This was a great intense film. The fight scenes were chaotic, the set pieces were something else. It's an action movie lovers dream. Russell Crowe was the most Russell Crowe he could be for his role, "Reaper", the one controlling the air. I enjoyed the banter between him and Playboy, almost like a father looking out for his son.
One thing I really liked about the film was the focus on how important the military and people who protect us are. Also a huge focus on communication. It's not a 10/10 movie, that would make it perfect, and what doesn't make it that score is the fact that you REALLY gotta suspend disbelief to almost the point of laughing. But that really isn't a surprise as it is common in action movies.
While you won't walk away with your life changed by watching this movie, go in knowing you're in for one hell of a ride with killer sets, pretty decent acting, and a theme symbolizing the importance of our soldiers and how communication is integral to what they do.

The acting was pure garbage to begin with. Catia, the girl that needs to be rescued, is just really annoying. I think what's even more annoying is her horrible attempts at acting. I've seen better acting in a high school play.
I think a major issue here is that the movie doesn't know what it wants to be. It's kinda all over the place. If they just cut ONE aspect and put more focus into the other stories you would have something more cohesive. Nothing really has time to develop. And hey: Why is coach even training? Why is he paying a high school student money to train when he's a coach? You think oh maybe he's training to get revenge on his daughter's killers... but wait it's not that, Catia is kidnapped and it's her captors he wants. I dunno man the whole thing doesn't make sense.
This has no reason to be listed as an action thriller because Dermot only goes around breaking arms. There's no cool shootouts or real fights. Just "I don't like you so imma break your arm". Skip this. It's just a weird hodgepodge of every suspense movie you know but with truly terrible acting and no real payoff for having to endure it all.
