Code Name Banshee

D-level movie. Something a bunch of high schoolers could have made on VHS in the 90's. The guns have zero recoil. The acting is below par. The story makes little sense. Just awful.

What happened to Banderas? He used to be awesome.

Tiresome dialogue, weak action performed by underprepared actors. If you can't hold an automatic at arms length without shaking, you may not want to portray a seasoned assassin. Just saying. Antonio Banderas should have passed on this one. His part in Stallone's "Expendables" was 10 times better than his character in this one. Just sad.

I gave it 2 stars only because it did have Banderas in it and the short preview I saw looked promising. Fool me once and all that... I'll never get the time or my $9 back on this one. Wish I'd checked these reviews first.

And why do they require a minimum of 600 characters in these reviews? In this case I'm forced to ramble on much longer than needed.

Usual revenge story but not very well done. Macho woman verses big hard Scottish man, predictable result in a poor thriller. Usual cliche's for this genre. Give it a miss, get's a three because there is a lot of action in it, albeit predictable and poorly staged.

Looks like Banderas is the next actor to follow the path of Nicholas Cage, Bruce Willis, etc...

This movie was a big swing and a miss, despite the big names in the cast. I thought the whole opening sequence was laughable as the protagonist literally stood in the open while holding two guns out like she's some sort of terminator. From that point on, the story was just cliche and the actions were just boring as expected. They should take a lesson from Kate, which did it right.

However, perhaps the most annoying is the camera work. Again, in 2022 with what we have today in terms of technology, it still baffles me while there are directors who want to get cute and use some poor lighting, old camera style, etc... People want to see crisp clear HD, not a dark near black and white grainy screen.

Terrible film. 2/10.

The story is basic but so many holes send in a team to do a job all get killed then ask next team how many they have and they say enough but they again got killed. The film was a special kind of stupid planned operation just burn the house down it was good enough for Winston Churchill.
