Mind-numbingly boring film,the 'name actors' must have been paid a shed full of money to appear in this tedious drivel, there can be no other reason to perform in this 1/10 nonsense. There is not one redeeming feature, the plot is overused and has large gaps in continuity, camera-work is amateur and at best bland, everyone looks and acts bored. Script is beyond a joke - what a waste of so much talent on a vehicle that is this boring. Rutger Hauer etc should sack their agents for getting them involved in this, it was so embarrassing to watch I actually felt myself squirming as each ridiculous line was delivered and each plot gap widened by cutting to a scene which didn't follow on from the storyline, such as it were. Do not waste time or money watching this, you will regret it.

The audience will find it tortuous trying to decipher the point of Glover and Baldwin's rebel 'mission'. The rebel opposition consists of a group of pseudo-military types led by Rutger Hauer. I'm not sure if the clownish attempt at acting like soldiers was due to the writers thinking it unnecessary to pay for technical consulting, or perhaps that really is how Italian soldiers work. Hauer appears in a state of constant obliviousness (which is reasonable, given the script). Thin plots don't really bother me as long as there is a little bit of good acting, a character to root for, or at least entertaining action scenes. This movie, having none of those things, is utterly unappealing and thoroughly boring. The script was completely incomprehensible. The actors never had a chance with this big steamy turd.

Seriously? Never in my mind I thought that such a cast would play in what I call the worst movie of the year. Acting was horrible. Story was non existent.
What made Rutger, Glover and Madsen play in this catastrophe? I don't mention the other actors, since they are not really actors. Baldwins' performance was no better than his other movies. Hannah should have stopped at "Mermaid". Maybe a free trip to Italy was the motivation?
Boring and tasteless. The director should quit and retire, the script writer should get a job as a ... anything else but script writing. The editor should be a janitor.
A complete shame to the industry. 2047 makes any "B" movie look like an Oscar.

If your real life is boring like hell, and you watch this film, your life suddenly looks much brighter. I agree with the first writer that the actors were in need for pesos, or lira, as this film is Italian. It is actually in the tradition of the cheap Spaghetti western of the 70s, with a script not worth then name, likely made by a director using a fake name. Neva Leoni is the only one not selling herself below worth, as she is new, but the others should be ashamed. Rutger Hauer and Daryll Hannah (both from Blade Runner fame) are so far away from any decent acting, and that's how they want to be remembered, with crap like this film? Broke or desperate, or both.

Seriously!? How on earth did these actors agree to make this abomination!? I actually stuck with it in the belief that things must get better! I mean Rutger Hauer, Danny Glover, Michael Madson, Daryll Hannah, Steven Baldwin! You look at that cast and think, wow, this has got to be pretty good, I think i'll go down to HMV and buy it. The WORST mistake of my life! Honestly! I will never get back those 2 hours of my life ever again! The plot was non-existent and the acting.. What acting!! This isn't even a 1 Star, it's not even half a star! The writer, screenplay guy and director should be banned from making films for life! There is no reprieve, it just gets worse and worse. My DVD says this film is called 'Death Squad', I think the actors must've forced them to change the title so when people look it up online they can't find anything because they are that embarrassed of this abomination being associated with them

This is a terrible movie and everyone involved, from actors to directors should be ashamed of themselves. This movie involved people who were in Reservoir Dogs, Lethal Weapon, Kill Bill but this movie is nothing like any of these. This movie is less interesting than the credits of these movies. This movie is terrible, the acting is trash, the plot is incoherent, the props were done by the high school art class and the director was obviously drunk most of the time. There are some good actors in this movie, or rather actors who have done good work in their careers. This is not that good work. I don't know how they became involved in this, guess everyone has to pay the bills. Seriously, don't go here. It is as entertaining as a drunk in an alleyway and smells worse.

It brings a shiver to my spine to see the likes of Rutger Hauer, Danny Glover, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and Daniel Baldwin appear in such a low-budget, poorly created ensemble. I think of movies they were in like Blade Runner, Predator 2, Kill Bill, etc. and it amazes me these actors have fallen so low in their careers that they would even sign on to a D- list production such as this.
This is a high-school or community-college film-making class gone wrong - with former big-name actors in it. I am bewildered and confused by this whole train-wreck. Please stay away from this movie- it will leave you questioning your sanity and the future of film-making, in general. I have to go and drink a 5th of vodka now - so I can hopefully wipe out the brain cells that contain these sad memories.

So everyone's at Madsen's getting high as hell. Hannah is swinging off a chandelier slamming mermaid-tinis, whilst Glover has been on the sofa doing balloons for days. Then boom, one of the Baldwin brothers and that guy from Baderunner find a hundred pills from the early 90s. The party gets shipped to Italy with Glover on the sofa and all. After a week the comedown of we're all doomed begins; they have a look in the mirror and this turgid nonsense is created.
CGI wise it's like thy decided that Sayonara Jupiter meets Home and Away was the epitome of model/set design and recreated it. The production is so bad it's just bad.
The acting is depressing. You start wondering why Steven Segal didn't get the main role to give it more life. How low can we go? The rest are a joke as well. The only actor who gets away with anything is the girl in red who doesn't say a word. She's like that unfortunate really smart and fit South American girl that turns up in a dysfunctional sociopathic house share in Bethnal Green or some other arse-end of London.
Someone should edit this with only shots of the red girl with some Gregorian chanting music and turn it into a soft porn spiritual healing mind retreat. Sights of heavenly salami.

Given the names of some of the actors attached to this film, I had some hope that the film would prove to be an uncovered gem. Now I hope its buried so deep no one will ever find it. Everything about this film is sub par. The dialogue is so bad it made me wish I was watching a silent film. It is hard to comprehend why a movie focused on the future, made in 2014, would showcase technology that was outdated by nearly a decade by the time the film was made. I followed it through to the end hoping it would improve. It didn't. There were only three women in the film. All were objectified and were victims of violent assault. The best part of this movie was reaching the very end of the credits. If I see any of those names listed on a film, again, I will immediately change the channel.

Possibly a cry for help, the film is essentially a window into a sick mind. In addition to all of that, is boring. Whomever made this should be embarrassed for themselves. Shooting a prostitute in the face with a shotgun immediately after performing oral services? That's your idea of entertainment? Tells me all I need to know about the depravity and limited artistic ability of its makers.
Not only did I not make it through the entire film. Lasted maybe 10 - 20 minutes. This abomination deserves to be blotted from memory and wiped from the face of the earth. If you made this film, or remotely enjoyed it, consider that you may be in need of psychological help.

From the beginning scene up to the end credits I was hooked on this movie. The story line was absolutely brilliant. The deaths, and how the deaths occurred throughout the movie was written flawlessly.
I easily can see this movie becoming a cult legend in the next few years.
If not sooner.
Some people might consider this movie to be a "B" movie, but I already consider it to be a master piece.
Congrats to the writers and director.
And especially the actors.
Who without them, this movie wouldn't be as great as it is.

"Stop being so..... sexy", muttered by a clearly crying-on-the-inside Rutger Hauer, is the only good thing about this movie, and mostly because it is so bizarre coupled with the fact that Mr. Hauer just want to be anywhere else, in that moment.
The plot twist in the end, renders the whole movie even worse, as the mysterious red girl, is the only remotely interesting part of this movie. Her purpose and story might have moved it to a small 2 stars. Alas, it all just fell flat. Very flat.
Writing, direction, editing, and acting are all atrocious. And unfortunately not bad in a fun way. Just plain bad. It seems to think it is a Pandorum, cult sci-fi, but instead it is any Uwe Boll movie, then beyond.
Can not be recommended to watch, if you value your time.

Now I have seen some total rubbish films, especially on the Syfi channel in the afternoons, how many disaster movies can there be with the lone American saving the world? However this one takes the golden Turkey prize. I wont go into the plot, or lack of one, it's a rehash of better ones you've seen in the past.
I find it hard to believe these respected actors needed the money so badly they had to be involved, well maybe Darryl Hannah did. Her performance was comical, when she first came on the screen wearing that hat I nearly chocked with laughter, is this a spoof movie I thought? Sadly no, I tried for almost an hour to find something redeeming, perhaps the script looked better on paper than it did when it hit the screen.
Avoid at all costs!

This is a must see for just 10 minutes. Hang around if you wish. The cast is truly stellar. Every aging actor was a household name at some point and a bona fide star. One has to wonder whether they all met at AA or debtor's anonymous and they just needed the money. This movie sets the all time record for wasted talent, horrible music, laughable script and just must be seen to be believed.
Daryl Hannah is virtually unrecognizable, appearing to have injected her lips with all the fat from Kim K's butt. Rutger Hauer, like Daryl and Madsen and Baldwin all seem like they are working out of the old age home, too tired to convincingly recite their lines. It's an effort, every line. And let's not forget Danny Glover.
I took a look at the director. He has virtually no credits. How on earth did this guy con 5 world famous actors into doing this film? He and the writers have maybe a dozen credits for Italian short films. One has to wonder whether this represents the acting group that blew all their money on cocaine. Why else would they stoop so low so as to agree to do a film that is this preposterously ridiculous? It was a disaster you could see from just reading the first few pages of the script. Yes, it really is that bad.

2047: A Sight for Death, or Death Squad as it's also known ran into trouble straight away with me. The first very early problem with this film was Danny Glover's narration. Now I like Danny Glover as an actor and thought he was fantastic in the Lethal Weapon films, but the first 5 minutes consist of him mumbling random and incoherent dialogue. Worse still, most of his narration seems to actually be used to act as a framework for the story. I actually listened to his narration at the start twice and still didn't understand all of it. This might be one of the reasons why I couldn't get involved with the film because I felt like I never really knew what was going on??
Had this been the only issue then I probably would still recommend it, but the truth is that this film is so mind-numbingly boring. Once Ryan arrives, we see him sulking around and then we witness him playing a rather dull and tedious game of cat and mouse with the mercenaries. It just seemed to lack any sort of spark or imagination and was just tiresome and predictable.
The writers clearly weren't interested in providing the audience with any sort of semblance of an intelligent screenplay, which in itself isn't a bad thing if they would have at least made the film entertaining. The fact that the film is both boring and uninteresting means that they've actually created a film that isn't for 'anyone' rather than one that isn't for 'everyone'.
Many of the performances reflect the overall quality of the film with Baldwin & Hannah being the worst offenders. The former is a large piece of wood, devoid of charm or charisma who certainly isn't the kind of character you'd care for or root for. The latter is just plain bad and unconvincing. Hauer fares better, but that's not saying much. Madsen was ridiculous and terrible, but at least he looked like was having fun here and this does sort of translate on-screen, but this alone is not strong enough to make it worth watching.
Death Squad is an insufferable mess that lacks intelligence and is just downright boring. Even it's pathetic IMDb score of 2.5 is far too generous. It's a film that should be erased from existence.

Everything about this film is appalling, the actors have a catalog of work which I think we all have at least one DVD from each in our homes (other than Stephen Baldwin) yet the acting in this film is abysmal! Baldwins acting is so bad, I mean truly shockingly awful you have to watch with one eye closed to save half of your brain from the torture.
The moment Daryl Hannah stomps around in her military uniform complete with stacks of floppy bedraggled hair going in all directions from under her beret you just know this film has not attention to detail or direction.
To be brutally honest... I couldn't watch all of it, Stephen Baldwin took to speaking in a low gravely Batman voice for the close scenes and his visual acting, tilting his head and giving far away looks were something out of a kids Christmas production.
There is nothing to like about this film, if you're an aspiring actor though you MUST watch this and never repeat anything you see.

I agree with all the comments that gave this horrific mess one star. This is really just to warn you that the Japanese title is "Into the Mission". So if you live in Japan, steer clear!!! Honestly, people should be paid to watch this. No wonder it has a different title in every country!
I have seen my share of bad movies but this may be the worst How did they get 2 A list stars (Danny Glover and Daryl Hannah) plus 2 B list stars (Michael Madsen and Rutger Hauer) to be in this horrible movie. Any movie with Stephen Baldwin should be suspect since all the talent went to his brother Adam. It consists of darkly lit scenes of actors sitting at tables shuffling papers ( possibly the script) Absolutely awful do not waste your time. There are a lot of really bad movies and Sci Fi seems to have a large share of really bad movies. But in today's environment a movie with no special effects is a disaster. Oh there are a couple of bad effects but they did not spend any money on effects. All the money had to go to the top 4 stars.
The movie is not for everyone. The problem is that today's movies are composed of shine, tinsel. This movie is not the pinnacle of wisdom, but it is closer to reality, in which scary view of today's people. Was I a scientist I'd wrote: "Total infantilism as an attempt to escape from the terrible reality".
This isn't iron man and other dregs swallow. Keep staring into their smart phones and see you on the road (If you know what I mean ;) )
Here writes little lines, let me remind you: brevity-sister of talent. There is much talk about the play actors and about missteps, but better watch the essence. The fact I posted above. Therefore, the rating of films have low, they did not entertain a flock.
Just to remind you: the truth-she's the one.

Sponge (Danny Glover) and Willburn (Stephen Baldwin) work in a rebel organisation called Green War. They are fighting against an oppressive government that has caused radioactive poisoning of much of the world, in this movie represented by Colonel Asimov (Rutger Hauer), Major Anderson (Daryl Hannah) and their mercenary leader Lobo (Michael Madsen). When Willburn meets a radiation survivor in the ruins, Tuag (Neva Leoni), she has a few surprises for him while Asimov's men start chasing them...
Of course the stars' agents weren't born yesterday and know what garbage they are getting their hands on, hence they are likely to request minimal workload for their protégés: shoot 2 days, take the check and say goodbye. Accordingly, Glover gets a role where he just sits in front of computers in a dark office, while Rutger Hauer walks around in a cheap uniform (watch the stripes almost fall off), talking to Daryl Hannah who stands around with a blank expression. Madsen enjoys being Madsen under any circumstances, thus the only one I feel sorry for is Neva Leoni, because she shows talent and a creative performance which is utterly wasted here.
