Rogue Warfare: The Hunt

I only watched the second because the OCD in me wanted answers. Unfortunately I don't know what the questions were.

I figured watching a movie might stave boredom, how wrong I was. I found reading the reviews more entertaining than the film. Honestly though, I blame the editor. He should have burned the building to the ground and destroyed all the footage when he had the chance.

Seriously though, the extras give better performances than the leading actors and actresses. They struggle to maintain their accents with the French guy sounding British, Australian, and American... occasionally a couple syllables with a french accent. The sniper girl does much better with her role, probably the best out of all of them.

The dialogue is painfully slow and.... painful.

All in all this movie is great... at killing braincells without a drop of alcohol.

How there is a second and what possessed me to watch this after the first is beyond me other than maybe they improved it. It was actually a tiny better but still. How this director can watch it back and not cry into his pillow. The dialogue is awful again. Talking school kid could write better. Awful and best part is there is a third 😭

...me dying of boredom. The dialogue was horrendous; blah blah and more blah for an entire 103 minutes, pretty much about nothing. 80% of this film was the Supreme Leader and Scientist just facing each other and talking about garbage, or Daniel laughing and screaming hysterically. I wanted to stick sharp pencils in my ears to stop the suffering. I'd rather listen to paint dry for that 103 mins. What was newb writer Andrew Emilio DeCesare on when he wrote this atrocious screenplay? Out of my 1000+ reviews, this is the worst writing by far. Somewhat experienced Mike Gunther's directing wasn't any better. A 5th grade drama class could've done better than setting up a tripod filming two guys on a hill blabbing about nothing. And the non-stop shots of sand dunes and hills, and more sand dunes and more hills... ridiculously amateur. The entire film needed 90 mins cut out, and the 13 min left may have been an enjoyable short. It's a very generous 2/10 from me for the somewhat adequate performances by the soldiers, who I'm sure would've performed better if they had some real casting direction from Gunther. We can use this film to torture our enemies by duct-taping them to a chair and make them watch this film over and over again.

In other aspects of life one can take stock of a bad position and walk away. Not so in the movie industry. This is not the worst you'll likely have seen, but it is sufficiently poor to wonder how anybody ever signs off on such a project. Awful dialog, direction, set pieces and performances. Just really bad. Even if you set out expecting very little, you'll still hate it.

Team America World Police has a better grasp of the geopolitical zeitgeist than this film has. The actors are less wooden too. I hope it was a successful tax write off. Hurka durka.
