Search and Destroy

From the poor acting to the punchy storyline, this film has all the hallmarks of a tongue-n-cheek film. I had to go back and confirm it was listed as a comedy. When I read Action, this review needed to be written.

Seriously, this is beyond bad. Our "US Army Rangers" (in Africa in the Past!... Really?) start off in quite a predicament being pinned down by a Ukrainian warlord and his band of 'international terrorists'. When he calls for air support, we first see what appear to be Bulgarian MiG-29s taking off. Switch to a cockpit view, and the flyboys are wearing Apache Gunship (read helicopter) type helmets and sights. Switch back to the aircraft bearing down on the bad guys and instead of the MiGs, there's a pair of Sukhoi Frogfoots.

Jesus, could it get worse? Unfortunately, yes.

Those who have attempted to suggest that this is some sort of spoof must have a very high standard to look up to if they think this dreck was deliberately made to look like utter crap.

I would suggest it's merely some demented idiot's idea of an 'action movie'

Assuming you don't expect any sort of reasonable, cohesive, remotely plausible plot, and have no expectation of either an Army Ranger or a Seal team being remotely competent, and have a deep appreciation of wooden acting, well then... This is the movie for you. Otherwise, it's laughbly bad.

Not sure you have much to search for here. And it is a shame. Everyone involved seems like good people (there is some behind the scenes stuff at the end of the movie, during the credits) ... but I can't in good conscience say or rate this really high. And I usually am really someone who cuts movies slack ... but again I just can't in this case.

It was dreadful to watch - and while there have been worse production values in other movies ... this does not make the watching experience any better. If you can laugh all the way through it, as someone else obviously did and had a "good time" therefor ... well go for it. But it is likely you won't like what you see here.

Bad guy: "We have them surrounded" Soldier: "Sir, we are completely surrounded" Cutter narrating: "We were completely surrounded"

And using the same scene where someone is shooting, not twice, but six times in 30 seconds.

That is the kind of quality you can expect in the first few minutes of this movie alone.

Add a bunch of old stock footage of war scenes and fighter jets and you have a good view of the movie.

I was looking at it, asking myself if this was meant to be serious. Seems I am not alone in this. Would be great if this is some student project or something close to Hot Shots. I cant imagine it being anything else than an action comedy.

Want a good laugh, give it a try.
