Opération: Soulcatcher

It doesn't get any more amateur hour than this mess. Co-writer and director Daniel Markowicz put together a film that was riddled with cliches, plot holes and terrible action sequences and editing. A fifth grade drama class can do better. The lead actor was unconvincing and annoying - I'm sure part blame falls on poor cast directing. There were too many incomplete scenes and random ones that made no sense (girl with the tattoo on her forehead), and others were you will see an explosion and not know why/where it came from (e.g. Did helicopter pilot blow up army vehicles and save female soldier?). The entire story has been done many times before and all much better. How a filmmaker can make his viewers sit through a painful 98 min runtime and still barely know what that machine is/does is a sign of terrible filmmaking. There's absolutely no reason to waste your time with this nonsense, I did it for you.

Good lord! Did a bunch of kindergartners make this with a cell phone? Did they even have a script? Whoever produced this just ruined the careers of the actors in this pile of garbage. I feel bad for them. Don't waste your time with this. They couldn't pay me to watch this horse manure again! I just wasted an hour and a half of my life sitting through this to see if there was anything worth while. Watching paint dry would've been more entertaining. At least if the action was halfway decent I wouldn't have felt completely cheated by the bad production value and talentless writing. But it's not. How did this even get released commercially?

I absolutely adored this movie from start to finish. From the moment the opening credits rolled, I was completely captivated by the storyline, the characters, and the stunning cinematography. The plot was so intricately woven, keeping me on the edge of my seat with its twists and turns. Each character was beautifully developed, making me feel emotionally invested in their journey. I found myself laughing, crying, and cheering along with them as they navigated through their challenges and triumphs. The actors delivered outstanding performances, bringing depth and authenticity to their roles. The chemistry between the main characters was palpable, making their relationships feel incredibly real and relatable. The visual effects were simply breathtaking, transporting me to mesmerizing worlds and immersing me in every scene. And let's not forget about the soundtrack - it perfectly complemented the mood of each moment, enhancing the overall viewing experience. As the credits rolled at the end, I couldn't help but sit there in awe, feeling grateful for having experienced such a masterpiece. This movie truly touched my heart, leaving a lasting impression that I know I'll carry with me for years to come. I can't wait to watch it again and relive the magic all over again.

No pun intended - I am not even sure if the (international) title is apt. But let's not get hung up on that. The movie seems like a throwback ... if that is a good or a bad thing ... well up to you! Quite a few cliches - things you have seen in US movies too. If you liked them there, you will like them here. I would not go as far as do Seagal comparisons - that is just me - and below the quality of the movie (as low as you may think it is).

The action is well shot, the predictability rate as high as the hit rate of our main character. He has charisma - and gets a band of misfits to help him. Again no points for guessing the twists (if you can call them that) ... also paper thin character development ... if any ...

This movie was not great I have to be honest. The premise seemed interesting enough. A group are hired to retrieve a weapon of mass destruction, you know how it goes. The thing that I did find good about this though was how we had a zombie theme thrown in, the weapon causes the victim to die at first, but then come back and be angry. Almost to the point of a zombie like creature. The action is decent enough and works well for the film. The acting was decent as well. This movie just seemed decent. There was nothing to great and really this film was just an ok action. Not one of netflixes best, but not the worst either.
