Very well executed
Nice effects though.
it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreI am watching this crap of film on TV and can not believe that some American film company can make this kind of film.Bad scenes of action,film with name "Air strike" without ANY real action war scene with helies?Even uniforms doesn't look like American!!Action is placed in imagined country name Petrovia?!What???Same animated scenes of helicopters in battle repeated several times...This film is insult for intelligence of average person.I really would like to see the budget for this film and how much money did it earned.I am still so shocked that I caught myself in serious thinking to contact the director or writer of screenplay,or even company which made this film with kindliest ask:Don't make this rubbish anymore!!!!Please!!!
View MoreThis is one of the cheesiest movies i have ever seen. They takes lines through out the movie from great movies like Top Gun, Comanche, and Fire Birds. The flight scenes are the worst I have ever seen in a movie looking like they used R/C Helicopters to do most of the stunts. How much did it take to make this movie? Couldn't have been much. As far as the ground stunts and explosions looks to much like computer generated. The actors did an OK job for who they are. If movie where to be remade i would spend a lot more money. Also it shows in the movie that the military was not consulted very much or they probably would not have signed off. Just goes to show that anybody with a little bit of money can try to make a movie although not a very good one
View MoreSome films are good, some are so bad they are funny, then there is this film. There is a circle of hell reserved just for producers of this type of formulaic, hammy-acted, badly scripted and badly filmed detritus.In no particular order, my favourite moments were:* Garret picking up two AK47s and then walking slowly, shooting from the hip with both weapons and wiping out scores of enemies who are all camouflaged and taking cover. * The guy who, when a building explodes somewhere near him, appears to jump pointlessly out of his watchtower, crying out. I don't know why he was wearing camouflage paint on his face when he was in a watchtower, maybe it was to hide the fact that it was Christiano Ronaldo brought in specially for the theatrical dive. * The stock footage of helicopters firing missiles used repeatedly, just different helicopters from the ones they showed taking off.* Garret shooting someone and saying "suck on this". Really?* Garret and Charlie engaging in phone sex over the radio ("I've got wood") while a team of Rangers is trying to extract him from a hot zone.My biggest complaints, though, are reserved for IMDb. Why has the site allowed people to rate it more than 1? The average rating of 2.5 is far, far too high. In fact, why does IMDb have a minimum rating of 1 star? To give this 1 star is like polishing a turd.
View MoreThe movie is utterly predictable. The story is black and white, good guys vs. bad guys, no in between. ALL the cliches have been used in this movie, cheesy lines and all...It's like they took some of the best lines of good classic american action movies, and made the actors recite them, one after the other... I mean, there's a scene where they're in the middle of enemy fire, and yet they stop to deliver an exchange of like 4-5 lines that completely useless to the story line, but i guess some writer thought it was "cool".I'm surprised they didn't include the lines "I'll be back" or "Yippi-ka-yeah!", they put all the others...and of course, all the storyline cliches were there... The woman that shows up in a squadron of men, they make fun because she's a woman, she proves herself to be just as worthy, one of the guys falls in love with her. And at the end, she even goes to rescue the guy and messes up and so our hero has to rescue her back... UGH!!and not to forget the shot of the chopper flying home with the bright red sunset behind it and the fuel smoldering in the sun...then the chopper returns home and they are greeted by all their army buddies, just like in Top Gun...but then, they start chanting "USA! USA!" what was that????? i mean, even in the best, most patriotic movies they don't do that, especially since this wasn't even a WAR where the USA won against another country... They went to bust a drug lord's cartel!!! How is that a victory for the USA???? and who goes around chanting "USA! USA!", rather than hugging and shaking hands with your friends that have just come back from a dangerous mission!!!
