Best movie of this year hands down!
Dynamixor
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I spent my teen years watching Troma films and other crap horror. Actually the only reason I looked it up on IMDb after seeing it on a bus ride is because I seriously wondered if it was made by the US military, the patriotism was so over-the top. I mean, come on. These guys shoot one bad guy in the shoulder and he dies, but they are like superhuman tanks that keep running while getting gunned down, including shot in the head. What's even funnier is reading the reviews and seeing all of the Americans praising it as a great movie with realistic action scenes, and only the Lithuanians, Estonians, etc are the ones who notice how unbelievably biased it is. Like we Americans are so convinced of our natural superiority we don't even notice. My next suspicion, after US military propaganda film was that it was adapted from a video game, nothing else could explain the cartoonishness of the villains. But I was wrong there, too. To think that this is the best form some series, I can't even imagine what the worst looks like. I might look it up for a laugh.

One of the first things i have to say - this movie is just awful, horrible acting combined with terrible script. all the shooting scenes are as unrealistic as it can get. the bad guys cant hit the good guys even at the distance of 10 meters. bad guys holding their AK assault rifles always storm towards the good guys waiting to be shot and killed. WHY Aren't THEY SHOOTING? maybe this is because many of the bad guys have wooden weapons. yes, they have wooden Kalashnikov, the parts that are supposed to be made form metal are just painted black. another scene - the good guys driving with minivan and they get shot at by dozens of bad guys with kalashnikovs - NONE, not a single one of the high powered assault riffle bullets manages to penetrate thin sheet metal of the minivan. and it gets even worse. one of the good guys is shot in the head, somewhere near his left ear and HE DOESN'T DIE!! in fact he continues to drive on with a minivan and do several drivebys to closing enemy soldiers and kill dozens of them before he is finally taken down by enemy bullets. some of the special effects are made by using BAD computer graphics, like the rescue helicopter that is shot down by anti aircraft missile... when the final rescue helicopter(computer animated blackhawk) comes and rescues few good guys who managed to survive, THERE ARE NO PILOTS FLYING IT when it rises up after rescuing good guys. enemy soldiers have no intelligence whatsoever, even a bunch of stone age warriors with wooden clubs would have no troubles of defeating the demented soldiers armed with Kalashnikov in that movie. i feel sorry for everybody who have wasted their time watching this movie. it wouldn't be as bad if it would be a comedy, but it is really terrifying that the authors of this movie were thinking they are doing a serious and realistic(what a laugh) war movie. it is really harder the get even worse.

This movie looks like it was made my a combination of the United States government and the makers of the punisher.. The characters were simply awful. Bad acting combined with bad scripts made this a horrible watch. And the cocky attitude of everyone in this movie was disgusting.. They simple came across like rednecks who had seen too many war movies when they were kids. Exaggerated overdone scenes that were meant as a recruiting tool as far as i see and watching the movie was a true punishment... There you have it.. if you are looking for a good movie to watch, don't come near this movie.
