Seydina Baldé is a better actor than Barak "I'm-not-a-communist!" Obama.He can swing a karate chop faster than Obama can sign an Executive Order.Since being a natural born American citizen is no longer required, Seydina should run for U.S. President!What a great movie!If Seydina were the American President, he could cut our taxes because he could defend himself.We wouldn't have to waste taxpayer-dollars on a Secret Service that visits whorehouses, allows psychos to hop the White House fence or allows armed, disgruntled nut jobs onto the same elevator as the President.Seydina could defend himself!And if he disagreed with a Republican member of Congress, well he could just karate chop them across the throat.Done, end of conversation.Seydina is the bomb! He is the best!
... View MoreVery decent movie overall.Action and fight scenes are really good, Sedina Balde is a real bad ass and very charismatic. Some of the fights are very well filmed (the upside down double fight is very cool, the fight on the North-Korean version of the world map is just great). Apart from the action, there is a lot of fun scenes and nice references to other movies. There are some really nice work with lights throughout the entire movie. Some poor dialogs at times, some scenes also seem a bit "cheap" here and there, but all in all, I had a very good time watching this movie.
... View MoreThe main actor moves in slow motion. The directors have no idea that in North Korea men serve 10 years mandatory military service and women 7 years. The North Korean commando who raided Blue House was an elite unit, but it still gives an idea about the martial arts training North Korean soldiers receive.This movie depicts North Koreans worse than a caricature. I suspect it is funded by US Army to serve propagandist purpose.I understand that it's difficult to get North Korean accent speakers in a movie, but those actors sound worse than Konglish. The 90's famine propaganda is also shameless.There is nothing else to see but goofs and propaganda.
... View MoreI have been looking for a great action flick for a little while and was really pleased to watch Covert Operation. All the ingredients are there, great Plot, explosive Action, awesome Fight sequences and even comedy!!! The Lead Seydina Balde is not only very charismatic but also a real martial artist and a five time World Karate Champion and this brings a lot to the action and fight sequences. On top of that the director Matthew Weschler was really able to display Seydina Balde's Amazing skills thanks to the outstanding camera work. This movie is kind of unique in the genre and will please both the average action junkie and the general audience. It definitely deserves a theatrical release. I can't wait to see Seydina Balde featured in another movie. He sure has a very promising career ahead. If you like action as much as i do you will not be disappointed...I voted 10!!!! It does not happen that often so go watch seat back and enjoy. MIke
