Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View More"Can you imagine what that gold could do to help my people? Will you help me get it?"There are films you can compare with a richly filled five-course dinner. First they spoil you with a tasty opener. After which a well-filled middle piece is offered. And then as an enjoyment afterwards, you're offered a delicious dessert. Satisfied you'll leave the establishment and you'll remember this treat with great pleasure. Other films are like a cozy family picnic. It's relaxed and pleasant. No extensive preparations are necessary. And when you look back on it, you think of the cosiness and life values. "Renegades" is like the McDonald's. You are served very quickly. You're eating it as quickly as possible (it's fast food, remember). And before you know it you've already forgotten what you have eaten and hungry again.There's also something positive to say about this film. The short performance of J.K. Simmons, acting in the same way as when he scolded his students as a music teacher in "Whiplash", is magnificent. And the underwater footage in the second half of the film, looks beautiful. And finally, the Bosnian girl (in real life the Dutch actress Sylvia Hoeks) is a pleasure to watch. If I had to choose between her and a nice dish filled with cevapcici, I knew what I would take. Quite obvious that she can convince a group of American Navy Seals to dive for a Nazi treasure in a lake in Bosnia. Or was it the gold bar that did it?Although this film is of the same level as that of an average television film, it's entertaining enough full of action-packed scenes and with a feel-good ending. The fragment with the tank is pure enjoyment. It looked like a modern episode of "The A-Team" with MacGyver in it for some assistance. I'm sure nobody would even know this movie if they had left out the well-known actors. But at least it would have been a little less expensive and the turnover would have been more positive. If you have a package of popcorn laying around and a little time to kill, this film is definitely worth it. But just like with the MacDonald menu, the next day you can't even remember what it was about anyway.
View MoreIt is absolutely shocking that this movie came out in today's market,real american-style heroes: kill evebody for money, steal whatever they want, and say "it's for country". scum-movie. If you are just looking for an entertaining film, this is a major disappointment, to say the least.Don't waste your time or your money on this movie.This has to be one of the worst movies of the year!!!
View MoreA team of Navy SEALs discover an underwater treasure in a Bosnian lake. Renegades was destroyed from critics and i have to be honest this film wasn't as bad as i heard, first of all J.K Simmons was great and freaking hilarious and all his scenes were freaking awesome. Sylvia Hoeks was also great not as good as she was in Blade Runner 2049 but still a good overall perfomance and the rest of the cast also does a great job as well. As far as flaws go? the main villain was forgettable and in certain scenes it drags a bit but still not the garbage fire i was expecting. (7/10)
View MoreThis movie started off well then deteriorated quite quickly. Apart from the goofs mentioned in the goofs section, two Navy Seals kicking the arses of about 4 SAS men? Really!! If you can turn off your brain and watch with your mouth open then its ok.
