... View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

... View MoreThis movie has the same rating as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. This is completely unfair - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is way better than this. So bad I will not watch a British movie ever again.
... View MoreI decided to give this movie a look since the description of it promised that it would be akin to something like the movie "Dog Soldiers", which was also made by British filmmakers. However, it did not take me long into watching it to make me wish that I rewatched "Dog Soldiers" instead. This is a really BAD movie. For one thing, the movie throughout refuses to give the viewers anywhere near a decent explanation as to what is going on with multiple plot points and the various characters. Sure, I can accept a little mystery, but not to the point where I don't even get the gist of what is going on. To make matters worse, the movie is really uninteresting. Most of the movie takes place in the title place, where the people inside constantly bicker and yell and go nowhere when it comes to trying to uncover what is happening. It doesn't help that the cast often speak in such thick accents that it's hard at times to figure out what they are saying. This movie is a pretentious mess, making you feel stupid while you are watching it for more than one reason.
... View MoreDecent cinematography, confusing tension, and good photography in general for low budget. I liked the story, what little there was of it, despite the issues I have listed below. I found myself muttering "soldier the **** up" over and over through the movie. These were the ABSOLUTELY LOUDEST group of soldiers who were trying to remain incognito I have ever seen. What bugged me was that they could not act like real soldiers, the movie had a very rocky start. The movies military adviser should be fired (or at least demoted). There were so many problems, equipment appearing from field kits they did not have in the previous scene, firing at nothing with limited ammo supply's, and the list goes on. Then they left a soldier behind in favor of some non-combatant they had to carry? It finally seemed like the acting was getting better around the time that their squad leader (still don't know the ranks, but unimportant) chews them all out. He then ends his speech with the line "I would be better with a platoon of monkeys" which sums up the movie in many ways. The ending was pointless and lacked any credible substance or story. A little background in the beginning of the movie as to who they were, why they were there and what was the point of the hostages, would have been helpful in rounding out the story. By the way that is not how you hot wire a jeep...
... View MoreThis is the worst movie I've seen in years. Why did I continue watching? Because I felt there had to be improvements and explanations coming if only I stayed a few minutes longer. I was wrong. It starts fine, but accumulates mysteries, stacking one atop another, for 80 minutes and answers almost none of them. From the beginning, I asked myself "Why did (character) do/say that?" Never explained. Repeated repeatedly over the entire course of the 88 minutes. It's too late for me... save yourself.
