Mission Commando

"If these guys can't fix it, Hell no one can." After a group of scientists goes missing, the army hires an elite covert team led by Tyler (Sorbo) to go and investigate and rescue them. When they get to the site they discover something they never could have imagined. There really is not much to say about this movie. The best way to explain it is that this is a Scy/Fy channel version of "Predators". It is only missing the effects, action, cool bad guys and acting, other then that it is a lot like "Predators". If you are a HUGE Predator or Sci-fi fan you would probably like this, otherwise go ahead and avoid this and anyone who wants you to watch it. I give it a D.

Would I watch again? - No way! I will not be getting this for my store.

*Also try - Predators

Some people should have some kind of legal restraint that forbids them to make a movie or even thinking about touching a camera! Dan Garcia should be one of them, although the lighting is good (it usually is when you shoot outdoors) and some shots and scenery are pretty cool, but the movie itself is not even worth to be called "movie".

As one reviewer earlier said you could watch it if you were bored to death nothing short of watching the paint on your wall, I would even strongly disagree with him and say that it would be even better to stick to the paint watching, twice or thrice if needed just as long as you can so you don't have to suffer the horrors (in film making) that this "movie" has to "offer".

If you are a student of cinematography, just have a quick look at it as an excellent example of "How NOT to do it!".

A complete waste of time and resources and an insult to the audience.

Dan Garcia: forget about movie making, please find another job! Stay away (farthest as possible) from directing, script writing and whatever creative movie related jobs may exist. I'm sure you have talents to make yourself useful somewhere, but it sure is not in the movie making business...

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.

Now, I had never actually heard about this 2011 movie. So I didn't know what I was in for here. Nor did I peruse IMDb prior to watching the movie, as to not spoil anything.

And boy what a surprise "Flesh Wounds" turned out to be.

I wonder if writer Gabriel Saint and director Dan Garcia were sued over this 2011 dumpster fire of a movie. It was a blatant rip-off of the classic 1987 movie "Predator". But not in a good and enjoyable way. No, this movie was atrocious, sort of think you ordered the "Predator" movie off of Wish and then received "Flesh Wounds".

It is a amazing that a movie so openly ripping off the 1987 movie was greenlit and made it to see the light of day.

The storyline in "Flesh Wounds" is pretty straightforward, sure. But it was hard to take it serious, given the fact that this was "Predator" on a shoestring budget, and with terrible effects to top it off.

Just why actors Kevin Sorbo and Bokeem Woodbine opted to star in "Flesh Wounds" is simply beyond my comprehension. But I guess a pay cheque is a pay cheque. The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, taking into consideration what this movie turned out to be. However, just keep in mind that you're not in for any award-winning performances.

The special effects in "Flesh Wounds" were exactly that; special.

"Flesh Wounds" is a terrible movie, make no mistake. But I am sure that there are some hardcore Kevin Sorbo fans out there that revel in seeing their idol in a movie leeching off of "Predator".

I wasn't impressed with director Dan Garcia's movie, though I did manage to make it to the very end. But truth be told, it was simply just to see how much they could manage to rip-off "Predator" and turn it into a low budget mockery of a sci-fi action movie.

My rating of "Flesh Wounds" lands on a two out of ten stars.

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.
