Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe
Before Sam Axe teamed up with Michael and Fiona, he was Commander Axe, U.S. Navy SEAL. The Fall of Sam Axe tells the story of how Sam went from respected Naval Commander to the man of mystery we've come to know on Burn Notice. On what will turn out to be Sam's last military mission, he is sent to the jungles of Colombia to investigate claims of a vicious terrorist organization known only as the "Espada Ardiente" (Flaming Sword). His mission: to determine whether U.S. military aid is necessary to deal with the threat. But when he arrives, things are more complicated than he'd imagined. He receives word that the rebels have targeted a small civilian clinic deep in the jungle. Sam must now save the clinic's doctors and patients from certain death. However, nothing is as it seems and the Espada Ardiente may not be the biggest threat Sam Axe faces.

Reviews
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Blistering performances.

When I saw the promo for Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe I thought I would check it out.Being that Burn Notice is one of my favorite shows I thought it would be worth the watch. Lucky I didn't fee disappointed. The film feels like a prequel to Burn Notice and having a story from Sam's point of view.It also gives us a look into what Sam's life was like before the events of Burn Notice. Along with the fact they actually took their time in this TV movieThe acting in the film matches that of the TV series and it works very well and Bruce does a good job and shows why he was picked to play Sam Axe. The music in the film is good and the story is strong enough to hold your attention.Overall Burn Notice: The Fall Of Sam Axe is a good prequel to Burn Notice and fill you in on the history of Sam Axe.I give Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe an 8 out of 10
Living in Tokyo, I'm sometimes late to the party when it comes to US TV shows. In this case, I had heard so much about this movie, I purchased it without much concern.Within the first five minutes, I already had doubts. The sets and wardrobe were cheesy. The script was horrible, and the acting even worse. Oh no!Hoping to find some redeeming value that would help me swallow the fact that I had paid real money to watch this "movie," I struggled mightily just to make it to the end of the story.At the end, I was simply glad it was over. Truth be told, the blu-ray disc extras were more entertaining than the main feature. The pseudo documentary on the making of the film offers more suspense and better acting than the film itself. Even the editing is more interesting.I might watch the extras again, but probably not the feature.In conclusion, if you love Bruce Campbell's character in Burn Notice, you may want to watch this once, simply to learn how Sam ended up where he did.Otherwise, save yourself time, money, and regret: skip it.
OK, as a big Burn Notice fan I looked forward to seeing this TV movie. And, in truth, I did enjoy the whole two hours. It was the same great character Bruce Campbell plays on BN. For that it is worth the time. BUT! As a career US Navy man I feel the producers were disingenuous to the viewers with their lack of almost any idea on navy customs or uniforms. Surely, if being a Seal is so important to the plot and the inquiry the basic setting, then someone should have spent a few minutes with attention to details like proper uniforms. Rank insignia, mismatched uniforms and even uniforms not in existence at the time could be kind of overlooked. But when the officer, whatever his rank, referred to Sam as "soldier," I had to write. Not even in your wildest dreams would THAT have happened. Boys and girls, come on, this is not deep research we are talking about here. Nobody asked me, but...
I really wanted to like this movie. I am a big Burn Notice fan, and like the Sam Axe character. But other than the basic uniform colors being white and khaki, little else showed anyone connected with the project had ever met anyone in the Navy. I got the bit that he was supposed to stand out in the jungle, which is why his superiors gave him blue urban cammies ( on a covert op, but with his name on his cammies ), and while usually Seals go in as a team, Sam went in alone. Sam was supposed to be a Navy Seal, but wore a Surface Warfare Officer device. His white hat did not have the scrambled eggs a full Commander would be wearing. The khaki uniforms of his interrogators had no rank insignia.The story wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. It would have been a passable two-part episode, but it left a lot of room for improvement.
