Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
kosmasp The movie tries really hard to pay tribute to old (Grindhouse) movies and is constantly aware that the audience is in on the joke. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Unfortunately all the winks and tributes do not work as well as I think the filmmakers intended them to be in the first place.The short running time will be a relief to almost everybody, because the movie does feel longer (although I couldn't tell you why). The story has it's (twist) moments and it does have a few nice surprises along the way, that make this a not so bad experience. As another reviewer said, depending on your taste you might even like this better than the rating it got here. But for the rest: Rent it first, see if you like it and then you can still buy it, if you really want to
wiliwonka Yawn, that movie was so boring! Just saw it on Fantasy Film Fest. There were 8 of us in the beginning of this film and 5 of them left cinema after half of this flick. It is very amateurish. Of course this is obviously intended most of the time but in some scenes its just... ...well amateurish and cheap. Although there were some (very few) nice FX for such a low budget movie, like those invisible Ninjas..For a Ninja or action movie there is far too less action. For a parody it is not funny enough in my opinion (there were maybe like 3 mediocre jokes and a good one). Well my friend said that you might interpret this movie as a political statement about conspiracy driven by the USA packaged in a d-movie (and I agree) but its still bad entertainment...
oddarne-1 This movie hits you with memorable events of the Norwegian 80's. And makes it a bit exciting and very funny. I guess that if you are born prior to or during the early 80's (preferably in Norway) you'll find this movie nostalgic and hilarious.The director and crew has done an excellent job in utilizing special effects to make it look like the 80's. Why compete with the $100 million budget block buster movies (that time forgets in an instant). When you can make a funny movie that just as well as the story, the props and special effects make the movie memorable.The only down side to this movie might be that foreigners will most likely not pick up on all of the 80's nostalgia and thus not understand all the humor. But this movie is very watchable anyway.
Goettschwan Arne Treholt, in the real world, was Norways biggest traitor during the cold war. This film dishes out the alternate reality of him being the leader of the kings secret Ninja Elite Forces. Yes, we said Norwegian Ninjas. Expect obvious model miniatures hanging from visible strings, ninjas disappearing into smoke clouds, mixed in real footage of 80s events, made-to-be-bad martial arts scenes, machos with tinted sunglasses in best "Pilot" Heritage, and action scenes straight out of the fake army manual they made for the movie ;) If you take this as a serious try on movie-making, you are in the wrong film. This is over the top Z filmmaking, and as such it blows :)
