No Limite Do Inferno

OK - so the characters were stereotyped, some of the acting wasn't very good, the comedy scenes were clichéd, the plot was predictable and the film had nothing new to say, but -

• the aerial shots were terrific!

What may seem interesting, this movie contains some scenes that seem (almost) identical to corresponding fragments of "Navy SEALs". These include, among others:

• parachute jumps from an airplane to water (in the middle of "Navy SEALs", at the beginning of "Desert thunder")

• camera look over a "Near East port" in the night: a jeep is coming out of a gate and then some men in uniforms follow;

• commando attack on port buildings in order to free some people from the terrorist hands.

It seems more interesting if we consider that the films were directed by different people and even the scenario was written by not the same man.

If some scenes look familiar and feel out of place it's because they are, this movie uses footage from both Navy Seals and Iron Eagle. Anything of its own making is poorly put together and at times frustratingly bad. Most of the movie is taken up by the misfit bunch of characters goofing around, falling out, and eating lunch. The basic story is simple and could have been decent if told well, but this movie just feels cheap and lazy.

This movie is one of the worst movies ever made. It is not just bad, it is so bad that i just had to watch it until the end because i was stunned by just how much a movie can suck. I sincerely can't believe that there were people that invested their money into THIS. I also find it hard to believe that there are 10 people that rated this movie "10" on IMDb. It was probably the director and some members of his family or something.

To summarize, there is absolutely NOTHING good to point out in the entire movie. The plot is extra-unoriginal and seen in slightly different shapes a billion times. The direction is even poorer, because usually movies similar to this one are in a few moments exciting, but this one is dull the entire time. The acting is also a bad joke. I can't believe someone managed to make such a lousy movie.

Yes, it's just like a James Bond movie, except:

even more implausible plot

bad guys can't act

good guys can't act

both are annoying anyway

or maybe it's just the script (there WAS one?)

humor isn't as good

cheap special effects

no suspense, no big ending

Seriously, I walked out of the room for a minute, came back to find the credits scrolling. I had no idea that just before that I had been watching the great ending.... there wasn't any!

The special effects all look the same - like barrels of gasoline blowing up (or whatever that frequently-used explosion effect is). It doesn't matter what's blowing up -- plane, building, car, outhouse. It looks like they built really cheap props and then just put exploding barrels in everything.

They talk about things that would sound like good effects, only you never see them because they would be too expensive to do. For example, you see a surface-to-air missile launcher sitting there. Then you hear the pilot say that there's missiles heading towards him and he takes evasive action (or maybe just talks about taking evasive action -- don't remember). Then you see the missile launcher blowing up (see paragraph above). But you never see the missile launch or fly towards the plan, because that's a more difficult effect.

And so on. But if you're really bored and like simple scripts and lots of things blowing up in a not too spectacular fashion, this movie isn't so bad.
