YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

e_design I agree with all the comments that gave this horrific mess one star. This is really just to warn you that the Japanese title is "Into the Mission". So if you live in Japan, steer clear!!! Honestly, people should be paid to watch this. No wonder it has a different title in every country!

jimbo-53-186511 2047: A Sight for Death, or Death Squad as it's also known ran into trouble straight away with me. The first very early problem with this film was Danny Glover's narration. Now I like Danny Glover as an actor and thought he was fantastic in the Lethal Weapon films, but the first 5 minutes consist of him mumbling random and incoherent dialogue. Worse still, most of his narration seems to actually be used to act as a framework for the story. I actually listened to his narration at the start twice and still didn't understand all of it. This might be one of the reasons why I couldn't get involved with the film because I felt like I never really knew what was going on?? Had this been the only issue then I probably would still recommend it, but the truth is that this film is so mind-numbingly boring. Once Ryan arrives, we see him sulking around and then we witness him playing a rather dull and tedious game of cat and mouse with the mercenaries. It just seemed to lack any sort of spark or imagination and was just tiresome and predictable.The writers clearly weren't interested in providing the audience with any sort of semblance of an intelligent screenplay, which in itself isn't a bad thing if they would have at least made the film entertaining. The fact that the film is both boring and uninteresting means that they've actually created a film that isn't for 'anyone' rather than one that isn't for 'everyone'.Many of the performances reflect the overall quality of the film with Baldwin & Hannah being the worst offenders. The former is a large piece of wood, devoid of charm or charisma who certainly isn't the kind of character you'd care for or root for. The latter is just plain bad and unconvincing. Hauer fares better, but that's not saying much. Madsen was ridiculous and terrible, but at least he looked like was having fun here and this does sort of translate on-screen, but this alone is not strong enough to make it worth watching.Death Squad is an insufferable mess that lacks intelligence and is just downright boring. Even it's pathetic IMDb score of 2.5 is far too generous. It's a film that should be erased from existence.

adi_2002 Words can't describe how bad is this movie. It wants to be a horror- sci-fi type but it fails in all chapters. Even the good and known actors in it can't manage to save this failure. It seems like a B-movie with low budget. I don't know how a bunch of respectable names in cinema agreed to star in something like this. If I could I would make the actors watch the movie in witch they played and see if they agree.I will not talk about the story, because is very lame, this is the kind that must be watch in order to believe how dreadful is. But really instead of doing so, just watch at the window for one hour and a half and it will be much more interesting then this film.

dmstokes73 This is a terrible movie and everyone involved, from actors to directors should be ashamed of themselves. This movie involved people who were in Reservoir Dogs, Lethal Weapon, Kill Bill but this movie is nothing like any of these. This movie is less interesting than the credits of these movies. This movie is terrible, the acting is trash, the plot is incoherent, the props were done by the high school art class and the director was obviously drunk most of the time. There are some good actors in this movie, or rather actors who have done good work in their careers. This is not that good work. I don't know how they became involved in this, guess everyone has to pay the bills. Seriously, don't go here. It is as entertaining as a drunk in an alleyway and smells worse.
