The Mercenary

Here we have a pretty decent action flick. Coreographies and action scenes are pretty well done. On the other hand weak plot or script, but who cares on an action B movie. Overall a good one if you're in the mood of watching some action.

I did not like the beginning of this movie. But after main character Max gets to the priest it kinda picks up and gets better.

When you are in the mood for mindless action and bloodshed this one might be the right choice.

It's not per se a very good movie, but also not as bad as some make you believe.

Do not expect a big budget Hollywood action flick and perhaps you will like this one.

This is what I call talent free acting. lol........

Maxx (Dominiquie Vandenberg) is a member of a mercenary military squad led by LeClerc. They battle Islamic terrorists in Africa and the Middle East. During a raid on a drug cartel in Colombia, Maxx tries to protect a local from a rapist mercenary. Maxx has his throat slashed and left for dead. Without a voice, he is nursed back to health by Father Elias and his congregation. He even joins the Father until his past revisits him.

It's an action B-movie. It's solid for what it is but it doesn't have the it which could elevate this to something more. It doesn't have the charismatic lead. Vandenberg seems to come from the stunt world and has a good look for a villain. He's basically Michael Ironside without the good guy charms. He doesn't have the sly fun. The action is solid shooting action and some fight action. It's nothing spectacular and it's as big as the limited budget would allow. It's mindless action without any wow factor.

Sooo cheaply made. So childish. Even scripts are bad. Action the worst. Story line 1st Grade Drama. Wasted my money.
