Operação Águia: Ponto De Impacto

I like Mark Dacascos from Cradle to the Grave, but he was so much better in that movie. here is is just another emotionless grunt with some hoo yahs.

The fact that there are no memorable quotes from this film is indication that there was no memorable dialog. There wasn't much dialog at all. It was just a bunch of shooting and some martial arts (very little).

It actually seemed to be a vehicle for Theresa Randle (Bad Boys, Girl 6) to show how tough she could be. OK, you're tough. Now get some lines that are worth remembering.

THE HUNT FOR EAGLE ONE: CRASH POINT is the follow up to the original HUNT FOR EAGLE ONE film. These are war movies starring B-movie action hero Mark Dacascos and shot in the Philippines by long-time exploitation producers Roger Corman and Cirio H. Santiago. The first film was a drivelling mess of badly-directed nonsense, but to my surprise this sequel isn't too bad.

Let's get this straight, however: by mainstream standards, this is poor. The storyline is hackneyed and predictable and the direction is hardly adequate. In addition, the acting is wooden across the board, including that of Theresa Randle (who returns from the first outing) and newcomer Jeff Fahey, who should know better.

Even so, this is mildly entertaining to a degree. There's a greater emphasis on close quarter combat than in the first film, including a couple of decent fights between Dacascos and various villains. The violence has also been amped up, making this more of an all-round guy's flick. Hardly what I could call good, solid entertainment but it passes the time if you're in the mood.

I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. My friends and I made a night of it and rented a bunch of these sorts of b-movies, and I have to say this is better than the original "hunt for eagle one." yeah, the plot is laughable at points, but it isn't a badly made movie- like, the music is cool, and the direction seems good. I really liked Mark Dacascos - he's better here than on Iron Chef America. Theresa Randle was good too. Nice seeing a tough girl rather than a victim.

Yeah, like kungfu said the random additions of nightly news shots and the CGI are pretty bad. They don't really serve any purpose, unless you wanted to make a drinking game out of the movie. But whenever the actors are actually in the action and they don't have to use cartoon planes to show what's going on, it's pretty thrilling. I liked the beginning sequence, it got me hooked.

Basically, this is a fun movie. It's not Saving Private Ryan, but it's still has it's good points. When you want something escapist, you can't go wrong with this.

A huge disappointment for any Mark Dacascos fan. Very little martial arts, just a lot of gun play and that is not why I watch Mark. We want to see shades of "The Base" and "Drive". This was a let down. That said, Mark can act and he does well given the script and the actors he has to work with. The action is pretty good if you like gun fights. The story is fun too, actually kind of clever in a impossible sort of way.

The effects range from B right down to Z. But as I said the action is a solid B, its just not the sort of action I expect from Mark. I hope he starts doing marshal art based action movies again soon. He has too much talent to waste on this sort of project.

Simply put. This movie is absolute garbage. There is zero military accuracy whatsoever. There are all kinds of giant plot holes, holes so large you can drive a Mack Truck through. Everything is completely wrong with this movie from top to bottom. If I had to see one more piece of stock footage of that aircraft carrier or the jets flying to nowhere in particular, I think I would have vomited.

Before you say to yourself, "This guy just hates it because he was in the Marines", let me explain: I can handle an inaccuracies in "military" movies, but honestly, I can't think of one thing they did right except for maybe calling their superiors "Sir".

This film is a stinker. Don't even rent it on a lark, do not watch it if you see it coming on cable. You'll be dying to get the time you spent watching it back.
