Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

sol **SPOILERS** Bargain basement version of the classic count down to Armageddon thriller "Twilight's Last Gleaming" has a bunch of disgruntled former US servicemen take over this secret missile silo and threaten, after launching one of them that exploded harmlessly in the Navada Desert, to nuke Washington D.C unless their demands are met. Lead by former top black/ops commando Kraft,Joe Lara,the renegade GI's give the government just 12 hours to come up with 1 billion dollars, depositing it into Krafts secret numbered Swiss bank account, and safe passage to a country to be named later.At the beginning of "Warhead" were given a history lesson on the militia and white separatist movement in the US with film clips of the Oklahoma City Bombing and skinheads and KKK members marching and kicking a** on the streets of a number of US towns and and cities. But in the movie they, the skinheads and KKK as well as white separatists, have nothing at all to do with the story. We soon see that Kraft is, in his mind, a super patriot and even, dispelling his racism, has a number of African/American former GI's in his gang of insurgents.The crusading Senator Brickman, Frank Natano, who's campaigning to put an end to "Kraft's Commandos" is seen at the beginning of the movie literally thrown out of office when his TV, as Brickman turns the sound down, blows up sending him out his high-rise office window to his death. That's the first of many really cool and explosive scenes that is about the only reason for watching "Warhead" with the story and the acting that goes along with it just too off-the-wall to take seriously even for a moment.After screwing up at taking out Kraft and his boys at their secret training camp somewhere in Idaho US Army special operation honcho Jack Tanner, Frank Zagarino, who's held responsible for that fiasco is put on hold or behind a desk by his boss Gen. Edwards, Brian O'Shaunessy. Tanner later gets back into action screwing himself and his commandos by being ambushed by Kraft's men in, of all places, sunny and out of the way Hiati with only Tanner surviving the massacre!Having had all the excitement, as well as lumps on his head, that he can handle Tanner decides to take a sabbatical only to run into, or is it that she ran into him, pretty MIT graduate who also has a doctorate in electronics Jessica Evens, Liz Giordano. It turns out that Liz's dad just happens to be US government computer whiz Dr. Evens, Michael McCabe, who's being held hostage by Kraft, or so she thought. Dr. Evens is the only person who can, by knowing the secret code, launch the nuclear missiles in the silo that Kraft and his boys had earlier captured from the US Army.Realizing that his country, if not the entire world, is in mortal danger Tanner gets the go ahead from his boss Gen. Edwards in order to take out Kraft and his missile's and again, which seems to be S.O.P for him, almost screws everything up. Not because of his incompetence but that he and his country are being sabotaged from within by not only the top presidential adviser Tim Lansdale, Todd Jensen, who's just doing it for the money, but also by Dr. Evens himself, who was thought at first to be Kraft's hostage. Dr. Evens also believes in the same garbage that Kraft does in that the only way America can be saved from the mess it finds itself in is by first nuking itself!Slam bang ending with Tanner and his men storming the silo as Jessica tries to keep her crazy father from launching the missile that's to take out D.C. Dr. Evens ends being gunned down by Kraft, as he tried to shield his daughter from being shot and killed, who then has it out with Tanner inside the silo as the missile is being launched.Outlandish finish with Kraft being put to sleep, permanently, by Tanner who escaped by the skin of his teeth from the now sealed silo that explodes in a thermo-nuclear blast with him Jessica and every one else on his rescue team safe and sound! You would think that an explosion of that size, a 20 megaton nuclear device, would have flattened and wiped out everything within ten to fifteen miles from the impact site! Instead we see Tanner Jessica & Co. walk away without a scratch or as much a care in the world? Just think of the amount of deadly radiation, not counting the fire and brimstone, an explosion like that would emit! Yet nothing happened to Tanner & Co. who were only within a few yards of the blast!

Frank Markland Frank Zagarino stars as a marine who must save the world from a terrorist who is looking to use a nuclear weapon on the US and being that Zagarino is the only man who can stop him and...ZZZZZZZ Frank Zagarino and Joe Lara are what happens when a movie wants Dolph Lundgren and Lorenzo Lamas (I must admit Lorenzo Lamas as a white supremacist leader would have been hilarious) but can't afford to do so, they just grab two lookalikes that have less acting ability but the same muscles and voilà you have Warhead. Warhead is a lame movie because it doesn't know how to milk suspense in anything, from it's first shootout until the would be heroic disarming that may or may not save the day, there is no suspense in any of it. Also Warhead for some reason is fairly well budgeted for what it is, so i'm not sure what exactly what they did wrong but all blame falls into the director's hand since he can't competently stage action or suspense. So an action movie without either suspense or excitement, is a movie well worth avoiding.* out of 4-(Bad)

Tom van Breukelen I've seen the film last night on German TV and I must say that I liked it. Sure it contains plot holes, where you could drive a tank through (like the silly hacker war), but in general it is great evening entertainment. Fast and action packed, it is like a rollercoaster drive that keeps you glued to the screen every minute. So all I can say is, grab a couple of beers, don't worry about the plot and acting; and just enjoy it.

j0k3r This film was absolutely awful. Being a programmer and a computer man, the thing that bothered me the most was the so-called access codes for the ICBM missle launch. I wish it were as easy as 'DESTINATION WASHINGTON' and 'DEACTIVATE WARHEAD'. I also liked how when Jessica (who's hair never was messed up in all the action) was greeted by a giant 'HELLO JESSICA' when she logged in.Here they all are sitting around the table in the Pentagon listening to the threatening messages from the terrorists and our hero decides to go in. They have 12 hours to comply. Yet, our hero, manages to assemble a team, equipment, transportation, and make it to the carribean in under 2 hours. I must admit that is quite a remarkable.The fight scenes were awful. I don't know what kind of martial arts experts they hired to correograph this thing, oh wait, they didn't hire any. The fight scenes were slow and predictable. Half the time the gun shots were a half a second before or after the flare from the gun, as well as the re-coil from the actors.This movie was terrible. I don't know why any of these people acted in this movie. Having done a bit of acting myself, I don't know how anyone could have read that script and been excited about it. I guess looking at the actors filmographies, we can see why they would have taken it.I give it a 2 of 10
