Sunray: Fallen Soldier

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.!

A great first film. Great innovating - great story - loved the weapons drills and fight scenes and bootneck slang.

Well done lads - you got in there and did the work and you should be proud of it!

Loved the stunts and interesting twist at the end!

Huge respect and shout out to our forces - thanks for everything you do!

Watch and support this film and offer constructive feedback or just don't comment - it's pretty epic to see it get made and with limited budget to getting picked up and released by apple tv!

An entertaining watch and a phenomenal first effort!

Go check it out for yourselves!

A tough violent movie that is hard to watch at times. It certainly does not glamorise military life,but shows the after effects of deployment in conflict zones, that lives on in their lives on discharge. The comradery no longer there,and as a result the fall into a life of loneliness, anger with their thoughts playing on their minds and no outlet except in many cases drifting into crime. However, when the comradery returns and an outlet and counselling is there,well it just might help. But the built up anger over years of combat in theatres of conflict can have devastating consequences for veterans as displayed in this film.

Went into this film expecting a degree of low budget film-isms, and finished it very impressed with how the film as a whole turned out. Great cinematography, very authentic feeling military persons interactions (unlike most high budget films), well portrayed characters (as far as I'm aware some of the actors are quite fresh in the acting world), and a very strong sound track, all put together, directed and edited very well.

The film does lack a little in some of the effects departments (due to what I assume is a very small budget), but makes up for it with the camera work.

In the end the story was great and enjoyably unpredictable.

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.
