Opération: Soulcatcher

No pun intended - I am not even sure if the (international) title is apt. But let's not get hung up on that. The movie seems like a throwback ... if that is a good or a bad thing ... well up to you! Quite a few cliches - things you have seen in US movies too. If you liked them there, you will like them here. I would not go as far as do Seagal comparisons - that is just me - and below the quality of the movie (as low as you may think it is).

The action is well shot, the predictability rate as high as the hit rate of our main character. He has charisma - and gets a band of misfits to help him. Again no points for guessing the twists (if you can call them that) ... also paper thin character development ... if any ...

If you value your time do not waste it for this movie. Seems to me that they used people straight from the street, who have no idea how to act, as it's painfully unrealistic... Special effects out of movies in 1960's, story line like from some youtube channel. I don't understand how this movie made it to netflix... is it some new trend - bad is a new good? I have seen some corny movies before, but this one sets completely new standard :) If this is the way polish cinematography is going I am afraid it's time to focus on other countries, which is a shame, as they did make some really good movies in the past...

The 70's called they want their plotline back! A film so bad Steven Segal wouldn't be in it.

A team the Expendables wouldn't touch with a bargepole take on an evil scientist (also from the 70's) who has a soul sucking device, as they land somewhere, I was too bored to care where, a child in a black dress looking like a historical figure with a tattoo on her head leads our intrepid nitwits to a village of zombies, she disappears, they all shoot at each other. People die it's very boring, plot holes you could drive a hummer through, cardboard cutout villains you can spot with your back to them, they threw money at this when they should have thrown a script and some decent actors.

Where have all the good films gone?

It doesn't get any more amateur hour than this mess. Co-writer and director Daniel Markowicz put together a film that was riddled with cliches, plot holes and terrible action sequences and editing. A fifth grade drama class can do better. The lead actor was unconvincing and annoying - I'm sure part blame falls on poor cast directing. There were too many incomplete scenes and random ones that made no sense (girl with the tattoo on her forehead), and others were you will see an explosion and not know why/where it came from (e.g. Did helicopter pilot blow up army vehicles and save female soldier?). The entire story has been done many times before and all much better. How a filmmaker can make his viewers sit through a painful 98 min runtime and still barely know what that machine is/does is a sign of terrible filmmaking. There's absolutely no reason to waste your time with this nonsense, I did it for you.

Good lord! Did a bunch of kindergartners make this with a cell phone? Did they even have a script? Whoever produced this just ruined the careers of the actors in this pile of garbage. I feel bad for them. Don't waste your time with this. They couldn't pay me to watch this horse manure again! I just wasted an hour and a half of my life sitting through this to see if there was anything worth while. Watching paint dry would've been more entertaining. At least if the action was halfway decent I wouldn't have felt completely cheated by the bad production value and talentless writing. But it's not. How did this even get released commercially?
