Bone Cold

This movie already has a low rating but after starting it it seemed to not be totally low budget bad. However about 25 minutes in the two main characters were trying to identify a target, only had a few basic descriptions, I had to go back and check. At the mission debrief they had a picture of the guy they were sent after. Seriously they were presented with a picture of their target. Then on site they can't verify the dude? Come on guys, this just made the movie implausibly dumb I gotta question every aspect. Like not using proper weather protection despite what are sub freezing temps, not caring about footprints in snow, etc.

Holy @&$! What a complete waste of time!!

Ukraine // Russian border - ok

Secret Ops - ok

Alien Creature - scary as F and very confusing.

The acting is fine but the story line // plot is not-- WTF??? I get the point of the secret operations and that kind of stuff--what we don't understand is the alien creature and how that fits into the narrative- why oh why did the producer include that sub-plot?? We are still scratching our heads-

I will admit that the alien sub-plot held our interest, though. Beware of the creepy alien and the sounds of the forest- not for the faint of heart (or lungs, intestines, or guts)...

I thought the movie started on the right footing and was making sense. I'm not going to lie, the beginning of the movie was solid; the story was unfolding quite well. The black ops was going well, the operatives killing the wrong individual-this makes total sense (bad intel, I get that). The movie collapsed when the woman sniper saw the creature. For the movie to have made sense at that point, the Russian woman sniper should not have seen the creature. When she witnessed the creature, it wasn't PTSD coming from the two operatives anymore, the was as real as it gets. Overall, I give it a 2 star.

Bone Cold executes its premise flawlessly. It's a character study, written in blood and biting snow. Soldiers are asked to pledge everything for a cause, and the toll is always more than just physical. This movie takes that theme, infuses it with a healthy dose of matinee creature feature, but never loses sight of its poignancy. When you get to the climax, which I will not spoil, everything is placed in sharp relief. Family, loyalty, patriotism, love. Bone Cold is a movie about the things that matter most. As a sidenote, the logistics of filming so much of this movie in the snow-covered forest are quite impressive here. Highly recommend a watch.

This film from the offset told me it wasn't big budget, but what we have here is low budget at its finest.

Ive watched big budget movies that were not even as good as this.

Great actors and editing, the colonel was on point and the 2 man team worked well as it kept you drawn onto them.

Anymore would have been chaos to try and understand the too many multiple characters.

The story puts you on what i can only tell is PTSD,EXPOSURE TO HARSH CONDITIONS,POOR INTEL.

All of which when combined will play tricks on the mind.

8/10 from me and a must watch, ill watch again, pick up the blueray version.
