    Surprisingly Immersive
    We've watched movies about black ops gone awry. What's different in this movie is how the subject is treated. It's commendable. It's well-executed and well-edited. Thus, it's immersive.

    The viewer is glued to his seat as he watches how James extricates himself from a life-threatening situation.

    While the focus is on the action, the film doesn't ignore human interest. The drama is heartfelt like the scene with James and the scientist in his lab. Or how Mike dotes on his crippled son. Or the all-too-brief scene with James and Virgil at the safehouse. Or the encounter between James and Mike in the parking lot.

    The movie also shines a soft light on the situation of ex-military men when they are discharged from the service.

    Chris Pine is great here. Praise has to be given to director Tarik Saleh and writer JP Davies.

    The Non-Actor
    I don't know why my luck turned out too bad like that. Why do I watch such idiotic movies like this? Don't these actors learn how to perform or what I don't know.. Even the script is too bad, and what about these flying bullets everywhere without even scratching the main character? Didn't we pass that long time ago?

    If I got to the man who funds this bull sh## I don't know what am I going to do with him. Honestly, he should get a punishment for wasting his money on such movies and wasting our time too.

    I really wish now I could control the memories center in my mind to delete what wasted 105 minutes of my priceless life.
