Like at least a couple other people I've seen I created an account just to write this review.
I honestly struggle to figure out where to begin with this. There isn't a single redeeming quality of this film and I urge anybody thinking of watching it to avoid it.
I usually do save myself the hassle by judging war films based on their Netflix pictures. This one had the cheesiest god awful one I've ever seen. But I also saw the same thing on Jarhead 2 and Special Forces and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they were pretty good.
So I went ahead and watched this. Everything about this film from the start is ridiculous. The 'SEALS' act absolutely nothing like standard soldiers (minus the shooting stuff) let alone those that have received the most elite training. The way they carry out their missions are utterly ridiculous and the fact those missions exist in the first place make no sense.
The characters in this film are completely stale, I felt nothing for any of them, not even a hint of disdain for the main antagonist. In fact when the first SEAL was killed I actually laughed out loud because of how utterly stupid the scene was.
The main problem is that the story made no sense whatsoever. As in absolutely none. Towards the end he somehow finds the main antagonist with no intel on where she might be in the entirety of Johannesburg, simply by assuming (somehow correctly) that they will go to the tallest building.
He then takes on the entirety of the urban mob there with a pistol (which he had a single magazine for but somehow spawned several more).
There are too many specific things to mention in a single review. I think I'm just venting to be honest, just don't watch this film please.
