This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This felt like someone's weekend movie project starring Bruce Willis. So bad, I stopped watching after 35 minutes.

Seriously, that bad. Wooden characters, horrible dialogue (it's complicated), over the top characters that seem to fit in absolutely no where.

First the characters themselves..

Bruce Willis plays the usual type-cast character he usually plays. While pretty much that is the draw. Even at this, the lines... the acting, oh dear lord... what were you thinking?

Of course, the Father/Son conflict... cannot resolve differences... I assume they eventually team up, but 35 minutes was all I could take I did not make it to the end.

Bad Guys: Badder than bad. What's with the big red skull on your flak jacket? For trained mercs, you are absolutely useless any in shape or form. Your usual assortment of characters that always meet a sticky end.

The over the top Villian. Stumbling around a Jungle with expensive clothing on. Nothing says camo better than a white shirt, red tie and silver and red vest.

C'mon, this is starting to insult my intelligence.

The only redeeming bad guy was the battle scene in the foggy (of course) jungle with the lady. At least, he acted like a trained professional not someone collected off the street and given a gun and costume.

Rapping Sergeant in the Golf Cart? Seriously? What the hell? You would think cranking your music and rapping along would be a tactical no no drawing all sorts of attention to yourself. Still trying to figure out why?

3 People at Computers? Big underground facility, four people in it? Seriously. I am still trying to figure out the 3 people on the computers dressed like a maintenance crew at a factory.

The little arrows indicting the people was hilarious and absolutely disjointed. If you had the tech available why use it for only once instance? Did someone throw this scene in at the last minute to make things more dramatic (or attempt to make it dramatic)?

Secondly the plot and set..

Painful and highly predictable. As stated, I could not bring myself to watch the whole movie in it's entirety. I felt guilty and ashamed as if I was doing something I should not have been.

Characters seemed to have no place at all or stupidly stumble about until they are obviously killed or taken prisoner.

Mind you, the Uber Driver, I would have popped a cap in him myself but was once again... predictable. The sets are off the charts dumb. The "Fortress" itself looks like some teenagers game-cave whereas at any moment their Mom is going to open the door and nag at them to clean up. Seriously was this the inspiration?

The obvious foggy forest where you cannot see things.. yada yada yada... cannot get a signal in their area... yada yada...

I felt cheated out of 35 minutes of my life. Watch at your own risk.… Expand
