497e39180f Corporal Evan Albright (Charlie Weber) joined the elite Marine Corps Security Guards to save the world and see some action-not necessarily in that order. But his first assignment, protecting a U. S. Embassy in a seemingly safe Middle Eastern capitol, relegates his unit to wrangling &quot;gate groupies&quot; protesting outside the compound and honing their marksmanship by playing video games. So Albright and his team are caught off guard when well-armed and well-trained militants launch a surprise attack aimed at killing an informant in the embassy. Heavily out-gunned, they will have to muster all the courage and firepower they cantheir once routine assignment spirals into all-out war. A group of Marines must protect a US Embassy in the Middle East when it suddenly comes under attack from enemy forces. It could have been an 80s Movie. We have our loose Gun/Action Hero, we have our blond hottie that will run around with a gun and fihgt like the bigguys and we have our Villain running around always angry.<br/><br/>The acting is between mediocre acceptable and bad but not awful. The technical aspects are partly not even bad. Seem like there was some serious training involved.<br/><br/>Sadly all that seems to be forgotten when it comes to the actual gunbattles. At least they change sometimes a magazine but it is still those endless rapidfire gunbattles with 30 round mags that hold 200 bullets. <br/><br/>And while the good guys got easy overrun in an heavyguarded and well defended Embassy and die like flys, at the end it turns around. While having close to no cover, outgunned, out manned the terrorists drop like flys. <br/><br/>So the action part is 80s style, but still try to be serious like a modern Warmovie, trys but fails to be realistic. <br/><br/>It even has some slightly critic undertone about politics and agenda of the government, same time it ends up in a bug hurra marines are the best. And of course our Loose Gun turns out to be the superhero that saves the day…<br/><br/>All in all a weird mixture, not really entertaining but also not too boring, something you shouldn&#39;t think when you see it and you wont after you did. I really enjoyed it. I wanted action with some back up story and acceptable acting. I got that and more. Acting was pretty good, with some good actors. A ton of nonstop action and a good story and kept me on the edge. I think some wanna-be soldiers expected absolute perfection and that just does not exist.<br/><br/>Action 10/10. Directing: 7/10. Acting: 7/10. Script: 7:10.<br/><br/>Would like to watch more movies like this.<br/><br/>–- I got nothing else to add. Just watch the movie! Never understood all the amateurs whose reviews consist of &quot;trailer&quot; type scenario. Why?! If I wanted to know more about the movie, I can watch the trailer and not read it!
