Attila

one of films about nothing. or only a bad joke, cocktail of popular culture, action scenes, American army and a character who lost his status for become a form of garbage for flies. so, it is not easy to define it. sure, it is only an example of films empty of sense, near hard core pornography, who propose only a kind of terror, using a historical character for a crazy game with different crap details. but , in fact, this is far to be a mistake. each film has its public and the target of this film is so precise than each stone becomes mud ball. and this does it useful. for discover its fans profile. for amusing and lost the patience. for be horrified. or for ignore the film and remain in the refuge of yours thoughts. so, Attila. or, more exactly, an awful portrait of him as pretext for blood, terror and great American soldier in cheep package.

Here's my take on the movie. Story...okay. Acting...so-so. The US Army uniforms are a joke. They looked like slobs and no one was in the same uniform. White t-shirts, green t-shirts and black t-shirts on the same base. Doesn't happen. If you're going to make a movie with soldiers in it, at least do some research. It killed me to look at the Army General's uniform. He had a Navy Achievement Medal and a Combat Action Ribbon (Marines) but no Army medals... once again do 2 minutes of research to make it a bit more believable. I started to tune it out when the CPT said, it happened at zero twelve hundred (01200?). When is that? If they would have at least got actors with military haircuts and the right uniforms, I may have watched it all the way through. I only watched as much as I did because Mikayla Campbell is pretty dang hot.

I mean... they tried. If you're looking for a night of laughs with the boys, press play on this gem. Acting, script, and plot points aside, the guns are halarious; no stocks on most, no magazines in some, muzzle flashes coming out of the wrong part of the guns sometimes, and keep an eye on the RPG, it's floppy as all get out.

Would give this a zero if it was possible. I knew this was crap in the first 5 minutes when I saw the title sequence. VFX is amateurish, looks like someone thought by watching Video CoPilot tutorials would be enough to work on a movie. Blood splatter effects straight out of Action Essentials. I mess around with After Effects for fun/hobby and I could easily do a more professional job and that's pretty sad. Fight scenes are repetitive, boring and cheesy. Story is boring. Editing is boring with pacing issues. Boring characters you don't care about. I can usually find something redeeming in the crappiest movies that I can appreciate, but this didn't have anything. Just all around bad. Avoid at all cost.

a bad movie ? not exactly. only awful. small ordinaries tricks, blood and fake history's use. and a film about nothing with ambition to became a series. absurd, illogical but useful like each bad movie for a strange form of fun who has not the status of irony but only surprise. it is not original, only clone of clone of clones of many stupid movies who are not sense, not script, not actors and represents just a small place near hard pornography. because the source, maybe the purpose are the same. only problem after its end is the choice of Hun leader. which is his huge sin for be victim of this form of cultural garbage ? so, only mercy for the poor Attila saves the film for few days after the meeting. but it is far to save it in real sense.
