So right off the bat when someone was pointing out a bogey in the intro of the movie they said right over there. I know this is supposed to be an indie movie but that just seems like bad script writing. They had some military terms in the movie and instead of giving a term for that they said there. Come on people. I also thought the opening credits was too long. The work out scene with the guys seemed too forced in my opinion it didn't seem natural at all. The male acting seemed way too forced. The toxic masculinity didn't seem natural whatsoever. Not to sound like a broken record but most the acting and script seems very forced. There's also way too much music in the movie it feels like a filler in all honesty. The math ain't mathing. I get this is supposed to be a military movie but I'm pretty sure they don't call there fellow service members by there call signs all the time. One of the actors constantly makes the same face for everything. You can tell the movie is mostly cgi or greenscreen. The "I'll be back" seemed to be so cringey in the film it didnt flow with the movie and it just seemed like the writer wants arnold to see that he's paying him homage through his son. Its not giving. The flashback in the movie about country seemed like forced filler and didn't naturally flow with the movie. Also having a character in the movie come from no money and a not a great household forces stereotypes and gives military personnel bad reps. This movie makes no sense. I also believe edge and bells meeting is supposed to be a meet cute. That was also cringe. It was poorly executed. Also locker room talk wouldn't happen in front of their ranking officer and wouldn't be done about said officer. Make it make sense. The banter and jokes in this movie are so terrible. "Buckle up my little hamburger helper," really so gross. The actress who plays Bear is pretty good. They disobey command left and right in this movie with no reparations. It doesn't seem like a military film. It needs to have order. And a baseball game really in the middle. Make it make sense. So far only one part of this movie is where the music went along with the movie and made sense. Not with the fake crying about the chance that her sisters might die on the mission they are being sent on. It was so bad I almost laughed. Even the command in the movie is terrible. Country is by far the worst actress/actor in this movie. I do like that the intro resurfaces at the end of the movie. The combat scene isn't that good though. No one sounds scared in the fight scene. There isn't really any emotion in it either. The ending was alright it was better then the rest of the movie but still not good. The make up on edge doesn't look good either when she is in the hospital bed.
I don't know if it's the movie or if it's just the actors, but the acting is really bad. Definitely not worth the money I spent on this. I get this is an independent film and I came into this knowing it wasn't going to be the best film ever. I was so tempted to dnf this film it was that bad. I feel bad for giving this review.
