Also starring Kiefer Sutherland, Ben Foster, Gillian Jacobs and Eddie Marsan.
Rent do not buy @k2atydee
Okay movie if you have nothing else to watch. Some actions scenes definitely not believable. Really glad that I did not buy it.
An actual review @aramis2764
As opposed to unnecessarily writing about the cost of the movie or what it’s worth to rent and then judging based on that, I’m just going to stick to the flick.it was released in theatres at the same price and same time. Welcome to 2022. Pairing Pine and Foster again was a treat as they play well together. The action scenes were genuinely interesting and usually realistic. Pine seemed to show a different side of himself, a more aged mature type. The movie has enough twists to keep you engaged but it’s simply a great action film as opposed to a guessing game. It hints at some of the darker realities of military life, but as a whole stays firmly paced and focused on the main characters.

Totally agree with you. From the 3 studios Lionsgate is the worst. I simply hate it. So many bad films and then their price won’t go lower for months. I mean for the few titles that might be of little interest. The pandemic prices won’t work for too long anyway. People are now going to the Movies, myself included, therefore the $19.99 and $24.99 will have to go back to $14.99, $12.99 and $9.99.
Ho Well @100%alturas
With a little more time and attention to detail would have supported this plot better. Buy it with it drops to 9.99
Good Movie and Cheap Reviewers @DocNartman
Movie overall is good. Not expecting Oscar winning acting here. Wanted to watch a Tom Clancy type movie, and this served it’s purpose. If you enjoyed Amazon’s take on Without Remorse then you will be fine with this. Only issue I saw was the slightly slow start but the action pace picked up and stayed consistent thereafter. Simple plot line. Good Saturday night movie. I knew what I was getting and rented it for $19.99. I rather spend $19.99 in the confines of my home than to sit in a crowded theater with crap seats, other people, and lame food…or spend more for the higher end theaters with OK seats and Applebees level food. I’ll also comment that it seems other reviewers don’t believe in reviewing the movie but complain about the price. You clicked buy/rent. Not Apple’s or the movie’s fault you clicked it. If you can’t afford $19.99 or can’t stand to see these few dollars wasted on the movie then don’t click rent. Life choices. In summary, decent movie, I was entertained as was my family. Moving on.
