En territoire ennemi 4: Opération Congo

I'm assuming this is what happens when a marginally okay director picks up a script from a special needs kid. It's not even a good idea for a charity project but what amazes me is how they got a halfway decent cast, and what seems to be a huge amount of funding and the backing of one of the largest Hollywood production studios all to produce this atrocity. Maybe Hollywood needs to stop for a moment and take a good look at itself. I am aware that there's "movies" out there that are worse, but non of them really irritated me like this one because they clearly had more resources than they deserve to make this pile of garbage.

I barely made it past the credits before giving up. All of the uniforms are knockoffs, knock ACU's, Type II's, and the working uniform. The gear is crappy, the tactics in communication is crappy, and that really just ruins the movie for anybody with any military knowledge at all. I would've given up on this film when I was 14 years old cause of the bad use of everything. Basically an Expendables with uniforms. Nudity, language, and guns. That's about it. A 12 year old would like this film. Other than that, watch Lone Survivor, Act of Valor, ZDT, or American Sniper if you're looking for tactics and military realism. I gave this 2 stars for effort. After recent films that have done excellent such as the ones I've listed, this kinda of movie just doesn't cut it anymore.

This was amongst my unwatched dvds...from a bargain bin....finally watched it. Wasn't expecting much.....didn't expect to watch all of it.....but I did end up watching till the end. The best action sequences are at the end. The rest of the movie is mediocre. Mainly due to poor directing and camerawork. I watched the dvd extras and found the problem. The director is also the director of photography(DOP). There was spectacular action but it was covered crudely by too many cameras. Personally, I don't think its a good idea for a director to shout action and then run around with his eyes stuck in a camera viewfinder. This movie is an excellent example of why a director should not do that. Some of the action sequences are too long with too many different camera angles of the same action. The acting is mediocre, most probably due to lack of direction. The story was interesting. The action, although covered poorly, was good. This could have been a good movie but sadly its just mediocre.

I think as a viewer you can't honestly expect a blockbuster from a low end production studio. Given that frame of reference I find it amazing that director of photography went above and beyond. It was as if he or she poured their heart and soul into it and it shows. Yes the plot line is overused and yes there are elements in which you roll your eyes and yes dialogue is silly but behind all of that there is some good fun to be had in this movie.

Camera work (minus the usual hand-held) was spot on. We got to see elements of Africa in all of its beauty zebras and all.

I gave this movie a 5, even though I think it really deserves a 3 but it honestly tried. Was it not for silly dialogue and over the board trivialized gunfights and 9 gazillion bullets that never hit anything and the pointless explosions and yes even nudity... outside of all of that we have a flick that you can rent on a rainy day to enjoy.

We have become so spoiled by high production films that I actually do genuinely enjoy these college graduate movies and it felt like a college graduate's first movie. It was unpolished but it is a start.

I did not have any expectations when I first started to watch this movie, and I'm sure glad I didn't have any either, because this was not a movie that should have seen the light of day, the acting is really bad.

The supposedly SEALs does not act like I have a feeling SEALs should behave when they're taking fire and maneuvering. They just run around with guns blazing, killing tonnes and tonnes of bad guys. And guess what? The bad guys don't know how to shoot, at all. A little like Rambo, except it isn't.

The acting is really not that great, Tom Sizemore does not convince me, and brings little to the table. He's just walking around swearing a lot looking at a screen, and then he swears some more.

There was just one thing in the movie that made me happy, and that was a "Saving Private Ryan" reference, if you've seen that movie, you'll recognize it when you see it, if you actually decide to watch this.

Last but not least; This movie is FUBAR.
