Another good film by Christian Sesma. Although I liked the film and the conspiracy against Miller. There was one thing wrong, if he really was AWOL they don't send out local police or allow a Russian politian to go searching. So in my opinion it was a conspiracy against Miller for whatever secrets he stole. He also had a stream if bad luck along the way. He was more then just a Marine.
This movie is worth a watch, neglect my 5 rating. Here's why:
I really liked camera work. Good cameras were used for this movie and really good cameramen. It's really nice to watch.
Luke Goss was pretty good in this movie. He's good at playing tough guys. But there were a few other actors that were not that good.
The story is not very good, but it's OK. It's not fast paced, but still pretty intense. However sometimes it's hard to understand what's happening.
There's a lot of thing happening in this movie, so it's quite hard to predict what's going to happen next.
On overall it's an OK movie and it's the first movie I have seen with Luke Goss. I really liked him, so I'm planning to watch a few more movies with him ;)

For God's Sake !! Another above average movie about terrorists, where is the creativity of movie makers? I even don't know why I lose my time watching this movie. In fact, I didn't watch it all, but what I see was enough... The movie is absolutely predictable, the good guy has some problems, but at the end he (presumably, i did not see) overcomes all of of them. It is an action movie, with the typical more of the same approach. Perhaps the best quality of the movie is that it is short, the suffering is not so prolonged. So here am I losing more time with it. Simply said, this movie belongs to the category "avoid like the plague"
Watched this movie with a friend and we both thought it was worth a bucket of popcorn and the 1.5 hours. Is it academy award winning material? Absolutely not. Is the storyline new or innovative. Again, no. However, I thought Luke Goss had good screen presence and to see RZA continue to branch out of his music origins is a welcome sight. A previous reviewer focused on RZA's poor acting skills. I didn't see that. This is his 3rd movie that I have seen and I see him getting better. I must state that Bokeem Woodbine's character was unimpressive. He tried to do the 'hard/killer' roll and it fell flat. With all that said I suggest to take a chance and have a look see. You won't be blown away but you won't be disappointed either.
A lot of good actors end up carrying films like this. Sometimes they hit on a good one, with a good budget. I think it's just a matter of the popularity of the actor. Tony Jaa in the protector for example. His martial arts and acting was a lot better than in Furious 7. Heat with Robert De Niro was all star and therefor a hit. The expendables however..an exception. Too many actors competing.Jason Statham is very popular but Crank(either one) was lousy. Luke Goss, although a good actor, seems to get canceled out when playing next to a better known tough guy even if it's a lousy movie. Popularity or just not being well known enough. What would happen if you threw in say Jason Statham instead of RAZ? Might be even, might not. Would be better though, but try getting a hold of Jason and your budget go'es up 50%. Altogether i give i give this one a 7 only because i watch movies depending on the actor who's in it. By the way, i've never even heard of RAZ until this movie.
