    Flat-ass action garbage!!!

    Who came up with this horrible movie anyway?! Everything in this movie is trash and inferior!!! The action, story and dialogues are garbage!!!! Are there no more good filmmakers to make good movie than this?!!!!!
    Kirpianuscus

    delightful

    I do not like the action movies. So, this film was just delightful. For high predactibility, for bad dialogues, worst than the uniforms and guns, for the long chain of cliches , for Bruce and for the not inspired end.

    It is just unfair to define it as a bad film. The target is clear, good intentions obvious and the scenes of fight, some drops of politics just expected.

    So, easy story, a sort of acting, ambiguity and unrealism in large slices and the final known from the first scenes.

    Comedically bad

    Bad guy: "We have them surrounded" Soldier: "Sir, we are completely surrounded" Cutter narrating: "We were completely surrounded"

    And using the same scene where someone is shooting, not twice, but six times in 30 seconds.

    That is the kind of quality you can expect in the first few minutes of this movie alone.

    Add a bunch of old stock footage of war scenes and fighter jets and you have a good view of the movie.

    I was looking at it, asking myself if this was meant to be serious. Seems I am not alone in this. Would be great if this is some student project or something close to Hot Shots. I cant imagine it being anything else than an action comedy.

    Want a good laugh, give it a try.

    It's not satire, it's just THAT bad.

    Assuming you don't expect any sort of reasonable, cohesive, remotely plausible plot, and have no expectation of either an Army Ranger or a Seal team being remotely competent, and have a deep appreciation of wooden acting, well then... This is the movie for you. Otherwise, it's laughbly bad.

    Destroy they did (it)

    Not sure you have much to search for here. And it is a shame. Everyone involved seems like good people (there is some behind the scenes stuff at the end of the movie, during the credits) ... but I can't in good conscience say or rate this really high. And I usually am really someone who cuts movies slack ... but again I just can't in this case.

    It was dreadful to watch - and while there have been worse production values in other movies ... this does not make the watching experience any better. If you can laugh all the way through it, as someone else obviously did and had a "good time" therefor ... well go for it. But it is likely you won't like what you see here.

      'Three years' after the opening battle, the American General comes to the lieutenant to ask him to come back for one more mission. The uniform the General is wearing is nowhere near American made. It's wearing Russian or Bulgarian buttons, rank, and insignia.
