Review Time
Warning: there is colourful effects/flashing
effects/attempted sexual assault element
Storyline: where do I start; the
storyline taking until the 27th minute to get started even though in theory
this storyline should have been something safe and reliable, but things do get
left on a question-mark of what happened next?; the pacing is really slow, even
when this film gets going it has this ability to look and feel really slow, I
mean the only time this project feels like it is moving better is when we have
Sgt. Jake Carter/'The Miz' Mizanin driving this Sheriff Police vehicle right
towards the end of the film.
Action/Art: we do get some elements later
on in this film where these two components work hand-in-hand, they start when
we have this SWAT team [just to cover my back I am not sure if they are SWAT
but this is what they look like to me so I could be wrong;] taking on these
terrorists on this dilapidated old ferry boat the camera shots are from the
perspective of first-person shooter or later on in another sequence of events
from behind the character/performer in question's back over the shoulder.
Action;
individually now we do get Marine training and missions, weapons being used,
combat and chasing.
Art;
individually here are just one or two elements for you to look out for; there
is this ferry boat coming into this scene on the water and you have this train
with trailers coupled to it.
Characters/Performances: the character
developments, the performances and the on-screen chemistry now once again in
theory these should have been likewise something safe and reliable; but in
reality there is only one that really stands out for me and that is Jonah
Pope/Neal McDonough; he takes these character developments and runs with them
creating genuine-on screen chemistry; the terrorists characters/performers that
work under him are what you expect them to be, consequently they bring the
on-screen chemistry that reflects that also. But for everyone else yes they
character developments are straightforward, but their on-screen chemistry is as
flat as a pancake and lifeless.
This film receives: 2/10, this film is
poor; so let's try to leave this review on a positive if there are any fans of
Neal McDonough out there in Internet land; he does a lot for this project so
take a look at this film but as you can probably tell by now don't expect too
much.
