Project 12: The Bunker

Proof that there are good low budget movies out there!

As a streaming movie junkie I have viewed and written a lot of 'low budget' films, and given more than my share of low stars. Thank god I found this one, it has renewed my faith in the industry segment!

OK, the good. FINALLY a pretty solid script. SOO much better than you expect from a low budget film. In fact I thought about 6 stars, but then you are getting into main stream theater level quality, and it was just not quite there. But very close.

The actors actually knew their trade and proved it time and again. I will be watching out for almost the entire cast in the future. They knew how to hold guns, pull off 'stings', everything.

This is one I would highly recommend. Yeah, even for a 2nd tier theater viewing, but probably better for a movie night with some beers and the guys and gals (but not the kiddies).

Spare yourselves the time wasted on this terrible movie. Some reasonable acting but the script is unoriginal, the effects dire, and the directing is all over the place. At the start I thought this was an 80's spoof cold war movie, expecting it to be a comedy, but it takes itself far too seriously and falls down after 20 minutes.

Before watching this I superficially checked the IMDB rating and found it at 6.7 which is decent for an action movie. At about 1/3 to half of the movie I started to get anxious about when the good part of the movie would begin. Alas, with each minute it just got worse. Somehow I made it to the end, frustrated and wondering what people see in this crap to rate it that high. And till the last sevond hoping for the best in the perception of the human beings, thinking - now the good part must begin... or - the ending must be unbelievably breathtaking surprise... Nope.

Then took a peek into the IMDB again, my bad, it's a different movie titled the Bunker..... This crap was rated at 3.4

Folks, don't waste your time. No one will give you it back.

The film is a great action thriller very entertaining. In my opinion, also knowing the limited resources the project had, is quiet well done. I guess the idea is original and believable and if the setting is in the past, is bringing back to the reality an ideological conflict which is not yet over: even more, is very actual, unfortunately.

Jaime with really limited contacts, basically no support and by living in a remote island in the Atlantic as Tenerife, is achieving step by step a level of quality production which I find amazing compared to the relatively low production cost.

I wish him success for his career and looking forward to his next movies.

I really do not understand... Cr@p movies like "Inception" get a 10/10 and this movie only gets a 3.7/10, seriously??? There is nothing truly special about this movie, but it is very well done and very entertaining! I've seen so much bad movies that were really bad indeed, this one was actually pretty good, well paced, with a modest sense of humour... very underrated! It was quite entertaining, against all my expectations. I am glad I watched it!!! Again nothing really out of the ordinairy, but if all "bad" movies were as good as this one, then I'd be able to enjoy them all without fear of wasting hours of precious life time... Kudos, I really enjoyed it, and for that a 10/10...
