    This was the stupidest most exaggerated movie i have ever seen

    This movie looks like it was made my a combination of the United States government and the makers of the punisher.. The characters were simply awful. Bad acting combined with bad scripts made this a horrible watch. And the cocky attitude of everyone in this movie was disgusting.. They simple came across like rednecks who had seen too many war movies when they were kids.

    Exaggerated overdone scenes that were meant as a recruiting tool as far as i see and watching the movie was a true punishment... There you have it.. if you are looking for a good movie to watch, don't come near this movie.

    I obviously watched a different film.

    Unbelievable shoot-outs where all the bad guys poured fire at the good guys, missed, the good guys shot back and killed everyone, the bad moaned dramatically the same when hit. Bad guys in armoured vehicles with cannon faced the good guys behind logs with small arms and never-empty weapons, good guys won. Amateur script, awful direction, with every stereo-type on screen, from all the bad guys speaking accented English, being brutal and callous whilst the good guys played with kids. Factual errors; a normal SAS team is 4-man, not 2-man. Only saving grace was Scott Adkins final fight, which showcased his extraordinary skills but went on for too long.

    Another winner from Isaac Florentine and Nu Image

    (Preface: Don't confuse this "Special Forces" movie with the Daniel Bernhardt "Special Forces" movie!)

    I like movies from the Nu Image filmstudio, and I also like movies directed by action king Isaac Florentine, so I knew I had to watch this. I was not disappointed. I will freely admit that this movie is not perfect. The CGI effects are obvious and clunky. There is little written to differentiate the protagonists from each other, and the bad guys are stock characters. The dialogue is often very familiar. And a large part of the first half of the movie is really slow and drawn out.

    But there are more positive things about "Special Forces" than negative. It is slickly shot, with clear photography and good lighting. The Lithuania locations are well chosen, and dressed with enough props and extras to look realistic. But the best thing about the movie are the action sequences. A lot of money was obviously spent on ammo and explosive devices, and the various shootouts are really exciting. Even better are the martial art sequences - these sequences can stand proudly beside martial art sequences from Hong Kong films. And the last forty or so minutes of the movie are non-stop action - you'll be barely given time to breathe! Just be a little patient during the first half of the movie, and you'll be rewarded with enough mayhem to really pump your blood.

    Really one of the best film made about Special forces!!

    Because here is everything what Special forces soldier can show.Great shooting and good cover from bullets cover,excellent martial arts performance tragedy about getting as Hostage and be scared for live!OK the best what I liked it is the operations what was planed in night as cover of the dark.It's like real Special forces team.And they also disarmer the bad guys with martial arts because they are economic their bullets .That's cool.Bud thing what I unlike is enemy soldiers bad shooting technique's and bad choreography.But only of them only was good Zaman(Vladislavas Jacukevicius) and Hasib(Eli Danker) they showed some good shoots to the enemies but other soldiers can not hit any shoot.And Talbot(Scott Adkins)who arrived with impressive shoots and martial arts performance.It's looked excellent!! But here was Isaac Florentine one of the best of his films.He got old and known action stars.Who do't know Marshall Teague or also Tim Abell.But most best job in martial arts showed famous English action star Scott Adkins.Who's one of the best action stars today.Also I liked how stuntman Vladislavas Jacukevicius showed athletic moves in the film.But he can not get be famous maybe later.But in Special forces all mentioned or not guys showed excellent film about Special forces!!

    The only way to like it is being on drugs, heavy ones.

    This is certainly the most awful movie ever done. The action scenes are expensive and ridiculous, five guys fight an army in open field with a van.

    A helicopter is destroyed and the same army who did it can't destroy the van.

    The enemies jump in the air ridiculously when shot, a guy kills a lot of people with a punch in the stomach or opening a door strongly against them.

    The acting on this film is terrible, the direction is horrible.

    I'm out of adjectives, I've just seen it and came here to comment.

    I dare anyone to see the whole movie.
