Mission Commando

When this started off I noticed a few goofs like a sergeant wearing a dress uniform in the field and scientists wearing lab coats in the middle of a lake( they're scientists so how else will we know?) All of these problems just faded away when I got into the main body of the film and saw what a shameless copy of Predator it really was. Die Hard has had its copiers but they at least tried to add something new to the formula but this is obviously a quick slapdash, turn it out as quickly and cheaply as possible movie. The script, effects and acting are all as you'd expect.

One thing I think I noticed, at one point they seem to have swapped guns, like they threw them in a pile at the end of filming Friday and just picked up the first to hand on Monday morning.

Everybody here is saying that this movie is a Predator copycat! And they are 100% right! Shameful movie, truly shameful, I couldn't believe how much alike it really is! So here we go, the camera work, is pure amateur style! You will not believe how bad it can be! After it, the acting. Waaait, I have to rephrase, after it, the "acting". Dear God, low budget must really mean bad actors too? Is there no one out there that would like to start in a movie with just a tad bit of talent? After this, the lines, hohoo, laughing out loud! And worse of all, the plot itself! You're going to see so many things that are simply out of this world dumb! Some chases without any kind of logic, some moments that you're praying for the movie to end right then and of course the, thing itself.

Only if you are a Sorbo fan, then I can recommend this movie to you. Only reason I watched it. But seriously, this is pure garbage. A Predator copycat can be fun, but please by all means, stay away from this one, it's bad in every way possible! I don't know, try Walk Tall 2, it has Sorbo and it is rather nice! Regards!

This would be a 2 if not for the beautiful and interesting cinematography. The acting might have been good with a better script. So close to the Predator film it is funny;

This includes the one small female in with truck sized male commandos, deep jungles, mowing down of said jungle while shooting at the invisible " predator" character. They even hear the Predator howl in pain in the distance while it is repairing itself.

The female commando is smart and capable, and takes no c*** from the men.

Some of the dialog is amusing but the whole film tends to be a gore/shoot/stab feast and overly Macho.

I would just like to reiterate what my illustrious fellows have already said: this movie is total crap. Imagine if you took the script of Predator, replaced the Predator with a Universal Soldier, and then made him kill people in the same way as the alien in I Come In Peace. Basically, that's the entirety of this movie. Almost every scene is ripped off from Predator, with cheap, ripoff sound and visual effects.

If you watch this for any reason, it's probably because Bokeem Woodbine and Kevin Sorbo. There was absolutely no way to salvage this movie, however, and neither actor looks excited about being here. I know that Sorbo's career has gone nowhere, but I would have thought that Bokeem Woodbine had better things to do.

I have no problem with cheap, direct-to-video ripoffs of Alien, Predator, or Terminator. Like any other B movie junkie, I spent an inordinate amount of time watching low budget Charles Band movies in the 80s and 90s. I even liked quite a few of them. However, this movie makes even the worst Empire/Full Moon movie look like genius. And that is no small feat.

Okay to watch if you are REALLY BORED and have run out of all other options, short of watching paint dry on a wall. This is a typical Predator-like remake with a group of awful actors and a couple of has beens,Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) and Bokeem Woodbine playing a ragtag group of "Black Ops" with a tag along "bad Azz" woman bureacrat who served in Nam etc. The woman character cycles between I'm tougher than nails and oops I broke a nail and a male black ops character that loves to use Southern clichés and dialect and cool phrases like "slicker than seaweed dipped in catfish grease." I've seen worse films but this is pretty awful. The Governator couldn't save this Predator remake.
