For God's Sake !! Another above average movie about terrorists, where is the creativity of movie makers? I even don't know why I lose my time watching this movie. In fact, I didn't watch it all, but what I see was enough... The movie is absolutely predictable, the good guy has some problems, but at the end he (presumably, i did not see) overcomes all of of them. It is an action movie, with the typical more of the same approach. Perhaps the best quality of the movie is that it is short, the suffering is not so prolonged. So here am I losing more time with it. Simply said, this movie belongs to the category "avoid like the plague"
This movie is so garbage it's not worth a real review, don't waste your time. I saw RZA and my heart dropped. Saw the movie and was exactly what I expected, despite hoping for the best. To RZA- stay with the beats, or movies that take place solely in the Bronx, since he can't even lose his SUPER ghetto accent when being paid. This was ALMOST as bad as a blind martial arts master with a Bronx accent from feudal Japan. STOP MAKING MOVIES RZA! I can't even think of a single good thing to say about the movie, even though I need to fill 10 lines of text to post this freaking review. I can see why one hadn't been made yet, I feel as though it would have been better spent doing anything, up to and including inpatient surgery.
"This will all be over with soon." Conrad Miller (Goss) is a marine in possession of classified government information. When he leaves his post to investigate what he has many people are upset. Now, he is not only trying to evade the CIA, but the LAPD, a Russian agent and an assassin who not only want the information for themselves, but him dead as well. I thought this was actually better than I was expecting it to be. Most of these action B-movies are identical and formulaic. While I can't say this one wasn't I will say it was entertaining enough to keep me watching. Luke Goss is a good choice for this genre of action but even he can't make a movie like this better than it really is. The movie itself is entertaining and I have seen much worse, but its really nothing amazing or anything to rush out and see. Overall, entertaining enough but really is the kind of movie to just put in and veg out to without having to really think. I give this a B-.
Another good film by Christian Sesma. Although I liked the film and the conspiracy against Miller. There was one thing wrong, if he really was AWOL they don't send out local police or allow a Russian politian to go searching. So in my opinion it was a conspiracy against Miller for whatever secrets he stole. He also had a stream if bad luck along the way. He was more then just a Marine.
I watched this today. I liked it, Luke Goss is a great actor, he has that Clint Eastwood look and vibe to him. The action and martial arts shots were great. The movie carried along, i like this movie and I would recommend it. The supporting actors were good too. The soundtrack is good too. The song is called "Stop Playing" by KC Bandz. I am not always a commercial blockbuster type of person when it comes to movies, shows, and music. I think this Soundtrack and Movie is a hidden gem. I've added this song to my playlist from finding it through this movie. I like Blockbusters as well as Independent and non commercial films and music.
