This is interesting in a way, as a short scene inside a bigger scenario, but as it is I don't see any reason to over rate it. There is no story no characters just a bit of action but we can't relate it to anything. Very disappointing at last! I am wondering what it is doing at all in this site? who would pay to see this in a cinema? I bought the movie but I felt cheated at the end. I finally understand that it is a shortcut from or for a video game and as a movie watcher i'm not at all satisfied by this. There is nothing more to say about it because the film contains very little please give it the note it deserves, below 5 in any case, there is nothing here, to be compared with a one hour and thirty minutes film.

This was a blast and incredibly fun to watch -BIG THANKS TO THE BOYS IN CAMERA AND BEHIND! It felt like watching some classic and tense action I had not seen in decades, reminded me of the SWAT series when I was a kid, but totally revamped and mixed with ROBOTECH...People producing big budget action movies should take a few lessons from this. Forgert Rambo, never mind the Expendables -they ARE expendable indeed! Movies like this, short or long, have been missing from the movie market for a long time. Even if you do a generic action movie, you have to nail the action and the suspense in the right blend so that even if you don't care about whats going on (a stolen nuke... again) at least you care about what happens to the characters -of whom, really, you just know they are some kind of special soldiers. These people could do a modern remake of The Guns of Navarone and totally hit the mark -fast paced action and suspense, in a hight tech setting with an infiltration and assassination plot.And I never liked the Ghost Recon games!

This is an excellent Short !!! I was hesitant at first and probably expecting very little in 20 minutes. Boy, was I more wrong. This Short really blew me away from start to finish with no lag time in the action.Great pace and fluid story told in near future-tense. It is well directed with great special effects and camera work. Acting is surprisingly well done as well Rhea Scott should be proud. One would hope that this could be a full feature release some day.Thanx Again.

This short is not just a short. Basically it's being a 20 minutes long (with 5 minutes of credits!) advertisement for a video game. So a very long commercial but luckily also an expensive looking and skillfully made one.What the short does well is capturing the mood of a video game, with its story, settings, characters and events. It also shows some of the weapons, tactics and skills that will be present in the video game but it doesn't every do this in a too obvious or distracting way. It's all integrated pretty well into the movie. Seems to me that they even used some voice actors, that normally work on the type of video games, which this movie is advertising for.But one thing that is obvious is that they went for spectacle instead of realism. It doesn't exactly feature the most likely plot and some of the things that are happening are just not likely to ever happen in real life. The way I see it; this is just a short that everybody would love to be able to make, with a bunch of friends (if you are a guy that is). A bunch of shooting, a bunch of running, some explosions. It's a typical guy flick, with plenty of action going on in it. In that regard this short is simply being a very watchable and maintaining one, which you shall not get bored with.There really isn't much story present though. It's all some very typical stuff, in which a bunch of special forces infiltrate a Russian base. Really, if you have played a bunch of video games or watched plenty of Chuck Norris flicks, you have all seen it somewhere else before. No real surprises in this short and the surprises that do happen are actually the more weaker moments. So it's far from a perfect short but the professionalism it got made with ensures that it still remains a perfectly watchable one, that still offers plenty of good stuff.7/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
