Best movie of this year hands down!
Simply Perfect
Powerful
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.
In the first 5 minutes the whole thing feels horrible and fake.The proposal to his gf, horrible and fake, the extras, horrible and fake, people clap his proposal on the beach even though they were out at sea when he proposed and wouldn't be able to hear. the terrorists walking around with their guns down as extras while everyone still pretends to get shot from nowhere. There's a scene where the main character stops running, it turns to a terrorist shooting people off camera, then it turns back and for some reason he is just standing there ready to take a shot to the leg? Why did he stop on our, oh yeah, bad acting and it was scripted he needed to be shot in the leg. Also he is in 4th the swimming pool and bodies and bullets are flying around him from above, he comes out and no terrorists were there and t HD em pan left t kg ry are still advancing from that direction as how did they shoot down into the pool they hadn't even got to yet? Also when he jumped in the pool they were shooting from the right, when he gets out they are now advancing from his left? So they ran round the beach in a circle quickly off camera? Nope again just bad editing and continuity.Then they shoot his gf point blank in the neck, she dies, he gets a shot to the shoulder, and crawls over to her. So they walk over and shoot his de as d gf and leave him alive after killing everyone else? Why, oh yeah so they still have a main character, even if it makes no sense at all. Shoot the pretty white girl who is no threat, leave the angry man still crawling in the sand alive after two gun shots??Then 35 minutes in after many other minor laughable moments. Like Keaton saying people think you slice a neck like this, and then demonstrates nothing, but no you do it like this, then demonstrates. What was the first one then genius? Another section cut out. Then in the same section, they are grabbing on the floor, Sean Atkins is on top chocking the main character, we focus on Keaton as he says a line, it moves back and for some reason Sean Atkins is now being chocked out in a sleeper hold by the main character within seconds? Another section cut out but continuity nof fixed.So the 35 minute in scene, fake shopping mall made for training with airsoft guns. He sees the target and accomplice on Sean Atkins, he draws a knife, then it cuts to another camera view and his hand is empty and he draws his airsoft pistol and takes put the two targets. They obviously again cut out the scene, but lost the continuity again, who edited this horrible film, a college kid?Not even half way yet and I could do a huge video highlighting all the script and continuity errors in this film, total b movie rubbish or worse.Also they never do any tests, just. Emotion tests and off the charts, are these charts still so crap and limited that they can't measure anything better then what they already have?And how is he off the charts in everything, all his montage he is on his own, no MMA training he just does it on his own, no gun training, he is just at a range in his own. He dropped out of school 3 times so has no intelligence but somehow before his gf was killed they said he was graduating from college, but still never did as dripped out to kill terrorists.Horrible premise, horrible backstory, horrible acting, horrible filming, horrible continuity.Also everytime I saw Taylor kitsch I thought he looked like Timothy oliphant, and then when he started trying to act, I wished it was oliphant as he was just as crap in 4th his as he was in True Detective as the gay in denial.Don't waste your time watching this...
Can believe this could happen in real life, the main guys are really good and I believed the pain they felt, the action and fighting is very real hard to watch at times, as it's so real, but I loved this film. I did not want it to end to be honest, it's a very good, spy, action, drama film etc
Could be a nice action movie but bad acting and casting made it just poor. Dylan O'Brian doesnt convince at all as member of a special force fighting terrorrists. Michael Keaton as a "tough-as-nail former U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. ???? What a joke .... he didnt even bothered ( or couldnt at all ) get in shape for the role ... well , the other actors follow the same lead , none of them convince .... This could be a nice ( and common ) "chase the bad guys" action movie but the non convincing acting just made it disapointing and poor ...
O'Brien impressed in the role, he fits the character. However, the writing needs major work. The plot contains gaping holes and does not convey much of a linear story. The movie was poorly adapted from the novels. With that being said, the actors flourished within their roles to offset the lack of story. The production value, particularly the stunts, were very impressive. The hand to hand combat was well acted. My hope is that the next movie in the franchise will have a much better plot. Wait until it is optioned for tv, but don't pay money to see this movie.
