Sunray: Fallen Soldier

This is a mix of US movies.

Ex SAS with PTSD, has nothing to live for, until his daughter overdoses smoking heroin.

Then, he has a reason to get up and do what he's trained to do.

After all, these hardened warriors feel more comfortable with a gun, and somebody to shoot at.

This is just a derivative of John Wick and a few other movies.

Get the team back together.

Take care of business.

Get hardware!

Use saud hardware to go to town... in the UK.

Taken was the other movie, but 1 man took on a gang, empty handed!

I do prefer "getting the team back together!" It makes half decent viewing, but it feels so derived! It feels like we've already seen this exact movie, countless times!

So don't get too excited at the idea of this movie. Because it's somebody else's! It's just a mish-mash of John Wick and Taken. Only with a team of 4.

Small, unimpressive "twist" at the end to make it slightly different?

No... it's the same. John Wick is full of bullets in all of those movies.

Sorry. British rip off of American movies.

And I hate to break the 4th wall, but this is England! If a bunch of people had been executed, shot in the head! It'd be front page news. There'd be police everywhere.

Especially if there had been a Paslode first fix nail gun incident, that would also be front page news.

But, suspension of blah blah blah...

Whatever.

Watch it, you'll probably think the same thing.

I really pushed myself to finish this film as I am a huge supporter of indie film productions. The entirety of the film was dragging and the acting/casting was decent enough. Costume design was kind of off but I didn't really expect much from that department. Story was okay, not stellar but not bad at all. From a cinematography standpoint: the lighting was not impressive (I understand; indie studios are on a budget as always) but that's to be expected. Furthermore, The girl's boyfriend's story somehow lacked in depth though. I wish that there was something more to what he was portraying. Overall, great job and well done with this work. I'd like to see more from this studio.

Considering as one reviewer has written this was filmed on a shoe string, through public funding via Kickstarter and none of of the guys involved really had experience in writing, directing or editing (to my knowledge), it's still a great small budget movie... Jesus if you want bad acting and inaccurate details, watch Dirty Angels and that had a far, far bigger budget..!

Honestly a great film, enjoyed the story, the characters and the mental health and PTSD sub-story which tied up the Fallen Soldier angle so well.

Considering these lads are Bootnecks and not Hollywood A listers with million $ budgets, I think they did a bang up job with what they had, and to think this TV Series come Film nearly never happened, I believe this is a true grit and adversity film on all fronts.

Showed British Soldiering well and told a story which is undoubtedly spoken, or should be spoken, by soldiers from all walks of life who have been through battle and come home lost...

Hoofin' geezers, well done.!

After seeing the 4.5 rating on IMDb, I thought this may just be another low budget action flick without the goods. Wow, was I wrong!

Lower budget it may be but this film hits with everything it tries to do. Way better than the majority of much larger budget films of a similar nature. The main character and his story are above what you get with much higher rated films on IMDb. Is this movie the equivalent of John Wick? Not quite. But it's certainly still an enjoyable film with decent acting and heart.

If you were like me and questioning whether or not to skip this one, give it a shot. You likely won't regret it.

Nice piece of work showing how the mind of ex-services persons can lead down a rabbit hole so to speak

Some of the conflict scenes very well shot and not a lot of this just run at the enemy nonsense you get from hollywood you can tell the team are ex services and have experienced combat.

Considering the budget and early stages of the teams career a very well put together film.

Some of the plot and supporting acting is a bit patchy but at least a 6 out of 10 but given a 7 as indy

Hoping the film does well, definitely worth a watch

Looking forward to the next works and future films with Tip.
