What makes it different from others?
People are voting emotionally.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View More"The Hunt for Eagle One" doesn't live up to its B-movie potential.The plot: Capt. Jennings' (Randle) plane gets shot down over enemy territory. She is then kidnapped by terrorists. Only Lt. Daniels' (Dacascos) team can save her from certain doom.That's it for plot. So if the synopsis is short, how about the war action? Unfortunately, it's not good. Don't forget this is a Roger Corman production which means: cheap! But they did the best they could with a low budget. It looks like "Black Hawk Down" but it's not. The only thing saving this are the performances. Dacascos, Randle, and Hauer all put in decent work. The last gunfight was satisfactory though.Overall, It's not worth watching unless you like the actors. The sequel is better.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
View MoreWell they must have spent the budget they had set aside for the technical adviser on all the pyro and squibs they blew off. A good war movie is FAR more than authentic uniforms, locations, equipment. Doesn't matter how good your replica looks if the acting, continuity, and technicalities are crap! The pilot, after the crash doesn't even attempt to check the many other troops injured in the crash, she goes right to the conscious one with a hurt leg - no blood to be seen... this is the crappiest triage I have ever seen - not at all real to what a true Marine would do in that situation. She also remains way too calm during the crash AND after the crash - this scene coupled with the lame beach attack scene alerted me that turning the movie off would be the best thing to do.This movie is a waste of time, a waste of a Hollywood budget, and a shame to army movies.
View MoreAs a former member of The Australian Army, I feel that this movie is one of the worst, if not the worst movie I have ever seen. My first thought in the opening scene, "A daylight opposed landing????? What the...." (in reality a small force would never land in the middle of a beach with inflatables, opposed or not).Then to add even more insult, the long flowing, unrestrained hair on a "U.S. Officer" complete with glossy lipstick, both chargeable offences, I wonder who the "advisor" was and having served alongside members of the Phillipino army the comments made were very offensive and not just to women. The storyline did have potential, but the lack of credibility and poor acting killed it in the first few minutes. I found this movie to be an insult to the intelligence of even the most naive movie-goer and I recommend that if you feel you must watch it, then do so at high speed, the "keystone cops" feeling thus created at least deserves a laugh. Lastly the synopsis on the back is truly misleading and to say that this is in the same league as such epic greats as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Behind Enemy Lines" is a direct insult to the cast and crew of these, and I for one am amazed that Sony even put there name to it, all that have watched this bile should commence a class action against all involved in the production.
View MoreBegin rant : don't waist your time. not even if it's in the bargen bin at ur local superstore for 1 pound. it's to expensive to use as a Frisbee and there are better ways to make coffee cup coasters. i honestly couldn't stand anymore, i watch for one hour. and that was one hour wasted. i couldn't take anymore. End rant /The acting was OK , i feel most of the poor screen work was due to director / producer's input. i can't see any research , or specialist advice used in the film in regards to mission operation procedures and gun handeling. this is the first ever movie i have rated as 1 out of 10 . and it deserves every single point.
