Bomb Squad

This movie plays like a made-for-TV pilot for one of the kid's channels. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad movie, but for $12,000 you can't expect too much.

The acting is pretty wooden by just about everyone and the story feels like it's missing about half of what it needed so that you'd care about anyone. For something done as cheaply as this the effects are really pretty good (much better then most every movie made for Syfy). If this were a TV pilot I'd probably watch a few episodes to see if it were going to get any better. The movie ends like there might be a sequel. I don't see there being a big demand for it, but for 12K there probably will be.

Hopefully they'll get a big enough budget next time so they can include acting lessons.

This is exactly what is wrong with this site. Look at the other people who have reviewed this film and raved about it. This is the ONLY film that ANY of them have ever reviewed. This movie cost $12,000 to make, and it shows...badly. In this age, for a REAL film, $12,000 is about what the catering service gets paid. The expression, "You get what you pay for" seems to have fallen on deaf ears of these people and now they are trying to generate excitement the new-fashioned way, by logging on with different screen names and trying to polish their $12,000 turd into an emerald, one fake review at a time. While I've seen worse films, those were mostly high school student projects using Super-8 film cameras.

Coming out as an independent film, I expected this movie to be very spotty and missing a lot of detail. The movie left open enough room for not only a second movie which would be absolutely phenomenal but they may also choose a prequel if ever wished upon.

Likes I had about this movie include its well rounded story line which was focused on a single center focus while each scene added suspense to what the next move was going to be. Also, the emotional aspect behind each character as more spread out.

I feel this film could have added a little more outside dynamic such as outdoor interaction, but for a film that cost approximately $12,000 to make, I am in awe to its greatness.

Watched this film on prime, not brilliant but watchable. Special effects not to bad considering the budget. May be a sequal coming?

There are those who would disagree, but with only a $12,000 budget, I wouldn't consider this a B movie. It is well done and leaves me wanting to see a sequel. I am also fiftyish, have collected comic books, and grew up on 50's and 60's sci-fi. This movie is as good as any other movie of its genre with bigger budgets. Nick Chamberlin could very well be the Roger Corman of today (2011 until...). The acting could have been better, although I thought that the general and the captain were good. The script is as good as it can be and is well thought out. It is surprising that Bomb Squad is crafted so well with practically no money. It is a must watch for any budding filmmaker out there. They do not have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a good film.
