Stratton

Right from the beginning this had a straight to DVD / TV feel to it. An excellent cast seem wasted and Connie Nielson is totally miscast with a horrible accent, I usually like her too. Like others have said, the action scenes are poor and the music was awful and brought nothing to the Film, maybe they didn't have the budget. At one point Chen's character mentions NATO rounds being 7.62, when they are now 5.56, but I am just being picky. Any way I lost interest after about 30 minutes. I have liked Simon West's movies in the past but he has seriously lost it of late. On the whole a Sub Par effort.

I like Simon West as a director and think he really know how to direct big dumb-fun action movie with some of the best i see from him in the past like:Con Air(one of my favorite Nic Cage movie) and The Expendables 2(The best of the trilogy).His new movie Stratton (2017) although is not as bad as people said but still a pretty meh movie at best.The plot is very genetic,there some good acting but still suffer from one dimensional character.Nice cinematography and few good action scene with clear shot is the only saving point for this movie.If you like past Simon West movie you will highly disappointed with this movie

I think in essence this could have been a very good film . One big problem which really ruined the whole thing was the very poor sound and a soundtrack that was so cheap lacklustre and corny , for me spoilt the whole film . One small plus was Derrick Jacobi who was a joy along with his accent

This film tells the story of a group of British and American intelligence officers, who carries out a secret mission to stop a man's plot of destroying a Court using weapon of mass destruction.

"Stratton" is a mainstream film, and it's a risk averse investment by the film producers. The characters are generic, the plot is formulaic and predictable, but it does entertain and help to kill time. It's not memorable, but it's not bad either.

Honestly this movie just felt like it was ticking off a checklist. Gun shoot out. check. Car chase. check. Underwater scene. check. It just kept going.

I went into the film with a good expectation especially from such a well known cast, but it fell flat. No chemistry among the cast, Dominic Cooper just didn't have the presence or physicality you would expect of a SBS Agent. The villain was underwhelming and even at the end of the film I'm still not sure what the motive was.

Even with all the great locations and scenery, it couldn't carry the bland and unimaginative story line. Do not watch.
