Project 12: The Bunker

Proof that there are good low budget movies out there!

As a streaming movie junkie I have viewed and written a lot of 'low budget' films, and given more than my share of low stars. Thank god I found this one, it has renewed my faith in the industry segment!

OK, the good. FINALLY a pretty solid script. SOO much better than you expect from a low budget film. In fact I thought about 6 stars, but then you are getting into main stream theater level quality, and it was just not quite there. But very close.

The actors actually knew their trade and proved it time and again. I will be watching out for almost the entire cast in the future. They knew how to hold guns, pull off 'stings', everything.

This is one I would highly recommend. Yeah, even for a 2nd tier theater viewing, but probably better for a movie night with some beers and the guys and gals (but not the kiddies).

Spare yourselves the time wasted on this terrible movie. Some reasonable acting but the script is unoriginal, the effects dire, and the directing is all over the place. At the start I thought this was an 80's spoof cold war movie, expecting it to be a comedy, but it takes itself far too seriously and falls down after 20 minutes.

Whilst the plot isn't really original, it moves along at a good pace with some reasonable acting. It's entertaining, and doesn't pretend to be anything else. We found it enjoyable for a wet and cold weekend.

What made this movie OK for me was the location. It's stated as the Canary Islands but the bunker, the tunnels? I couldn't find any reference to them, what were they built for, where exactly were they? Not by any stretch of the imagination an award winner but nevertheless the cast were competent and once they got themselves stuck into the tunnels it was at least atmospheric.

I really do not understand... Cr@p movies like "Inception" get a 10/10 and this movie only gets a 3.7/10, seriously??? There is nothing truly special about this movie, but it is very well done and very entertaining! I've seen so much bad movies that were really bad indeed, this one was actually pretty good, well paced, with a modest sense of humour... very underrated! It was quite entertaining, against all my expectations. I am glad I watched it!!! Again nothing really out of the ordinairy, but if all "bad" movies were as good as this one, then I'd be able to enjoy them all without fear of wasting hours of precious life time... Kudos, I really enjoyed it, and for that a 10/10...
