A Disappointing Continuation
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

... View MoreI have watched a lot of military movies and played a lot of military games. I understand that producers can not be 100% realistic because sometimes not everyone would like that. However, this was a different story. This was the most unrealistic, under budget, and cringiest military movie I have ever watched. For starters, the helicopter they deployed in was a civilian every day helicopter that you see news channels flying around in. The script made NO sense, and it was the complete opposite of realistic. The hand gestures were super overused, and what was the point if you were just going to go in guns blazing anyways? At the end when there was that one guy left, I almost threw up because that scene was so bad. Please tell me how one single guy single handedly takes out a good 200 enemy soldiers with only a handgun. And not to mention he only reloaded it like 1 time that entire scene even know he shot like 60 bullets. And at the end of that scene, someone shot an RPG at him and it landed literally 5 feet away from him, and he survived. For all you fortnite players, the splash damage should have killed him. And when basically his ENTIRE team dies, and its just him, can i ask why he still goes on another mission? They should have called of the entire operation when the first guy got injured. I made this account today just to write this review so.. :(
... View MoreOkay, this is one of the worst military movies I have seen in a long, long time. And I only watched the first 20 minutes. I couldn't take anymore of it. I am a US Army veteran and I am very familiar with the military quirks and I will give you 3 of them that I discovered in the first 20 minutes. 1. In the opening scene, Tom Sizemore is in the Command Control Center and he is in US Navy BDU's. That is I THINK he is in the US Navy. Seeing as the "US Navy" Velcro label is missing from his uniform (making him seriously out of uniform), I have doubts as to whether he is in the Navy, Army, Marines, or whatever. Rank is also missing from the uniforms in the Control Center. 2. In the Battle that ensues, the head bad guy, General Ntonga appears on the porch, does not take cover, and starts firing his pistols wildly. Does the Seal Team decided to take him, the supreme ranking officer, out? No. Instead they shoot and kill about 10 little peons surrounding him. One of the Navy Seals finds a 50 caliber machine gun and instead of shooting the General, he shoots all the bullets out in a sweeping motion, Rambo style. Everyone is killed except for the General. He escapes. This Navy Seal Team fails in that task miserably.3. I did not see any communications devices on any of the Seal Team members. It is CRITICAL that the team members communicate with each other, instead of shouting at each other. There is a sniper in the battle mentioned above, but without communications devices, he does not know that the General is out in the open. Also, while being shot at, one the members acts like he is crouching behind a jeep for cover, when his head is actually above the jeep itself, making himself a head shot target. Oh, by the way. There is no Seal Team 6. It was disbanded in 1987, the year The Navy established the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, also known as DEVGRU, which governs all active duty Navy Seals (about 2,500 members). This organization is now known as Seal Team 6. So when the media refers to Seal Team 6, they are actually referring to all Navy Seals as a whole. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_SEALs#SEAL_Teams)Maybe Roel should have thought about hiring an actual former Navy Seal to make sure military protocols are adhered to?The information contained in this review was all researched and verified. None of these statements were false, they are all factual.
... View MoreLike at least a couple other people I've seen I created an account just to write this review.I honestly struggle to figure out where to begin with this. There isn't a single redeeming quality of this film and I urge anybody thinking of watching it to avoid it.I usually do save myself the hassle by judging war films based on their Netflix pictures. This one had the cheesiest god awful one I've ever seen. But I also saw the same thing on Jarhead 2 and Special Forces and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they were pretty good.So I went ahead and watched this. Everything about this film from the start is ridiculous. The 'SEALS' act absolutely nothing like standard soldiers (minus the shooting stuff) let alone those that have received the most elite training. The way they carry out their missions are utterly ridiculous and the fact those missions exist in the first place make no sense. The characters in this film are completely stale, I felt nothing for any of them, not even a hint of disdain for the main antagonist. In fact when the first SEAL was killed I actually laughed out loud because of how utterly stupid the scene was. The main problem is that the story made no sense whatsoever. As in absolutely none. Towards the end he somehow finds the main antagonist with no intel on where she might be in the entirety of Johannesburg, simply by assuming (somehow correctly) that they will go to the tallest building. He then takes on the entirety of the urban mob there with a pistol (which he had a single magazine for but somehow spawned several more).There are too many specific things to mention in a single review. I think I'm just venting to be honest, just don't watch this film please.
