I decided that I needed to cover more Action Films here.
I need more Direct-to-Video bollocks.
I also need more Films with Wrestlers in them.
Oh look, a Russian Nesting Doll of a Film called...
An emergency call comes from them and they seem to disappear.
A group of Soldiers are called in to investigate.
Amongst the group, you have the Leader (Wesley Snipes), the erratic one (Seth Rollins) and the Lady (Anne Heche).
You also have the Lead, the guy with the tragic back-story, which brings us into Ballistica territory.
They look into what happened, eventually finding the bodies of all of the workers.
I hope you like looking at people looking at Screens.
It's as much fun as watching me write this. Hi there, by the way.
Things heat up even more when they find an infamous Terrorist Cell Leader in the Facility.
He says that he was invited.
How is that true?
Can our Heroes figure out what is going on when it seems like their former comrades are chased by unseen being?
Can this Film pass the Bechdel Test if their two Female Characters never actually meet?
What secret will be revealed about The Temple?
Who will live?
Will this actually make sense by the end?
Who will live?
Will this actually make sense by the end?
To find out, stream it now. If only I could tell you where to watch it...
A Film with an interesting concept, but pretty dubious execution. Oops, I said 'execution' about a Film set in a Prison. Accident- honest.
Without SPOILing too much, things start to get weird and there is proven to be a connection between most of the people. What are the odds of this? The incident that connects them was not recent, so that just makes it all the more unlikely. As Val Kilmer likes to say in that Meme- 'It just raises too many questions.'
The way the Film plays out is surprisingly-flat for how it's all set-up. It's people wandering around. It's people getting separated. It's one guy- usually Rollins- being an asshole for no good reason. It's lot of set-up and then a sudden rush to the end.
The way the events play out is also quite odd as the Film tries to be clever. We see people watching Videos on a Screen, zoom into it and then see it play out in real time, before it cuts back. It's kind of clever once. The 5th time- much less so.
Armed Response is a Film with a bit of an identity crisis as it tries to be Political and an Action Film...and a Horror Film...and a Sci-Fi Film...and Psychological. It's...alright. At least it has a Gene Simmons Cameo- since it was co-Produced by a Company he owns...
AR is a bit of a strange mess. That said, if you ever wanted to see Seth Rollins fight Anne Heche, your strange wish was granted in 2017.
