MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

siderite For an action movie I rate this as 8. I rarely touch 9 or 10, but this came close to 9. Someone mentioned the "action purity" of the film. He was right, no useless background stories, not much of a dialog and no cry-for-me ending. A lot of action, Counter-Strike like, with good overall strategy (except for the bad guys, but when did the bad guys ever had good strategy? :) ).There were some bad parts in this movie: First of all the only "celebrity" actor here is the guy from Taxi, Samy Naceri, and his role is rather small, even if performed well.Then there is the stupid mass attack of the bad guys, who somehow managed to get a whole army with weapons and unlimited ammo in France, then they decided to kill most of it.Third and last is the "badness" of the bad guy, who was brought to justice (oh, the cliché) because he raped hundreds of women. Somehow, rape became more atrocious than brutal beatings, then more terrifying than murder and soon it will probably become more evil than terrorism. Come on! Conclusion: a good, fast-paced, adrenaline-rush French flick, worth watching.

snake77 The Nest has a lot of things going for it. An interesting premise, pretty good acting, intense action, and some really above average cinematography and direction. However I found that I just couldn't get as engaged as I really wanted to in this movie. I think part of the problem was the dialogue, which tended to be a bit comic-bookish. Also the characters, while not totally one-dimensional, don't really add up to anyone you like enough to seriously root for. And I think in a siege movie that's an important element - you have to want the people who are holding out to make it. I wasn't invested enough in any of the characters to care whether they came through the other side. But watching this film isn't a total waste of time either - some of the scenes are really amazingly well done, almost poetic. A mixed bag, but tons of eye candy for true action fans.

BroadswordCallinDannyBoy A fairly unoriginal movie, but terrifically entertaining for action fans. Others steer clear.The story kicks off with three groups meeting in the same tight spot: a huge warehouse. One group is a band of crooks. Second we have a group of commandos who where transporting a wanted terrorist and they just took a beating from his henchmen, who are the third group and they are relentlessly trying to get their boss back. The crooks team up with the commandos to save their hides from the terrorists. Hong Kong style action and fireworks ensue.In a nice step the action and violence grows increasingly over the top. Starting with typical action film shoot-out and finally barreling towards utter chaos and inhumanity and, in the end, the bad guys are portrayed almost as gun totting demons rather than humans. They are vile, robotic, and bestial. Especially the terrorist leader who has some nasty fingernails. That is pretty ridiculous, but from an action movie point of view it is quite stylish and even refreshing for a change. Also it makes a statement about the sense of all the violence. 7/10Rated R: plenty of violence, and profanity (in French, nonetheless)

HarryKrishna Way too many people like to pick apart a movie thinking they are a movie critic. Makes you wonder if they ever take the time to WATCH the movie, let alone try to enjoy it!For me, this movie was intense! I liked the acting, though some of the crooks were a bit overboard, but what the heck would you do if you were there? Act calm? And some scenes were just plain jaw dropping for me. And the mercenaries always shown wearing the night vision masks are frightfully reminiscent of the pig masked killers in the old classic American Werewolf in London! It sure got to me!!!!The best ways I could sum up this movie is:1) I watched it TWICE when I rented it2) I am going to buy this ASAP!!!!!! If you like a movie, show your support by buying it!!!! That is the BEST way to vote.
