The Unendables

Rating: 2/10 (21 August 2010)

No no no no and double no. I am a huge fan of action films but...This was an atrocity. I can forgive the unimaginative story, bad acting, terrible script and all the other bad stuff. If the action had been well done but it was so stupid i felt my brain cells leaking out of my ears as i watched. Poorly shot in "the big" fight scenes and the graphics for gun shot wounds would have been better with squibs and blood packs.
As regards to reviewers saying it's not ego driven, that is so untrue, i now believe iraq do have wmd's. I wish they had dropped them on Sly and his old cronies. I so wanted to love this film but all the gushing reviews are making me queezy. After the movie i needed an antidote and watched Bang Rajan, a Thai version of apocalypto without the budget, and even with minimal training they eclipsed Sly's film in 30 mins.
Please go watch this film with an open mind but try to keep your brains active. The terrible monologues and Sly running had me and my friends cringing and laughing equally as hard. Look out for the enemy soldier near the end who looks like he's packing only to get shot in the ass, hilarious! but not intentional.(not a spoiler so don't complain)
