Review Time

Warning: this film does contain flash photography

Storyline: well in theory this storyline should have been something safe and reliable, but in reality it is so, so slow. I mean yes the viewers do get lots of information at the beginning of the film and in the final stages as well, but other than that it drifts throughout much of the film until much later, all I can say about this section is yes it is noticeably quicker but at this point in this film, you may not even care and on top of that the ending style is poor; it has a question mark ending for an ending of what happened next?

Action/Art/Comedy: the action in this project is weapons being used and combat, the art component is the best component about this project by some distance; it is in many scenes at different times be it day or night on land or in the sky and we have this band playing music in one scene, moving on to the comedy; there are two comedy elements in this one scene; it is where we have these two characters/performers [one of them being our lead character/performer Ross/Couture and the other being Southwell/Purcell dealing with this explosive situation and they are discussing what colour wire to cut and then on top of that we have this character/performer shooting another character/performer [because she was about to shoot our lead character/performer] and our lead character/performer giving this other character/performer a momentary look and then going back to this explosive situation.

Character developments/Performances: these character developments are a cliché of these character types and the performances are generally speaking do the job and their on-screen chemistry reflects that.

But on reflection be it Ross/Couture and Ballard/Jones or Ross/Couture and Southwell/Purcell; this is good on-screen chemistry.

This film receives: 2/10,  I mean this is just an opinion/speculation, because we will never know but if this film had a lot more get up and go to it; it may have been a solid film, but as I deal with reality this film is poor.
