Flesh Wounds

"If these guys can't fix it, Hell no one can." After a group of scientists goes missing, the army hires an elite covert team led by Tyler (Sorbo) to go and investigate and rescue them. When they get to the site they discover something they never could have imagined. There really is not much to say about this movie. The best way to explain it is that this is a Scy/Fy channel version of "Predators". It is only missing the effects, action, cool bad guys and acting, other then that it is a lot like "Predators". If you are a HUGE Predator or Sci-fi fan you would probably like this, otherwise go ahead and avoid this and anyone who wants you to watch it. I give it a D.

Would I watch again? - No way! I will not be getting this for my store.

*Also try - Predators

Everybody here is saying that this movie is a Predator copycat! And they are 100% right! Shameful movie, truly shameful, I couldn't believe how much alike it really is! So here we go, the camera work, is pure amateur style! You will not believe how bad it can be! After it, the acting. Waaait, I have to rephrase, after it, the "acting". Dear God, low budget must really mean bad actors too? Is there no one out there that would like to start in a movie with just a tad bit of talent? After this, the lines, hohoo, laughing out loud! And worse of all, the plot itself! You're going to see so many things that are simply out of this world dumb! Some chases without any kind of logic, some moments that you're praying for the movie to end right then and of course the, thing itself.

Only if you are a Sorbo fan, then I can recommend this movie to you. Only reason I watched it. But seriously, this is pure garbage. A Predator copycat can be fun, but please by all means, stay away from this one, it's bad in every way possible! I don't know, try Walk Tall 2, it has Sorbo and it is rather nice! Regards!

This would be a 2 if not for the beautiful and interesting cinematography. The acting might have been good with a better script. So close to the Predator film it is funny;

This includes the one small female in with truck sized male commandos, deep jungles, mowing down of said jungle while shooting at the invisible " predator" character. They even hear the Predator howl in pain in the distance while it is repairing itself.

The female commando is smart and capable, and takes no c*** from the men.

Some of the dialog is amusing but the whole film tends to be a gore/shoot/stab feast and overly Macho.

When this started off I noticed a few goofs like a sergeant wearing a dress uniform in the field and scientists wearing lab coats in the middle of a lake( they're scientists so how else will we know?) All of these problems just faded away when I got into the main body of the film and saw what a shameless copy of Predator it really was. Die Hard has had its copiers but they at least tried to add something new to the formula but this is obviously a quick slapdash, turn it out as quickly and cheaply as possible movie. The script, effects and acting are all as you'd expect.

One thing I think I noticed, at one point they seem to have swapped guns, like they threw them in a pile at the end of filming Friday and just picked up the first to hand on Monday morning.

Now, I had never actually heard about this 2011 movie. So I didn't know what I was in for here. Nor did I peruse IMDb prior to watching the movie, as to not spoil anything.

And boy what a surprise "Flesh Wounds" turned out to be.

I wonder if writer Gabriel Saint and director Dan Garcia were sued over this 2011 dumpster fire of a movie. It was a blatant rip-off of the classic 1987 movie "Predator". But not in a good and enjoyable way. No, this movie was atrocious, sort of think you ordered the "Predator" movie off of Wish and then received "Flesh Wounds".

It is a amazing that a movie so openly ripping off the 1987 movie was greenlit and made it to see the light of day.

The storyline in "Flesh Wounds" is pretty straightforward, sure. But it was hard to take it serious, given the fact that this was "Predator" on a shoestring budget, and with terrible effects to top it off.

Just why actors Kevin Sorbo and Bokeem Woodbine opted to star in "Flesh Wounds" is simply beyond my comprehension. But I guess a pay cheque is a pay cheque. The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, taking into consideration what this movie turned out to be. However, just keep in mind that you're not in for any award-winning performances.

The special effects in "Flesh Wounds" were exactly that; special.

"Flesh Wounds" is a terrible movie, make no mistake. But I am sure that there are some hardcore Kevin Sorbo fans out there that revel in seeing their idol in a movie leeching off of "Predator".

I wasn't impressed with director Dan Garcia's movie, though I did manage to make it to the very end. But truth be told, it was simply just to see how much they could manage to rip-off "Predator" and turn it into a low budget mockery of a sci-fi action movie.

My rating of "Flesh Wounds" lands on a two out of ten stars.
