Karmouz War

The story was good but montage wasn't the best. Going better than the Egyptian side. ::::::::::::::::::

Short and sweet: If you're looking for an action packed Adkins flick. This ain't it. Fast forward 3/4 of the movie to see Scott fight. Choreography was good enough. Skip the rest.

This film started out nicely, with a bit weak plot but believable, but by the second half the movie become too ambitious, over-the-top and unrealistic. Why not just released them? why risk many lives over such trivial matter? the storyline is just so contrived. The score was very predictable and overbearing, a sad scene comes on, a sad string score start playing, an intense scene comes on, an intense stomp and clap score starts playing, very predictable and uncreative, not subtle at all. The film gets overly dramatic at times like the scene where some of the characters started calling God's name, so cheesy, in fact, some of this emotional scenes that's supposed to make you cry or something, will make you laugh instead and the women here, were merely items.

There was a cameo by Scott Adkins, or extended cameo at best, 'cause his total screentime was about ten minutes I think, but he was used heavily in promoting the film, nice move guys nice move, anyway, his character was totally pointless, he was kinda like a killing machine, but the fight scene at the climax was choreographed well.

I really like Scott Adkins and last week i watched Avengement on Netflix and it was amazing. This week i decided to rent "No Surrender" as its call here at the local video store wich had released a few weeks ago.

The front cover got Scott Adkins on it, the back cover also has Scott Adkins with his name in big capital letters. Everything make you beleive this is a Scott Adkins movie. In the end his role is super small. Thats pretty much an extended cameo at best. Very disapointing.

The story is not bad, i actually liked the main guy and if it was not for the terrible VVS french dubbing (they obviously had Team B on this one, the same guys who do all the DTV releases) i think it would be a fairly decent movie. The problem is i watched it on my Beer Friday Night, where i drink a lot and get in the mood for a big action movie, usually martial arts. So i was very disapointed and kept saying "where is Scott ... cmon !!"

So my enjoyement of the movie was sadly affected by this. As the title says i felt like i was deceived by the producers who put Scott face all over the promo material only for him to be barely in the movie. He is more in Expendables 2 than this, thats saying something.

So i would say if you know what to expect its an alright movie, its not bad at all, but know that Scott is a very minor character.

Just saw this movie for the name of Scott Adkins, but he has very small role and only at climax. Story line is good but with some unbelievable situation that how can fight a war which risks innocent loacl people by two heads ( one of military and one from prison) over only one stupid soldier who did unfair things. However, movie starts from very interestengly and creates hope for good movie with thrill and tension. But middle part looses grip and finally a well climax and unexpected end. Acting from prison head is good with his impressive personality. Scott is super in his fight sequence as ever with his spinning kicks. Watchable at once for some thrill and tension.
