This is some of the worst directing, editing, script writing and acting I have ever seen. What ever they spent making this travesty should have instead been thrown in a fire. Watching the money burn would have been more interesting than this pile of manure. How in the world did they get the caliber of actors to agree to this horrible mess? I only finished watching out of disbelief that a movie could be so unbelievably horrible. There are to many atrocities to the art of film making to point out each and every foul moment in this garbage fest. Cuba please have more respect for yourself in the future. There has to be better scripts and people to work with than the buffoons that backed this nightmare. Please please please make sure to never let this happen again. This movie makes me want to break my DVD player into a million pieces! If you are reading this beware of this movie! It is bad for your eyes, ears and mental health! Do not watch this terrible mistake in movie making history!
... View MoreThe amazing thing about this truly terrible movie is not that it was actually made. The amazing thing is that before it was made, dozens of people with at least average intelligence read the script and approved of it.This piece of absolute garbage is wrong from start to finish. Not one line of dialog makes any sense at all. There is no real storyline. No plot. No nothing. The only sensible reason for it to have been made in the first place is that everyone involved must have lost a bet, or were looking for a tax write-off.That being said, this cloud might have a silver lining. Copies of it should be distributed to every film school, with a simple message: "Don't do this, ever."
... View MoreMan is this a bad movie. Not even Cuba could save this one. I felt the urge of walking away from it but I kept on watching to see how this epic fail of a movie would end. And i must say, it ended like it started: crappy! And what about those cheap, laim flashbacks, can someone tell me wtf John Carter and Scott Schafe were thinking? I just can't believe a great actor like Cuba Gooding Jr. wanted to be in this movie after he read the screenplay. Did you have money problems Cuba? I can't even pretend to understand what i just watched, what's the point of this movie? War is bad? If you don't know that you're a terrorist. Stay away from this one!!! People who like this movie have absolutely no taste in movies. I wasted an hour and a half of my life watching it, and another ten minutes reviewing it. That's way more attention than it deserves, but if my review can convince just one person in NOT seeing this movie. It was all worth it!
... View MoreI rented this because it had Cuba Gooding Jr. in it and seemed like a decent action film. Bad idea. When it was over we turned to each other and said, "What the heck was THAT?" It has some great actors - all wasted. Some scenes take forever. It took about a minute just to watch a guy make three or four faces and get out of a limousine. Seriously, it was like the director was reaching for some of the great suspenseful movie scenes of the 1950s, but failed miserably. I STILL don't know what the plot was. Heck I came to IMDb to see if anyone else had figured it out.There are so many plot devices they just left hanging that I am convinced this was perhaps shot as three different movies, and then they just put it together during a drunken high editing session. Very disappointing.
