Tank 432

I'm so sick of finding movies on Netflix that are rated 4 stars or more, and in reality, are nothing higher than zero. In this case, that rating has to be false as no viewer with half a brain would rate it more than a 1, if that? My God, what an awful movie. There's not much I can add that hasn't already been written. Disastrous plot, terrible acting, atrocious dialog, etc., etc. I still have no idea what was going on, or why. And to top it off, I don't care! Avoid this at all cost.

The acting was fair, Gordon Kennedy keeps popping up, but having seen the ending coming a mile off after 10 minutes I only watched to the end for the slim chance of being proved wrong. I was not. The film started off mysteriously, asking the viewer to draw their own plot lines with weak special effects and oddball performances. Too much too soon. Perhaps it was my own fault for watching 'Darkest Day' about a month previous and expecting something different, nothing was - except the acting which was immensely improved but pi**ed away by the tired old plot. Shot with competence but no real flair for suspense, character building or even editing the film promised far more than it had to give.

I tried

Given writer, Nick Gillespie's pedigree (e.g. Kill List, Sightseers) I was hopeful of an entertaining story.

The film starts with a "jolt"; five minutes in I found myself reaching for the DVD box to read the synopsis, in order to try and "work out" what the opening point of the film was (the box confirmed - I can't think of a time I've ever had to do this before in all my years of watching films, though).

What followed for the rest of the film somewhat reminded me of being a participant of a paint-balling contest, without the "excitement" of actually being there.

This is certainly a step backwards from previous efforts, perhaps, due to budget constraints?

Without spoiling the ending, I'd just say that whilst Kill List left you pondering things, this one just doesn't seem to mean anything at all; to me anyway.

Hopefully the next film will be better.

Like others, I created an account just so I could review this movie.

You're dropped into the story somewhere in the middle, with no clue what is going on. Made no sense at all, I kept watching with hopes that the story would come about. It never did.

Please do not watch this garbage. Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.

Obviously, a low budget, but that a bad film does not make. The direction and acting are not bad at all and actually have some very effective sequences, but they are loaded in the movie's first half. It's the script that is the culprit and it almost seems like the screenwriter ran out of ideas or time or something.

Don't be fooled by the first 30 minutes, which are ferocious, dynamic, mysterious and very promising. Sadly, it goes downhill very rapidly and does not recover, descending into paralysis and repetition. The ending is totally disappointing.
