LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

marion_guin I knew this movie had no value from the start, but it really confirmed it when the protagonist has nearly averted Armageddon, but puts down his weapon and decides to duke it out with the villain...he has a sense of honor you know. Please save yourself from this movie and don't even start it.I got stuck having to watch this on a long distance bus ride in Egypt (the kind where they play the volume ALLLLLL the way up). It was followed by a low-budget martial arts film, which was much better than this one. At least I, unlike the other unfortunate reviewers, have an excuse for not being able to bail out before the end :-)

Nick Dets I have a strange love for the low budget action movies that collect dust on the shelf of video stores. The ones that might get play on ActionMax, but are understandably overlooked by everyone else. I suckered myself into watching it, and was oddly absorbed into it's fun opening scene involving a raid on a drug plant. Its opening is a good attention getter to keep the audience from shutting it off or turning the channel, but unfortunately the scenes that follow get increasingly horrible. The extremely sloppy and unorganized,not to mention predictable, script involving a renegade named Turner's (Ice-T) work against the United States with the help of a foriegn employer and a Stealth Fighter, a burnt out military pilot whose home life comes apart in clcihed fashion, and a completely unrelated and laughable subplot about a stranded submarine which stands for absolutely nothing and has no relevance whatsoever with the story. This seperate time-filler leaves you feeling extremely manipulated, and ends in an irony that should cause some good laughs. I would recommend watching a scene with Ice-T for some bad writing matched equally with his funny performance. Turn the channel immediately after, I caution. The director Jim Wyrnuski (or whatever it is) worked with Fred Olen Ray on "Dinasour Island" then oddly fashioned his career after him (Olen Ray did a stealth movie at the same time). I will only say this, a Fred Olen Ray wannabe is the most pathetic label I have ever heard in my entire life.

jfosteriii This movie has a cast of some very talented actors, great military footage and what appears to be a decent budget...all of which are wasted on a lame story, horrible dialogue and apparently absolutely no military consultants. Ernie Hudson, William Sadler, Andrew Divoff, Erika Eleniak, and Ice-T couldn't save this movie. It would be like asking Jeff Gordon to win Daytona on a tricycle. The first clue to a bad military flic is when the actors aren't dedicated enough to the project to get a real military haircut! A navy pilot with a ponytail?? Get real!

kjheinz I don't know who came up with this film, but the casting director and the props person need to be glued together for about a month just to teach them a lesson. President Ernie Hudson? Do you take us for saps? Did anyone notice that during the tense negotiation scene with the bad guys, the President and his cabinet are sitting in what could be characterized as a small grade school classroom? watching a 19 inch tv monitor? while all assembled around a small dinner table? You can actually see them all being visibly uncomfortable, since they all can't fit into the picture at once. Ernie has a look on his face as though the camera crew didn't let him eat any catered donuts that morning--he's hungry and wondering where his life went.Isn't the President supposed to have a big "situation" room, with padded chairs, big screen tv monitors and a huge conference table for when he negotiates with bad guys? If I were a bad guy, negotiating with Pres. Hudson while his staff all has to stand over his shoulder so they can see the tv would be impetus for all kinds of mischief. I bet when one of them stands up, he better call "fives" or someone takes his chair.And who wrote Ice-T's lines? I certainly hope it wasn't the Ice-Man himself. Note to self, Ice: any tough-sounding one-liner that ends in the phrase "peach trees" is not all that tough to begin with. Wasn't this guy a rapper? Can't he sound any more intimidating than that?Ice - T vs. Ernie Hudson in a battle for the world? Perhaps under-water living is the life for me, after all. Do yourself a favor..don't watch this movie. Go rent Ghostbusters, put on an Ice-T CD, and punch yourself in the groin for 2 hours.
