot of filler material with long boring shots that went nowhere. Disparate parts of the plot never crystalized and action scenes tended to be either flat or overblown. I could not tell if part of the movie was filmed in English, or if the English was dubbed in later. I watch everything with subtitles turned on anyway. It's too late for the politics of the plot to be relevant, so I wasn't watching to see that play out. Even so, I expected for a conspiracy to revealed up into the highest realms of the government . . . But in the end, it just all fizzled out.

The plot is a film about security topics from EU and Finnish centric perspective, which is unique and provides quite a bit to be explored. The current geopolitical environment also makes the basic storyline somewhat believable. However, as the film progresses, the plot holes keep on expanding to the point that the film became quite nonsensical at the end. It is fine if it has the budget of blockbuster Hollywood action flick to cover that up, but it doesn't. Even though they did an outstanding job with the budget, it is still not quite there in absolute terms and it shows. The acting is bland, but perhaps it is a cultural element there. What is clear, though, is that the actors clearly didn't spend enough time/effort training. Their combat techniques (weapon manipulation/tactical movements etc.) look like amateurs when they are supposed to be highly trained agents. It is definitely not the worst action film I've seen, but unfortunately I cannot say I recommend this movie.

Where to I start.

Plot-The plot was overly complicated and dubious that I am not sure what was going on, why it was happening, to who it involved and finally not caring anymore.

Stupid villians-One person with a handgun vs six highly trained black ops with high-tech automatic weapons which they already had pointed. Want to guess who won? Yeah, we got those types of scenes.

Who shooting who-At one point the villians and 'police' was dressed the same, so when the shootout started, you could not tell who was being shot. Bad oversight committed by the director.

Subtitles- Either subtitle the entire move, or dub the movie, please pick one. Here the movie was almost 50-50 with dubbing then switching to Finnish, Russian, French and English. It was very confusing expecially if you were not watching the screen every second.
