| By Terri The only reason I am bothering to write a review for this stink-fest of a movie is to warn viewers to stay away! Believe me, it was an hour and a half of my life that I can never get back. Honestly, this movie is so bad that they should have to pay people to watch it. Luckily it was a free rental for me so at least I can't say I wasted my hard earned mulah. Daniel plays a too cheerful CIA agent that gathers a group of his old Special Forces buddies to rescue a kidnapped Russian scientist and retrieve a missing nuclear missle. The mission is unsanctioned by his bosses at the CIA though his direct boss manages to give him a blank requisition slip to get whatever money and supplies he needs. Once he's gathered two of his old friends as well as the tag along younger brother of one of them they head to Russia to infiltrate the prison where the scientist is being held. They manage to rescue the scientist (some chick who Daniel makes out with) and eventually they find the wayward missle, yada, yada, yada. OK, here's what made this movie so bad: The quality of this film was so poor that it looked and sounded like the voices were dubbed. Yes, dubbed! Sometimes the sound didn't match with the movement of the actors lips, therefore it looked dubbed in spots. The scenes were also too short, too choppy and the editing was terrible. There were also times when the quality of the film made the movie look as if it was shot 30 years ago. What did they film this on, a 4 track? It also looked as if they filmed this movie in Russia, which just goes to show you that for mere rubles a day anyone can make a movie over there! The acting was also atrocious. What on earth possessed Daniel to think that he should portray a former Special Forces soldier and current CIA operative in such a cheerful manner? Not that I don't love seeing those pearly whites of his but all of that smiling was just inappropriate for the character and the situations in the film. And after all of that, if you still think you should see this movie don't blame me. I warned you! |
