Sirona

I went to see the movie without any big expectations. What a complete waste of time and money. Not worth the paper the posters were printed on.

Subpar on every level.

The "actors" involved had worse emotional performance then the wooden dolls in Team America. Reading the lines and then acting on what was being said. No chemistry within any of the cast.

Action sequences were laughable and terrible at the same time.

Film students can make a better impression with camera work than anyone who shot this. Plot was barely there, filled with cliches after cliches.

Only way I can describe the high rating of this movie is that the people involved rated it.

Weaving backstory and character development into a plot, and doing it well, is a skill that needs to be honed. Wesley Clark needs to stop grinding with the rough stuff and find a finer stone to hone the dull blade that wrote this screenplay into something sharp and incisive. As is, the movie drags in many places where it should simply shine. The plot has plenty of potential to make a great movie, but the long, in-depth pshrinkological (sic) dialog is just a little too... blah. I'd love to see a sequel, but I have to wonder if the mediocrity of this one killed any chance it had at becoming what it should be.

I didn't know it was an indie film, so it's pretty good for not having a Hollywood budget.

I REALLY liked that despite nearly constant conflict, it wasn't rife with constant profanity, like most Hollywood films are these days.

One should be able to just watch a film, and the story unfold, without the distraction of nearly constant profanity. In that sense, those that worked on this film, are far more mature than most Hollywood script writers. Call me old school, which I am.

Anyway, my favorite character was Tuck, because of his witty comments, and empathetic nature, which seem to be a nod to Murdock, of The A Team. Well, I saw a similarity anyway.

I think the actors & actresses did a good job, of showing the character traits of each person.

I hope there's a sequel.

Somewhere there is one of those laboratories that does not exist and is messing around with peoples DNA. They call it Valkyrie. Throughout the movie there is a discussion of the meaning of this name.

One day a subject and her brother make a brake for it. It was not without a few casualties. So, it is time to re acquire the subjects. This is where the movie really begins as we are introduced to the team that is sent to retrieve the girl or whatever known as Sirona.

We get to go along for the ride and we see the trials ad tribulations of the hunt. We are confronted with morality and amorality. There are lots of guns and shooting. Usually, four to one. We learn about a protein called bacon.

The acting is O. K. for this sort of a cross between Sci-fi and sort of a Hallmark presentation. Nothing too spectacular but a cliff hanger ending. So, if you do not see a sequel or series by the time, you read this you might think twice about watching it.

I think I will watch again now that I know what clues to look for.

At the time of this review the sequel has been written and is currently being reviewed. I was thinking mor in the line of a series.

You have to go into this knowing it might be a concept you've heard before, but he did really well making it his own. For this film to be one of his firsts I was extremely impressed. I thought it would be on and I'd be on my phone but nope. I was sucked in! Tuck was actually my favorite character, I love a good comedic relief! I caught myself laughing out loud multiple times by his character. I loved the twist and it kept me engaged through the whole thing. I was bummed when it ended because i wanted to see more! I'd love to see more from him and would love to see a sequel to this one! A great watch, I'd recommend!
