Hostile Forces

I am tired of people who obviously push a movie for whatever reason in a review. I have noticed an ongoing trend of seeing these amazing reviews for these average at best movies first up by people.

This movie is not an 8 or a 10 but far from it. It is obviously a low budget film following a tried old storyline of a family in a cabin and things go wrong then they must be killed.

I am not sure what the others were watching but it is far from a good movie or a brilliant 8/10. I think honesty is the best policy and yes, we all have our own opinions, but let's be fair to everyone in a review. In this movie you will not sit on the edge of your seat, the acting is only ok and the action so so at best. The bad guys who are meant to be professionals always miss their shots, the good guys with very little military experience cannot miss, and those professionals cannot track a group who obviously have no formal training in evasion.

Writing a review is meant to be balanced assessment and I assume truthful. I would just say it is a 4-star movie at best and therefore do not expect a lot from the movie. If you go into watching this movie with a balanced view, you have the best chance of enjoying it and not being disappointed + think you wasted your time (in my humble opinion).

Hostile Forces is an alright movie but has some shortfalls that prevent me from giving it a higher rating.

The voice acting is alright but things can feel of from time to time, but overall it's what's expected from a budget film.

The story doesn't really matter, or at least thats what it feels like. The story is simply there to provide an excuse to have a bunch of fighting and shooting sequences.

The action is alright but feels particularly forced in multiple times. This includes multiple instances where the characters would drop their gun either in the midst of the fight or intentionally to go first-to-fist. It feels like the only goal for the movie was to just make a bunch of fighting scenes regardless of if it made any sense.

Overall, if you're looking for a series of barely connected action sequences reusing the same tropes between multiple encounters then this movie is for you.

Gave this chance on the high reviews, I also don't mind a low budget film but sorry this is bad. Not sure how old George is about 50? Did he wake up one morning and think I know let's make a really cheap Rambo film today ? The result a very bad Rambo film made in 24hrs. . . Must try harder. I need 600 characters but not sure what else to say..

Maybe I could be in part 2 and make it a 5 star film, George if you read this I'm available free of charge, I know all the mid 80's action classics to help bring the ratings up to the right level.

How much did this cost to make I wonder ?

Will this review make it ?

I'm not surprised at the fake reviews. At this point, with these movies, it's expected. I lose so much respect for the movie when that happens. I was going to give this a 2 but now, it gets a 1.

This movie is low budget, so like I've been saying in my reviews lately, don't expect stellar acting. I will say it wasn't terrible but those fight scenes were hilarious. You won't be on the edge of your seat due to a thrill but more so a laugh. Darn close to falling out of your seat. You could clearly tell they were over rehearsed and over acted. You could also see there was absolutely no real strength to at least make them believable.

What also threw me off about this movie, was it seemed like every scene was literally shot once. This movie just had very little effort put into it.

It was an ok watch and I recommend it if you have nothing else, but please with these phony reviews. They are just as laughable as those fight scenes.

Let's start with the plot. There's not a skerrick of originality in it. If you've ever watched a cheap and nasty 80s blood-and-guts action movie, you don't need to watch this.

Then there's the implausibility. You travel with your family to a house in the remote bush with no telephone, no internet, but a huge TV set for some reason, and the first thing you notice is a horrible smell. "Probably a dead rat" is the explanation offered by one of the characters. Does anyone bother looking for the rat? Matybe you could check under the furnitre or behind the fridge. No, they just settle in and continue to wonder about the horrible smell.

To escape the people who are trying to kill them, they find a rocky shelter, well exposed, not very far from the house, and they light a fire on the first night. Yep, they'll be safe there.
