Excellent but underrated film

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This exciting film contains stunning fights scenes and chases that illuminate the full-blown struggles with a plethora of engaging set pieces on the combats in which the action runs here and there . Exciting manhunt set against spectacular scenery in which a bunch of young urban workaholics sign up for a weekend of paintballing to have some adventure and to the adrenaline begins to flow . The team (Brendan Mackey , Jennifer Matter , Patrick Regis , Neil Maskell , Iaione Perez , Claudia Bassols) is split into two groups , each player is equipped with supplies to last the weekend , a paintball weapon , paint bullets and maps . The winners will be the team that wipes out their opponents and completes the circuit . As the snipers pin them down in a hail of paint . But the adrenaline-filled entertainment soon turns into a merciless chase , in which they become the prey and the hunter shoots live ammunition not paint . It is no longer a game ; but then commands the strongest law , and when rules have changed it turns into a lethal pursuit . Later on , the battle-hardened participants take on each other , including deadly traps , being ambushed , and killed one by one . Hunted down like prey in a deadly game , the teams face a desperate struggle for survival . There's nothing like a brush with death to make you feel alive . Bloody and violently flick with overwhelming fights and nice production values set in deep forest , ravines , caves and obstacle-ridden trekking paths . It is reasonably well paced and turns out to be a long roller-coaster pursuit and relentless hunt . It is packed with noisy action , gritty adventure , thrills , violent shootouts and spectacular outdoors . The strong confrontation in which only rules the law of the jungle , is set against strong environment , mountains and hazardous trails . The movie has great action sequences well staged with stylish and vitality , thrills , and results to be entertaining but repetitive . Cameraman photographs a stirring atmosphere by means of shaky camera over shoulder and videotape . Several action scenes are outstanding with spectacular action images and thrilling fights . It also results to be surprisingly gory , including , stabbing , slitting , writhing in agony , along with a handful of extremely violent and breathtakingly gory scenes . It's a thunder stuff with an unknown cast , they spend most of it running through the forests , hills , mountains , being tracked , chased and escaped . Unfortunately, on small house screens much of the splendor will be lost , to be seen on big screen. Colorful cinematography by Juán Azpiroz , reflecting splendidly impressive landscapes filmed in mountains of Castellterçol , Marganell , Collbató , Aiguamúrcia, Barcelona, Arnes , Tarragona, Catalonia , where the filmmaker also shot ¨El Bruc¨ . Furthermore , it displays an atmospheric and thrilling musical score by Xavier Capellas . The flick was finely produced by the chairman of Filmax Productions , Julio Fernandez along with his brother Carlos Fernandez as executive producer , they're two successful producers and experts on terror genre , producing a lot of hits , such as ¨The machinist¨, ¨Rec ¨1¨, 2¨ and ¨3¨ , ¨Fragiles¨, ¨Darkness¨, ¨El perfume¨ , ¨The nun¨ . The motion picture was professionally directed by Daniel Benmayor , though has some flaws and gaps . He is a good professional , a nice filmmaker who has directed a few films as ¨Bruc , El Desafío¨ (2010) and has been hired by Hollywood , where he has realized ¨Tracers¨ with Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos . This ¨¨Paintball¨ is rated 5.5/10 , passable .

I don't exactly know anymore why I thought that "Paintball" could easily have been a cool and exciting survival/slasher movie when I rented it
Maybe because I went paintballing with a group of friends recently and you immediately link this game to adrenalin-rushing action and sportive kicks? Or perhaps because I have a tremendous weakness for equally obscure and similarly themed flicks from the 1980's, like "TAG: The Assassination Game", "Master Blaster" and "The Zero Boys"? All these flicks share the same plot, namely that a dim-witted but fun shootout game turns deadly when one or more participants start using real ammunition. None of them are to be considered genre classics, or even remotely great films for that matter, but they nonetheless provided pure and unpretentious entertainment. Entertainment is also exactly what I wanted to get out of "Paintball", but apparently that was too much to ask for
It's truly a dire effort, with an utterly dumb and implausible plot, and sadly also severely lacking gore, brutality and fast-paced suspense/excitement. "Paintball" is a European production – more specifically a Spanish one – and the creators obviously wanted to further exploit the worldwide impression that ALL Europeans are psychopathic butchers with a fetish for torturing Americans. Hence we're getting some kind of ridiculous mixture between the aforementioned 80's titles and Eli Roth's "Hostel". A bunch of people are in the back of a shaky truck, heading out to the remote Redwoods area and preparing themselves for a large-scaled and allegedly super-deluxe paintballing contest. Upon their first confrontation with another team already, it becomes clear that they are all defenseless puppets in much more sadistic and profitable game, run from an illegal control room somewhere in the city. It's kind of a dumb twist, if you ask me, but even more imbecilic than the plot are the totally bland and unremarkable characters. Each and every single member in the group of protagonists irritated me enormously, what with their whining and selfishness, and I literally wished for none of them to survive the ordeal. Director Daniel Benmayor also thought it would be a good idea to film all the killings from POV angle and through a sort of unclear brown camera filter. Result: the killings are hectically shot and extremely dull. There's nearly not enough bloodshed or cruelty for die-hard horror fanatics, let alone the admirers of the nowadays popular torture porn genre. The film doesn't take enough advantage of the sublime forestry filming locations and we don't learn enough about the actual villains that are running the show. "Paintball" a complete failure across all departments.

For starters, I'm going to start out by saying that i do not generally watch movies in this genre. Survival horrors, slashers, and other movies made to bring out fear and emotions like it are not really my thing. but i do love paintball, so i watched this.I think that the ratings given this film are too low. It was a well made movie. Of course most of the characters are whiny little wimps and have no idea what they're doing, but some of them are brand new to the sport, and don't even know what to expect from regular paintball.When David starts taking charge, it feels good to see that someone is not an idiot. What they really needed was some better dialogue. Or actually, they needed some dialogue period, because i don't count screeching as dialogue. the cinematography was quite shaky, even in some shots where there was no action, but it was okay. I got pulled into the story, and was on the edge of my bed (my television's in my bedroom) when some of the suspenseful parts were going on. For the "problems" with the gore, I'm glad they made most of it through the hunters infrared goggles. I STILL thought it was too much gore in some scenes, but as i said before, I'm do not usually like these movies. There were some issues with the plot that i had. It was all okay until they got to the part where they say that the viewers are paying to watch death. Its a little cheesy. I think it would have been much more compelling if they were trying to find the best soldiers the world has to offer, or something along those lines. For being relatively low budget (i think) and made by a new producer, i thought it was pretty damn good. i was entertained. i would recommend watching it if you don't usually watch movies in the genre, or if you haven't seen any of the movies that people say it ripped off. 7/10

The script of movie was promising i mean i doesn't matter what kind of movies you likes everybody might like the movie till the movie start The group killed peoples without reason in that moment the movie totally lost attention. Also there was no acting,just a couple crazy men middle of the wood was murdering by mysteriously i mean who could wonder wanna see more or watch the movie,There may not be lots of important thing also they didn't even use visual effect.All in all There was nothing to watch.İf You like the script or trailer and you're thinking to watch this is the tip for you get out of this movie.
