Hostile Forces

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.

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.

Gave this chance on the high reviews, I also don't mind a low budget film but sorry this is bad. Not sure how old George is about 50? Did he wake up one morning and think I know let's make a really cheap Rambo film today ? The result a very bad Rambo film made in 24hrs. . . Must try harder. I need 600 characters but not sure what else to say..

Maybe I could be in part 2 and make it a 5 star film, George if you read this I'm available free of charge, I know all the mid 80's action classics to help bring the ratings up to the right level.

How much did this cost to make I wonder ?

Will this review make it ?

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 an alright movie but has some shortfalls that prevent me from giving it a higher rating.

The voice acting is alright but things can feel of from time to time, but overall it's what's expected from a budget film.

The story doesn't really matter, or at least thats what it feels like. The story is simply there to provide an excuse to have a bunch of fighting and shooting sequences.

The action is alright but feels particularly forced in multiple times. This includes multiple instances where the characters would drop their gun either in the midst of the fight or intentionally to go first-to-fist. It feels like the only goal for the movie was to just make a bunch of fighting scenes regardless of if it made any sense.

Overall, if you're looking for a series of barely connected action sequences reusing the same tropes between multiple encounters then this movie is for you.
