... View MoreSimple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
... View MoreCompletely surprised as never expected a film like this from Netflix as most of their films are c..p. Dale and Max Martini have reunited after "13hrs. The secret Soldiers of Benghazi" though in different roles. Max Martini always plays his best as a Spec Ops Operator and one would think whether he is actually a one. Spectacular special effects and gloomy background give the movie a realistic look. The director has done a superb job with the movie which is fast moving with good combat scenes. The film would bring back a lot of memories to Spec Ops people. The only thing I am a bit disappointed is the look of the Delta Guys who seem young and inexperienced. They show lot of emotions except Max. Delta guys usually don't show emotions under pressure. Dale as usual the cool guy and Max always the tough guy give much depth to the film. The film has a similarity to "Black Hawk Down" especially the end scene. Good movie, good plot and I wonder whether some people are actually doing research on this "Bio Weapons" right at the moment. (In the end credits you can see the name of an Israel Unit).
... View MoreThere s nothing to complain about in this movie. It is great in every aspect. The best thing is the plot.It s original.The idea is fascinating.Every scene in the movie happens for a reason.The event happens at the right moment.It gave you the answer that you ve been wondering since the film started. The cast ve done great with their work.Though not the oscar style ,their act can go along well with the plot.The CG was really good though not the best,but it served the plot well. If you just want something fun to watch and have something to think about afterward,this is the must watch.
... View MoreSpectral: Special Forces along with a DARPA scientist and a CIA agent battle invisible creatures which can kill by touch and seem to be composed of energy. Through special goggles they appear as ghost-like wraiths.Set in near future Moldova where the US has intervened in a Civil War. (The supporters of the over-thrown Government are referred to as Insurgents.) A devastated City and abandoned/ruined industrial plants give both the feel of Terminator and Alien. The Special Ops teams are equipped like Colonial Marines or even Starship Troopers. A Netflix original filmed in and around Budapest, I recognised some landmarks but I hope CGI was used to inflict the damage Good SF/Horror which at 1h 44m might have benefited from a 15m cut in running time. 7/10.
... View MoreDo you care about plot holes? Is it important that the story is water tight and has no logical errors or can you enjoy a movie that is made with gusto and has very fine actors in it, enough for you? The argument for style over substance could not be clearer than in this case. And it's something you have to be aware (if you saw the trailer you already are aware of it) before watching the movie and possibly waste your time.If you decide you want to see this visual extravaganza, then hold onto your seat, because this Science Fiction movie, while not making sense throughout, has a tension level that is high. The visuals are really good and you wouldn't know from the movie that this is the first feature length movie the director has done. A visual thrill ride with good action set pieces
