Project 12: The Bunker

The film is a great action thriller very entertaining. In my opinion, also knowing the limited resources the project had, is quiet well done. I guess the idea is original and believable and if the setting is in the past, is bringing back to the reality an ideological conflict which is not yet over: even more, is very actual, unfortunately.

Jaime with really limited contacts, basically no support and by living in a remote island in the Atlantic as Tenerife, is achieving step by step a level of quality production which I find amazing compared to the relatively low production cost.

I wish him success for his career and looking forward to his next movies.

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.

Quite unsurprising and seemed to be filled with some extra clutter to make it 90 min long. The acting wasn't great but I've seen much worse too.

Would I not have read the synopsis I wouldn't have had any idea what I was watching until about halfway through the movie. I don't think you'd lose much is you just skipped to the moment when they reach the bunker.

I think it was watchable and with the topic had potential to be bad instead of just awful. I'd say it just a few ticks away from being bad enough to be good. It is a three star movie but anything with soviet scifi elements gets an extra star from me.

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.

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.
