The Commuter (2018)
Wow, Utterly Preposterous...
I usually like Liam, even as he's turned into an action guy...but even Oscar Schindler can't save this one. Ridiculous plot coupled with ridiculous action sequences. The hand to hand combat (in a moving train, mind you) is comical. Skip this one.
American Soldiers (2005)
Worst War Film Ever
Wow, I never knew a Hummer could take about a dozen RPGs at point blank range and emerge without a scratch. And OMG, "Sarge" giving the boys pep talks every five minutes and undergoing field surgery every 15 minutes or so. And then, to top it all off, about a dozen US soldiers (armed with only knives and their love of country) against 50 or so Iraquis (with machine guns and RPGs) duke it out in the Canadian desert. Also hilarious...these soldiers have machine guns and they spray about 1000 bullets a second at the enemy...they hit nothing. Then, they run out of machine gun ammo, so they start firing their sidearm handguns...guess what? They can hit a fly off the top of a soda can from about 100 yards. LOL.
The action sequences had an "A-Team" quality about them that hasn't been seen since, well, the A-Team. RPGs hit the front grill of a Hummer and/or huge truck, yet the "explosion" takes place 20 feet away with little sparkles (and NO damage). Someone in the message boards mentioned that the Iraquis kept showing up like Ninjas in a bad Kung Fu flick, which is exactly right.
The Iraqui "policeman"...LOL. Which writing genius came up with this guy? "I must stay here with my men". Anyone who had anything to do with the making of this film should bow their head in shame...I don't care about the politics of it...I love both the pro and anti-war flicks equally, but this thing is just horrible.
One last thing Mr, Director, the fade out/in for every scene change gets REAL annoying after 2 or 3 times. Maybe next time, hire and editor.
