Nothing to see here.

Rating: 1/10 (22 August 2010)

If you want to see mercenaries at work watch "The Killer Elite", if you want action watch "Predator", this movie has nothing to do with mercenaries nor with action. Its really sad to see action stars giving up all concept of action movies. Like 99% of the movies of the last decade you WILL walk out of the theater remembering nothing of what you watched, you have seen it all before made one thousand times better and with allot more point.
The dialog was really disgusting for me, no mercenaries, real people or respected movie characters would outer such nonsense or acted like this guys do. In one scene the merc. goes to a basketball court to beat up the guy that hit his girlfriend, when the other guys in the court hear what happened they side with the woman beater, WTF? and surprise the trained mercenary beats them all up. I think a cold killer mercenary would be the scum that hits women, now I don't know any mercs so I digress. The bad guy says real men don't beat women so he orders his lackey to beat and torture her thus proving his point of ordering it is not the same as doing it? some would disagree. The rest of the movie is just talking nonsense, explosions and shooting signifying nothing until the bad guys are dead and the good unscathed. I wasn't watching with extreme attention and I skipped a few parts, so maybe I had more things to say, but I'm sure someone else will mention them in another review.
In Predator there is a scene in witch the guys are shooting in the jungle: As the sergeant starts of, the rest of the team one by one walks in, guns blazing, emptying clip after clip after explosive round on the trees. After the onslaught is over the unearthing line "We hit nothing" is uttered. every time I watch it, it sends shivers down my spine and I've watched it allot of times. I'm writing this to show that I love action and war movies, sadly they make only one or two a year the last few years.
All the names appearing in this movie is just the gimmick of the movie to make a days work, money and power, you don't need to watch it.
Also, if you want to know what it really means to get shot in the shoulder watch "The Killer Elite", a very realistic movie that also shows how obsolete ninjas really are.
