Squad 77

OVER HALF of this movie is a bad training montage. OVER HALF. And in that montage, we learn virtually nothing about the characters and nothing at all about the mission they're going on. Ever heard the writing adage, "Show, Don't Tell"? Well, the screenwriter certainly hasn't. Every single scrap of exposition, from character traits to plot points, is TOLD to the audience, and poorly. The acting would be embarrassing for a community theater. The direction is AWFUL. The movie is so slow, and drags so much, that getting through it is a chore. When the movie DOES get around to the actual "mission", it is poorly filmed, poorly paced, incredibly confusing, and just about everything that might accidentally have been interesting happens OFF SCREEN. I LOVE bad movies. They're one of my favorite guilty pleasures. But this film is so BORING and so incompetent it can't even be enjoyed as a bad movie. Even the spiritual message, if that's what you're looking for, is barely present, and is so bogged down by the tediousness of the film at large that by the time you get to it, you won't care. NO ONE will enjoy this movie. I highly recommend you steer clear of it.
