Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

... View MoreA film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreEvery line is poorly acted and worst than that, EVERY LINE OF DIALOGUE IS ON THE NOSE. As if the writer/director had no concept of dynamic story telling. Your characters do not do and say what they mean all the time. People in life do not say or do what they mean. If acting is supposed to be reacting in the moment, how can you react when the source material gives you nothing but meaningless words. That's why the performances are flat. A character is angry. Dialogue reads: "Man, I'm so angry at you right now". Actor plays angry in the scene because he has no other way to build up the emotion. For f**k sake. I really hate it when producers produce movies just to act in. Pick one and learn the craft before you try and be both. Terrible film.
... View MoreTwo of the other three reviewers nailed this - this was probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen - if not one of the worst ever made. The single "positive" reviewer is obviously a friend of the guys that tossed this mess together one afternoon - that, or they've never watched anything more interesting than a high-school play. The acting in this thing was a joke, completely stale. The dialog was so clichéd, so poorly executed, it was almost painful to listen to. And the camera work was fourth rate (my favorite part was the Mic dangling into the shot during a chase scene). As another reviewer already mentioned - the plastic hand grenade was my second favorite part... I tried very hard to find something positive - but there's just not one single positive aspect to this movie. Unless you count the authenticity of the "Italian soldier's" accent. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreThe best I can figure is the first two commenters must have seen the graphic, read the title, and were very disappointed when neither Rambo nor Chuck Norris showed up. However, I rate this a very credible job of story telling. It held my interest, which is something no Rambo, Chuck Norris, or Jackie Chan movie has ever done. There was certainly a cogent plot, and, the movie being something of a mystery, the details aren't pulled together until the end. I mean, what's a mystery if the first thing you do is reveal the mystery? The acting was entirely credible, the characters well developed, and each was well defined. The shots were interesting - some innovative. The camera work worked well to frame the story-telling style. Was it "Atonement?" No. But it certainly was not a waste of my time, either. Indeed, my favorite movies are those which compel me to replay scenes in my mind long after I've seen the movie to try to figure out every nuance. And I can still recall the feelings I had when watching some of the scenes.
... View MoreI would rather watch paint dry. Worst film I have seen in years, absolute rubbish. Must have cost at least $300 to make. The acting if you can call it that was wooden stilted and mostly unintelligible. Camera work was shoddy and was covered in sun reflections for most scenes. Story line was non existent childish and downright stupid. Background music repetitive and did not fit the scenes. A right old rip-off. I would not recommend it to anyone with half a brain. How this type of film is funded and actually made remains a mystery to me. All I can imagine is that it is some sort of tax avoidance scheme. There is no way this rubbish could have got made otherwise.
