Mercenaires

I really didn't like it. It's a total cliché and Megan Fox doesn't convince anyone playing a tough ex military. The special effects are really bad, it lose proportionality between the computer animals and the actors. By the way, the overall acting is really bad.

Well.. 3 stars only for the message this movie gave... stop hunting animals lions, tigers, elephants etc and save their habitat.

Movie sucks otherwise..

The title pretty much says it all. She is just there for eye candy and never seems to get dirty in any scene. Poor acting throughout. CGI of lions was low budget yet they are the stars of the movie. It tries to be non stop action, but the shaky camera and annoying shootouts are poorly done. And lets have a 200'+ cliff drop into a 20' rolling river like no problem.

I didn't think my day would include writing a review regarding this flick. After reading all the negative reviews and comments about it, I figured I'd watch it to see how bad it really was. Well, I must say it wasn't the best movie I've ever watched and nothing I haven't seen before but to say it was a total waste of time, I'd go with no it wasn't. Does it have it's flaws? Absolutely, there are quite a few but it wasn't near as bad as some make it out to be. In the case of the CGI, brutal. Very bad and the story was all over the place. The so called "comedy" fell flat but I thought the action decent and she reloaded. That should be worth a star right there. I've seen worse.

Overall I'd say if you get a chance, watch it for yourself but don't spend your hard earned money on it. I thought it was a decent time waster and would watch it again. I really can't believe I'm actually defending this movie but a 3.8? It's better than that, hell, the Doorman is rated higher and that sucks way more than his one. Just say'n.

Rogue is a 2020 American action film directed by M. J. Bassett, who wrote the screenplay with her daughter, Isabella. The film stars Megan Fox as a battle-hardened mercenary leading a team of soldiers on a daring mission to rescue hostages in remote Africa.

Being honest, I only decided to watch this movie because of Megan Fox. I've always loved her in movies like Jennifer's Body and although she's not known for her "Oscar-worthy" acting chops I thought she played the lead here rather well. She's a strong heroic presence, bringing a bit more emotional depth to her performance than I anticipated. The film itself however slowly crumbles under bad dialogue, bad direction, bad CGI and shrewd characterisation. Beyond all of the key things that make a movie great, the film is sporadically rather entertaining - it's got a few fun fight scenes and car chases here and there and I was never bored throughout the film but the films cookie-cutter plot and cardboard characters weren't enough to warrant a higher rating from me I'm afraid.
