ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
waqasmah At one point in the movie, where the captured captain is being tortured, when they electrified her and other people were holding her, the captain felt the shock and other people didn't feel a damn thing. Even a primary grade student would also know that if someone is holding other person and if the other person feels the shock then the first person would also feel the shock.to put it in the simple way "A Bullshit movie". Very poor acting, low budget, insane direction and no use of brain. The rebels just jump in front of marines without thinking that if they are able to kill one person from that point, they can kill more but it seems that director think that rebels have no brain and they don't use any tactics then he is doing a huge mistake. I think the director of this movie should go and train marines. They might win the "the war for oil and safer Israel" :D
and_mitchell_2000 First off, the acting is just terrible, I could go on, but just trust me! Second, the special Fx is really bad, anyone could tell that they are fake. (Spoiler Below)I one scene where the bad guys are going to shoot down the helicopter and instead of having of a shot of the actual bad guys manning a gun, about to fire it; they had a CG helicopter flying in the sky with bright red cross-hairs locking on the helicopter. It was bad. The helicopter crashing was terrible too, they just shook the camera for a shot of the helicopter and cut to a shot of the camera zooming in on the tries below.Most People would rather watch a movie with the same synopsis, shot with a 8MM camcorder, THAT HAD AN ACTUAL PLOT; than watch "Hunt For Eagle One" with fancy effects and shot by fancy camcorders, WITH NO PLOT.
stephenallaway As a former member of The Australian Army, I feel that this movie is one of the worst, if not the worst movie I have ever seen. My first thought in the opening scene, "A daylight opposed landing????? What the...." (in reality a small force would never land in the middle of a beach with inflatables, opposed or not).Then to add even more insult, the long flowing, unrestrained hair on a "U.S. Officer" complete with glossy lipstick, both chargeable offences, I wonder who the "advisor" was and having served alongside of the Phillipino army the comments made were very offensive and not just to women. The storyline did have potential, but the lack of credibility and poor acting killed it in the first few minutes. I found this movie to be an insult to the intelligence of even the most naive movie-goer and I recommend that if you feel you must watch it, then do so at high speed, the "keystone cops" feeling thus created at least deserves a laugh. Lastly the synopsis on the back is truly misleading and to say that this is in the same league as such epic greats as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Behind Enemy Lines" is a direct insult to the cast and crew of these, and I for one am amazed that Sony even put there name to it, all that have watched this bile should commence a class action against all involved in the production.
honda2 It's not a Hollywood war movie so don't expect big explosions or lots of military gear, but it looks pretty decent. The action...well it looked more real that the standard Hollywood movie, it was like a very good documentary ( I know it's not one, but still...).The acting : well there were no "deep thoughts / lines" so not much to show for the actors and since most of the lines spoken by the "enemies" were in their native language it's hard to judge that.There were no "bullet time/close-ups", no sound coloring or open wounds, but it looked exactly how it would like when ppl start shooting/fighting.It isn't Black Hawk Down or Jarhead or even Apocalypse Now but it IS a solid movie about a bunch of marines doing their job and then going home ( no US patriotic bullshit etc. ).
