I'll tell you why so serious
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
"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.
Fake story, glorifing americans against Serbs (who even were not in Sarajevo), actors of Serbs are Croats???,.. French gold was sent to Germany, Germans were not stupid. Bad acting. Stoped waching at 10th minute. Not waste your time
Could have been just another movie requested by US army, to promote itself. And it would be ok, if the movie would be done right, but something went wrong... So the plot you know, nazis stole gold, hid it somewhere and now good old marines will save the day. And more or less, plot is kind of OK. Used in many movies... but why not. So idea was given to army and they approved it... But...then director and other crew had a long celebration of their success... when all alcohol was finished and they got more or less sobered up (doubting last one), they realized... they have 2 hours before they have shoot the movie... And they forgot to write actual scenario... So in first 1.5 hour, they managed to write first 15 minutes of movie time, the rest was written in 30 min. You think that's a very silly thought? Well watch this movie and you may think that apparently I got some inside information about the movie. So many holes, so poor scenario and characters. And all the time you will ask your self - WHY?! You will remember what I've written above..... and at least this will explain you something. You are welcomed.
Terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible action scenes. Even JK Simmons couldn't save this turkey and he's one of my favorite actors. Stapleton is not good in this or anything else I've seen him in, his acting is wooden and not believeable.The actual storyline has some merit but the way it was bought to screen let it down entirely. Save yourself some time and don't watch this, it is truly awful and I feel cheated to have wasted my time on it.
