The Borderland

Seydina Baldé is a better actor than Barak "I'm-not-a-communist!" Obama.

He can swing a karate chop faster than Obama can sign an Executive Order.

Since being a natural born American citizen is no longer required, Seydina should run for U.S. President!

What a great movie!

If Seydina were the American President, he could cut our taxes because he could defend himself.

We wouldn't have to waste taxpayer-dollars on a Secret Service that visits whorehouses, allows psychos to hop the White House fence or allows armed, disgruntled nut jobs onto the same elevator as the President.

Seydina could defend himself!

And if he disagreed with a Republican member of Congress, well he could just karate chop them across the throat.

Done, end of conversation.

Seydina is the bomb! He is the best!

I am not normally a follower of these types of films, though this one is unlike anything I had expected. The genre is an interesting blend of action, thriller, adventure, martial art, and even some comedy. If you are expecting something in particular, then you may not get the full appreciation of this film. I came in not knowing what to expect and I was very impressed. The action scenes are professionally done (for once!) and some of the camera work is also quite beautiful. Immediately after watching the film I wanted to watch it again. Even simply the visuals of the scenery and exotic setting were captivating. I simply loved this film.

I have to say I strongly disagree with those reviewers praising this movie. It really really is just horrible. The script is just awful. The plot is so full of holes- that it is unbelievable. I have never seen the lead actor in anything else, so I don't know if his performance is a result of his lack of ability or a result of bad directing. His line delivery is worse than a second grader reading a book out loud for the first time. It is an action movie lacking much in the way of action. The few action sequences are bland and unexciting. Any attempt at comic relief falls flat. So if you come across this flick, pass it by and spare yourself the suffering.

I have been looking for a great action flick for a little while and was really pleased to watch Covert Operation. All the ingredients are there, great Plot, explosive Action, awesome Fight sequences and even comedy!!! The Lead Seydina Balde is not only very charismatic but also a real martial artist and a five time World Karate Champion and this brings a lot to the action and fight sequences. On top of that the director Matthew Weschler was really able to display Seydina Balde's Amazing skills thanks to the outstanding camera work. This movie is kind of unique in the genre and will please both the average action junkie and the general audience. It definitely deserves a theatrical release. I can't wait to see Seydina Balde featured in another movie. He sure has a very promising career ahead. If you like action as much as i do you will not be disappointed...I voted 10!!!! It does not happen that often so go watch seat back and enjoy. MIke

I had a real pleasure watching this movie... It's actually a good surprise for me. The story takes us to different and surprising places during the whole movie. The characters are well written and the actors make a good performance. The cast is international and brings an interesting variety of acting. The action is well directed and martial arts sequences are amazing with every time a different place with different opponents always extraordinary choreographed. The director succeeds to mix many genres and each of them has it own "Momentum". Some shots of Hong Kong are outstanding as well as the "special one" in the bunker. I look forward to watching the sequel. A must see action film
