    i dare u to watch this till the end

    Hmm, i do rather watch Power Rangers or Ultraman as action movie than this anytime.

    I don't understand why this is like a film produced by amateurs and even worse. There is way too MUCH unnecessary effects used. Slow-motion here, then flash flash there, slow-mo again, and most of the time, it's better without any effect. It feels like someone is getting really hyped about effects and applying it everywhere like a first timer get excited with a new toy.

    Then, SAS? Seriously? ONE thing is surely missing in the opening of this film, and it's this line "This is for entertainment purpose only. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental." A real disgrace to the elite soldier community and in this movie, it just seems like gang fights, rather than SAS vs Terrorists.

    It's really that bad that i forced myself to write this.

    Take Truth, This Dare's Not Worth It.

    Quite possibly the most inept and ridiculous depiction of the SAS ever committed to fiction. These lads look like they've never staged any operation in the field before. For elite experts, they come across as unwary and amateur. The story could have been marginally interesting, but there are far too many nonsensical actions take by the kidnappers.

    What makes this film truly unwatchable, though, is the style! It looks like someone is trying to make a hip music video with unwarranted flashes of light, superimpositions, and jarring effects. Far from capturing a sense of anything (is there any sense to be captured?) this approach simply ends up with us detached from the action and feeling as though it's all being trivialized.

    Do. Not. Watch.

    Where did you find this film?

    This was the first film I was in and would like to see it but cannot find it anywhere. How has anyone been able to watch this?

    82 minutes of my life I will never get back!

    I've seen some bad films in my life and this ranks up there with the worst of them.

    The lead villain over acted so much, he was almost good, he probably has potential if he had a better film to act in.

    I was a bit confused at first that I was watching some sort of GCSE media studies project, if that was the case, I might have given it a C...... But it wasn't, I'm really angry with myself for watching this the whole way through, should have gone with with gut instinct and quit after 30 secs.

    Nonsense story, plot holes all over the place, extremely am dram acting, massive thumbs down. Half a star!

    why movies like this leaves the audience craving for peace of mind.

    So many movies just thrive on mass killing and lack of discretionary use of language to click with the norm of the times. He Who Dares happens to be no different.

    To me it did not appeal from the word go. And here are the reasons.

    Even a 10 year who has played Call of Duty or Battlefied series of games can tell you that you do aim down the sight and not fire from the hip. Wish the actors were told that.

    Secondly now a days there is this new blood thirst in many low budget movies where the villain or the bad guy is glorified by mass murdering in order to achieve his goal. And when all the revenge is built psychologically speaking the valiant hero or one of the survivor in this case, kills the supposedly bad guy with one bullet, leaving the unsatisfied lust in the mind of audience that was generated by the storyline where the bad guy was the angel of death. Seriously ??

    The movie is pure waste of time and resources.
