Absolutely hilarious Rambo style action parody. From the poster it might be easy to dismiss this as just another throw away action flick, but it's actually incredibly self-aware, and the overall production values are great. It's the the perfect counter to the dreadful "sniper war" movies that have been flooding the market for a decade.

The terrible CGI fits perfect with the style of movie. Characters are flying in on jet packs for no reason. Explosions are straight from the 90's VFX packs. The acting is very low-key which adds to the comedic effect. So many "comedies" today seem to think insane over-acting is how you make people laugh. Obviously this movie isn't at the level of "Hot Shots!" but it's still good for laugh.

I have no idea the backstory behind this movie production, but I would definitely watch more of this.

No pun intended - I did not feel this was a parody, but then again, what do I know right? What I did feel was that the movie had quite the well choreographed action scenes. Not best of the best stuff (no pun intended), but more than decent. Of course this is filled with cliches and other stuff ... you will see where the story is going and such things.

Acting isn't something this will be known for either, still better than any Seagal outing ... which I reckon will bring me some heat/negativity, but just telling it how it is ... suspend your disbelief, do not let anything get in your head .. and just counter logic the same way the movie does it: by ignoring it!
