Sunray: Fallen Soldier

After seeing the 4.5 rating on IMDb, I thought this may just be another low budget action flick without the goods. Wow, was I wrong!

Lower budget it may be but this film hits with everything it tries to do. Way better than the majority of much larger budget films of a similar nature. The main character and his story are above what you get with much higher rated films on IMDb. Is this movie the equivalent of John Wick? Not quite. But it's certainly still an enjoyable film with decent acting and heart.

If you were like me and questioning whether or not to skip this one, give it a shot. You likely won't regret it.

Went into this film expecting a degree of low budget film-isms, and finished it very impressed with how the film as a whole turned out. Great cinematography, very authentic feeling military persons interactions (unlike most high budget films), well portrayed characters (as far as I'm aware some of the actors are quite fresh in the acting world), and a very strong sound track, all put together, directed and edited very well.

The film does lack a little in some of the effects departments (due to what I assume is a very small budget), but makes up for it with the camera work.

In the end the story was great and enjoyably unpredictable.

A tough violent movie that is hard to watch at times. It certainly does not glamorise military life,but shows the after effects of deployment in conflict zones, that lives on in their lives on discharge. The comradery no longer there,and as a result the fall into a life of loneliness, anger with their thoughts playing on their minds and no outlet except in many cases drifting into crime. However, when the comradery returns and an outlet and counselling is there,well it just might help. But the built up anger over years of combat in theatres of conflict can have devastating consequences for veterans as displayed in this film.

Considering as one reviewer has written this was filmed on a shoe string, through public funding via Kickstarter and none of of the guys involved really had experience in writing, directing or editing (to my knowledge), it's still a great small budget movie... Jesus if you want bad acting and inaccurate details, watch Dirty Angels and that had a far, far bigger budget..!

Honestly a great film, enjoyed the story, the characters and the mental health and PTSD sub-story which tied up the Fallen Soldier angle so well.

Considering these lads are Bootnecks and not Hollywood A listers with million $ budgets, I think they did a bang up job with what they had, and to think this TV Series come Film nearly never happened, I believe this is a true grit and adversity film on all fronts.

Showed British Soldiering well and told a story which is undoubtedly spoken, or should be spoken, by soldiers from all walks of life who have been through battle and come home lost...

Hoofin' geezers, well done.!

If you like a bit of action, mixed with a lot of confusion and a tight little twist tied in a little bow this movie is for you. I don't like generic action movies. I felt like this would be something made for TV or made for VHS rental before I saw it. I was dead wrong. I couldn't sleep and wanted to watch something different. This was scratching an itch I didn't know I had. I was not expecting it to flow as well as it did. I don't know any of these actors and I don't care. They played their roles well and they delivered on an excellent written movie. The twist in this, which I was not expecting it to have at all, was one of the best I've seen. Never saw it coming.
