    Torture to sit through

    Oh when oh when will I learn not to let my absolute adoration of Lance Henrikson make me sit through even extremely bad films Ie. pretty much anything post-"Millennium". This brain-dead little number is no different. Attempting to tie a Iraq war film with a supernatural ghost story may work on paper, but this is not paper and the result is an absolute mess that's nearly unwatchable. Bad acting, bad special effects, incoherent storyline. One can go right down the list of bad film-making 101 and put checks down it. The sad thing is I KNOW this won't be the last movie I watch from Henrikson, i still believe the guy rocks. But it will be the last Roel Reine flick that I watch.

    My Grade: D-

    DVD Extras: Director's commentary; One night on the set; Alternate opening; deleted scenes; Trailer for this movie; and trailers for "War, Inc.", "Player 5150", "Day of the Dead", "Three Days to Vegas", "Jack & Jill Vs. the World", "the Amateurs", & "Rockaway"

    Blackops with Lance Henriksen

    While the movie starts off strong, good background, decent acting and suspenseful script..... it kinda heads south about midway. The scene where the female, girl soldier gets all bloody was OK, until she had to have a shower in the middle of murder, deaths, and Kaos ..... Who does that? Then the plot slowly fades till the end with more deaths and her glowing eyes......I'm still trying to grasp what transpired... Not a clear ending. I've played through it several times and i just sort of made up my own ending. Seems the script writers just went on break and never came back. Sad, because this could have been so much more.

    Poor filming.

    Well, to say that BLACK OPS (a.k.a DEAD WATER) is Oscar gold would probably anger a lot of people who have seen it, but for me as a horror fan, it was like watching a movie with my TV turned off, everything that mainly took place in dark areas you couldn't see and the places that were supposed to be well lit, seemed like the light was cast by using very cheap bed lamps, honestly the lighting effects in this film are so poor adjusting your TV's contrast makes it look like your watching a fog bank, the storyline is uninteresting, plainly put, the acting seems decent but the dialog was poor so the acting is more shallow Overall, If you don't like a movie that mainly takes place in the dark and don't have an interesting storyline, well try something else of course.

    Awful!

    Even taking into account that this is low-budget, Black Ops is truly a horrendous pile of steaming crap. Watch this at your own peril. The film combines an element of supernatural horror and an action/adventure military flick, but fails on both counts.

    There are better films that touch on the same current topic of Middle Eastern terrorism and the use of torture and extraordinary rendition. There are also numerous horror movies that are infinitely more satisfying.

    The camera work and audio are crisp and professional-grade. The storyline, dialogue and acting are not.

    1 star out of 10.

    This movie would be good if...

    the script was rewritten and the film re-shot.

    The acting was watchable but the dialog was pretty blasé.

    The director must have blown his budget in the first 20 minutes of gore because after that it was "let's turn the lights down real low so no one can see anything and generate some fear that way." Although the cast only had one woman, they still found a way to have a scene with her naked in the shower. If that doesn't speak volumes about this film, maybe you will enjoy it.

    I wont spoil it for you with details but the ending sucks. You'll be able to guess what happens at the end by 0:30 in (military time).

    Don't waste your time here, watch Outpost again... it's the same story done on a ship...
