The answer is no, they would've done a much better job! Writer, producer and director Harald Franklin needs to keep his day job. Firstly, has he heard of the sponge that goes over microphones? It's the thingy you use so your audience can hear the dialogue instead of the wind. The entire sound was horrible and poorly edited - if it even was. The score was constant, annoying, loud and unfitting and was at least double the volume of the dialogue. His directing on every level was atrocious, including failing to direct his cast and his scenes. The screenplay was like blindly taping together a shredded script. It was convoluted, riddled with plot and technical issues and the story made no sense. There were too many unnecessary and long dragged out scenes that I ended up forwarding thru most of them. The 94 min runtime felt like 3 hours with the slow pacing and horrible story. I'm guessing it was meant to be some lame political statement? The kill-shot S/VFX, and the acting were the only redeeming qualities, and even that was sub-par. Franklin needs to pay for some "Film School 101" classes before he attempts another production. Probably the worst film I've seen this year. A very generous 3/10 from me

Ooowh my, i was looking so much forward to this movie.
What a waste of my time.
The story is credible, but the acting and directing is really bad.
Soldiers dont go in to combat like that and they dont retreat like that when you have the upper hand and best position to encounter the enemy.
Even my grandpa is moving better than these soldiers.
If you use actors for this kind of movies please get actors would had have basic combat training.
A big no go, i didnt even finish the movie, its to annoying.

Good movie to spend your evening

To be honest, I didn't expect anything brilliant from this film. A standard action movie with a bunch of fights and shootings. For one evening it is absolutely ok. The story is pretty simple, but it was interesting for me to watch the characters. I liked that the heroes are all with their own weaknesses, I do not like when the hero is very positive and all these superhero things are boring for me. And in this film, they are all real people. Probably something could be better, but it's not a big budget movie. So I reccomend to take a look and make your own opinion about this movie.
The movie worth watching

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of action, but I liked the movie. Dramatic line and interesting locations. I wonder where did they shoot it? The political theme made me think a lot about the situation in the world.
I am glad that high-quality films are shot in Europe with actors from all over the world.I give the film 8, because 10 is only to the worldwide masterpieces. This production company has room to grow.We are used to the fact that such films are shot in Hollywood, Europeans have their own certain style, I consider. If you have free time and you are as curious as I am, I recommend watching this movie.
Good Action Movie

Anyone who rates this film with 1 or 2 stars is likely to belong to the species of the eternally dissatisfied. Certainly, there may be more exciting films with better stories. However, to call this film "flat" or "illogical" is outrageous and misleading to potential buyers. The film is good enough to watch.
Excellent and Solid Film !!!

How we did, do this.

4 Person Team as Special Surveillance, Target Identification and Verification, Targeting, Target Damage Assessment.
2 Long Range Electro Optical Surveillance with Target Designators.
Weapons that the locals have, cannot run out of ammunition, cannot identify who or which Nation did the Mission.
Uniforms whatever the locals are wearing.
2 Foreign Aircraft each with 1 each GBU-12 Paveway 2 "Smart Bomb" we use Target Designator to accurately target. GBU-118 Thermobaric Bomb, burns at over 2,000 Degrees C, burns all evidence, kills anybody that got into underground Bunker, Tunnels or Bomb Shelter.
We do not do Direct Actions for this kind of Mission, as leaving too much evidence to be found.

It's a good independent Movie
MoradAzzaaoui20 December 2020
That's funny when I read all the other negative comments about this movie. But the people forget always that this was a low budget independent movie. As you can see even with a low budget you can make a good movie. I mean with a big Budget almost everybody can make a movie. So I'm happy with the result. And all the other 1 Star comments!! Just make a low budget independent movie and let us see them. Can you make it better? Than show us.
Talented actors+ brave director= good movie
femmy-539613 June 2021
I am happy that European directors are filming more and more foreign actors, including Russians. I'm tired of watching films with the same actors, I want to see new faces. And in this movie all actors are no name. Bravo to the director! He was not afraid to take them and I believe these actors! Some of the scenes were too long but in general, I really liked the film. Directors, shoot more Russian actors in your films- they are insanely talented!
Great Movie, full of action

A good way to reflect on important topics

An eternal story of fathers and children, love and betrayal.
Nothing new, but at the same time I looked at this situation in a new way.
Sometimes the sound of shooting was too loud. Perhaps in the cinema there would have been a different effect but I watched the movie at home. It's little bit old style but in total, I was pleasantly surprised that Germans can shoot action movies. And open end- it's what I like in movies. So, pretty good movie.

I found it funny to read the reviews that there is no plot in the movie. Maybe it was in Rambo and other action films? Ha-ha. For me, this type of popcorn movies is for one night - to watch and forget.
I got the whole range of emotions from watching: sometimes I laughed, sometimes was in tension and once even cried like a baby. Ha-ha. Now I even don't remember the story but doesn't matter. Action movies are just for entertainment. And I got.
