This could have been better...Not a total fail tho.

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2010)

My English as always is questionable. But understandable, and as always i will not bore you with entire plot of the movie spooned out till the bodem.
OK that being said lets take a nice look at this movies, like i always say in every review i wrote here. Movies are like music, some love to rock and roll other like to hear Beethoven. So to get this two camped "this movie sucks" "this movie rocks" stuff out of the way i tend to be objective.
Characters Well, when the movie started is saw Pierce and David on the cover. So i had already a "rubbing my hands this is going to be good" mood. The beginning was really spectacular. A good explosion, and i saw Pierce fall in the field. From there one my mood was "Mmmm this is not a good start the cover with the cast is pretty misleading" The new Sergeant comes in, and sorry to say he looks like a rookie. No offense but to me it seemed like a mishap in casting. But as the movie prolonged he did actually a pretty good job! It is pretty obvious he needs his adrenaline fix and thats pretty cool and all. But it does not fit in war at all. Unresponseable behavior and putting his men at risk is just pretty stupid (story wise) as i was expecting a realistic image of how a team like that would goto work in real life.
The science fiction was disturbing.
Then before you know it your caught in a movie that has allot of science fiction. You see him pull detonation chord and a nice circle of ARMED bombs around him emerge. He simply cuts the detonators and presto everybody can feel relieved again. This movie lacks believability it is not so surprising that this is Mr Camerons ex wife, it totally shows in this movie. I was waiting for the terminators to pop into screen at anytime (joke) Then he goes AWOL, and gets back without any penalty and such. He simply walks back into base without any consequences. Now i am not a soldier and maybe OK given your in war not smart/needed to fire a good Sergeant. But it did not make sense, i was hoping for a scene were he got like a short jail time as penalty that would have added a consequence to his mental state of mind.
But no such thing, there huge holes in movie. Then the bombs there ALL the same, and there all RIGGED to be disarmed by a infant. OK folks its movie but heeij do we not like to be sitting on the tip of our chairs with the excitement of "CAN HE DO IT! WHAT WIRE TO CUT !! COMMON MAKE A CHOICE!" that adds to the experience. Here it is more like "Ok he walks to the bomb, and cuts the detonators away done" Conclusion I give it a 6, this is because the shots are pretty nicely done. It has that typical war zone look to it, the place were it is shot is convincing enough. And the explosion (not so many) are pretty well done.
But if you are looking for a realistic movie, for sure let this one slide. The cover is misleading David and Pierce have like 10min in the entire movie. That was pretty disappointing, i do not care if this was a movie made by a female or male...
My love is for movies that entertain me regardless gender. This one is with a 6 a OK movie if you are bored and just in for a slow paced action movie.
This could have been better...that is all.
