It doesn't have the big production feel but it delivers 100% on it's billed genre.No time is wasted in giving an action packed story to the audience.The Shaky cam is a bit off putting initially but it quickly ties in to the fast pace of the movie.The cast is small but talented as will be appreciated in the fight scenes.Overall it isn't very flashy at all but if you are a fan of shows like The Unit and 24, you will definitely enjoy the film.
When I first read the synopsis, I thought, "Are they serious?" So it sounds a tad far-fetched. So maybe more than a *tad. But overall, this was a decent action flick. The best ever? No. But better than many I've watched. It feels like a 24 type movie--when the school phone rang with the 24 scene-change ring-tone, I had to chuckle. This flick lacks Jack Bauer, but the characters are likable, and the actors did great with what they had to work with, though I've never heard of any of them. Many action actors can fight but they can't act. Not true with Matthew Reese. I haven't seen anything else he's been in, but he did a good job with his part. Jennifer Klekas was a hot damsel in distress and she kicked some a$$, too. Although the storyline could be improved to make it more believable, the lines worked with this story. But how many action flicks are all that believable anyway? If you like 24 or some of Jean-Claude's flicks or anything from the Die Hard franchise, you'll probably enjoy this movie. The action sequences were fast-paced and raw. Mostly hand-to-hand combat and not really any explosions. There was a blend of evasion, shooting, and mixed-martial arts. One realistic thing about this movie is the number of bad guys the hero took on simultaneously. It wasn't like a Chuck Norris film where guys stand in a circle holding their guns and only attack one at a time. A Navy Seal could have reasonably handled the amount of assailants that came at this guy. If you're looking for a deeper storyline or character development, keep looking. But enjoy this movie for what it is...a lone hero saves the day. Kudos to the cast and crew for putting together a decent flick on a presumably low(er) budget.
Having watched this film last night, it started off at a pace detailing the background, and character build of Michael, an ex Navy Seal, and what he had been through.Five years on from what happened in North Korea, his past comes back to haunt him, in a peculiar twist of events, which even now having watched the film, still cannot understand, how, and why.Not too bad a film, some good fighting sequences, but overall, plot, storyline, and acting are quite poor, although, as said, the fighting sequences are what make this film, but thats about it. So if you like martial arts, then this film maybe for you, but don't get your hopes up on a great ending. I was kind of deflated when I realized the film neared its end.
I am not going to delve into the story one bit here. Please look at the synopsis for that. After reading the synopsis, if you want to watch this movie then read on. This is one of the worst movies I have watched in recent times and let me tell you, I watch a lot. I have never given a user comment for a movie. I voted a few times for contributions and sometimes for the movie itself when I felt strong about the movie- either good or bad, but this one evoked so strong a response that I tracked down the IMDb page and sat down to write a warning. This is no review. Just refrain from watching the movie. Accepted that people are passionate when making movies, these people, the director, actors and all others remotely connected to this movie don't know what they are doing.
