Reviews
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Sean Rodgers Ha Ha Ha Ha.I have seen some really bad films in my time but this falls directly into the "who funds this junk" category.I was very pleased with myself as I managed to sit through 28 minutes of it before I cracked and started fast forwarding looking for any potentially good bits. I was bitterly disappointed. The computer graphics appeared to have been done on a BlackBerry. Actually that's unfair, I love my BlackBerry. The acting was poor, the direction was worse. The "locals" dancing in one scene didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing. Nobody knew how to hold or fire a rifle and the non combatant killed more people than anyone else. I don't actually need to say more about this film as nothing about it is any good. Its proper rubbish, and not even in a good way. Do not waste your money. A real "must miss".
TWerewolf I tried to watch this movie in a military camp during an overseas mission, and let me tell you, you'll watch anything under those circumstances. Not this piece of sh*t though.The first five minutes set the tone by weak porn-movie quality acting, weird out-of-the-blue plot twists and unbelievable situations and behavior. It gets worse after that. This movie does not have one single saving grace, and yet it is not bad in a way that would make it funny to watch. It's just horrible. I've seen quite many movies in my life and I'm not one of those snobby know-all critics, I mean I'll enjoy most movies to some extent even if they're bad. This one... man.Steer _well_ clear of this one, my friend.
bonlesslizard Rape with a pistol. Glass slicing open a jugular vein. Exploding death by missile from 60 feet away. Obnoxious reporter. Tortured hero. Vile bad guy. Ambivalent two-toned guy who dies at the end of act one. Fire fire fire. An American military officer with a dark sense of humor (Fred Dryer) -- "The guy was five foot four in reality. Tough ba****d," Fred says at one point. Imagine this from a guy a six seven. He sold the admiration though. Where was I... Faces from a John Ford movie in the Red Cross camp. A kid so dirty the lice jump off the screen. An amazingly good performance from the son of the two-toned leader. A little cheese around the edges. Not enough extras. Not enough wide shots. But plenty of blood flying. Bizarre choppers. Cool locations. ******
mbdwriter Afghanistan is thousands of miles from anything in our world and yet becauseof 9/11 has acheived a central status that this movie trains its sight on. The two Americans would seem to be there for entirely different reasons andyet there is a chilling sense that both are there to escape personal tragedy or the sense that being alive when others are dying is patently unfair. The movie's two lead actors are up to the task of making us pay atention and there is anaching sense that only in this ridiculously violent world could they possibly find each other and in the end save each other. Although there is no real explanation for why Afghanistan has to suffer so much death and destruction, this movie at least gives us the sense that there are real people there who deserve a chance for something better. Although there isplenty of violence and action, it always seemd justified. Worth a viewing.
