Watch Target For Free

An Exercise In Nonsense

Admirable film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

If this film were to be rated on a scale of 1 to 10, one would need to create a new rating system, as this one should not even qualify. The film's plot, (if you can call it that) revolves around Charlie (Stephen Baldwin), an ex- special operatives agent who is being targeted by the brother of a man he killed while he was still working for the US gov't. If this sounds like an interesting scenario, please don't be fooled, as this film will not deliver that which its action-themed story suggests.Comedian Chris Rock once said that when one sees an actor doing a bad film that it makes one want to send the actor $50, given that the actor must be desperate for money to be doing such poor quality work. After watching this film, you may want to send Stephen Baldwin $100. It appears that Baldwin did not put any effort into his role in the film. In the film, Baldwin is forced to run all over the city of Los Angeles in order to protect his "honeycomb" (wife) from being murdered by the brother of a man he previously killed. However, throughout the picture it appears that Baldwin can barely pull off maintaining a light jog. His laid back performance succeeds in subtracting from any suspense that the film might have intended to portray. If you are the type of person who enjoys watching very bad films and laughing at their shortcomings, than this film is for you. However, if you are looking for a well made action thriller, it would be best to look somewhere else rather than renting this film.

I hate to be too critical, but this one really was bad. I like the Baldwin brothers, I just wish there was more talent evenly spread between them. I did like the general plot, but there was just too much 'trying' and not enough actual 'doing' as far as quality acting was concerned. My favorite character out of the whole thing was bald cop. He reminded me of Dmitri Valtane ( Jeremy Roberts, I believe ) from Start Trek 6: Undiscovered country. Just, without the hair.If you have Hollywood Video's MVP program and are really trying to get your money's worth, then through this in with one of the three MVP movies you pick up. It's worth it for a few laughs.The single most impressive special effect in the whole show is the sound of Stephen Baldwin's rifle firing. I suppose that lets you in a bit on the quality and excitement of the rest of the show.

Middle-of-the-road TV movie about what can happen when foreign mercenaries come to the U.S. to revenge against a U.S. Army sniper who has killed one of their own. This is a low budget but nicely acted straight-to-video flick with Stephen Baldwin as the likable protagonist. James Russo is an interesting retired Army sniper, and Baldwin's wife and kids are good. Don't expect a lot of action, and the R-rating may not be warranted, but the storyline is thought-provoking because it could actually happen to many American soldiers. If you're completely opposed to any American military presence overseas, you probably won't like this film.

This film follows the standard crappy movie formula. Remote desert, abandoned buildings, a park, some headsets, some guns, 1 decent actor, 40$ worth of computer effects, and a script written in 20 minutes.What I found especially bad (funny) was how the actors constantly talk to themselves out loud in the most unnatural manner, so as to explain to us what is already completely obvious. The dialogue is one of the worst I've ever seen, with the hero's wife topping it all off with the worst acting imaginable.If you're looking for some special forces nifty hand to hand combat, dont rent this movie. If you're looking for something ala Sniper, dont rent this movie. If you're looking for some all guns blazing action, dont rent this movie. If you're looking for realism, don't rent this movie.There is nothing here. 1 out of 10.
