Strong and Moving!

It is a performances centric movie

Fantastic!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

BOMB SQUAD is an indie superhero flick aimed at a young adult audience. It feels a little like X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, which was the obvious inspiration here. The story is about a group of kids battling evil, and it does have a fast-paced plot that helps you take your mind off all the usual problems associated with independent cinema. The limited CGI effects offer cheesy fun but this film needed more oomph to be a success.

I was surprised that this was a $12000 budget movie. The acting is good, the plot is fun. I enjoyed it.There are a lot of "B" movies. This is one of the better ones. The effects were very good for low-budget. I'd be happy to watch a sequel.The person who claimed reviewers are "stuffing the ballot box" should stop complaining.If you enjoy fun, well-plotted movies with believable characters you wouldn't mind knowing in real life, this is one of those movies.

So I watched this on Amazon Prime, I didn't know anything about it, including the budget.I thought the story could have used more tightening up. However, while I thought that the acting could use some work, particularly among the supporting adult cast, the main characters all seemed to be at least watchable(Not really good...but not bad).My biggest annoyance was the lack of realism on the part of the soldiers.If a secret government organization ( or the military) is after you, your cell phone would be tracked, and I wouldn't recommend driving the same car you normally do.Also, I'm not sure if I missed something, but if the military already knows where you live (and your mother) why would they ask the school for your address? Was the dad somehow wiping the information from them constantly? And if they already knew before(which isn't clear), then why wouldn't they have been monitoring(electronic devices etc), these 'potential threats'. Was the dad stopping it somehow? Just a few details that made me wonder.The special effects...while nothing mind blowing, I didn't really have much of a problem with.AFTER I looked it up, and found out the budget, I would say I am actually quite impressed with it. For just $12,000 it was outstanding.As another reviewer said, it was better than some kid show pilots.

I come from the era of the B movie, so I've seen a lot of low budget films, and even a lot of high budget films with bad actors or bad scripting, so I didn't really expect much from something made mostly under one person that appears to be in college.This movie blew my mind. The acting was up to par with a lot of Hollywood high budget movies. There were some lame parts, but if you've never noticed some top actors that make millions get away on looks and stereotype and can barely act either, so these actors were excellent (and actresses of course).The story line about grown kids visiting their father in prison and suddenly strange things start to happen (I won't go into any spoilers here) was riveting and well done enough to keep you going, like reading a book where you just had to turn the next page to see what was going to happen.The special effects may not have been Star Wars class but they were far beyond Battle Beyond the Stars or The Last Starfighter, both excellent for their time. The question isn't does Nick Chamberlin have a future in show business, it's which they grab him for first - director of music, film or special effects, or will he simply be the next Steven Spielberg.
