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 was so pathetic!! The acting was so terrible!! The only person who deserves just a bit of credit here is Conrad, and that's just a little. This movie was as awful as the acting of the detective and the pregnant wife's "girl friends". I would never advise anyone to watch this pathetic movie! It also contains an element of amateurism. It was really bad. I swear you picked the actors from a super market in some town! DO NOT WASTE YOUUR TIME! CANT BELIEVE I WASTED MINE. I DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE GOOD THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE! PATHETIC! As for the script... I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO BEGIN TO MENTION WHAT I THINK OF THE STORYLINE!!
"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.
Writers put many irrelevant things things in this movie to make it a torture. Unnecessary action. What was Conrad Miller doing in those motels and even if he had entered a wrong motel, why writers engaged him in freeing the slave girls & killing the human - traffickers plus arresting a cop too?. What was connection of these events with containing secret government information by Conrad Miller which he was alleged to have sold to Russians or other buyers? What was the need to involve an AWOL officer into Municipal Law things (Police / slave girls / human smugglers)? If Laura Wilder was a Russian agent and Conrad Miller, an American Agent and they were a married couple and both a spy of enemy countries? Then what a pathetic outcome of the movie was? Writer mixed many things up and viewer is far from getting near to it what was going in the movie.
I saw many Action movies, spy movies, army officers movies but this was the most terrible and unpleasant experience for me. Torture for a viewer. Waste of time & money. Pathetic plot, characters and events poorly connected with each other, result-less events in the movie & real thing- fate of an AWOL left almost unattended?
You really don't believe that movie has ended when it ends on screen. Pathtic & absurd.
