Here is the Netflix pic that was a total dud! This was
possibly one of the biggest "throw away" movies I have seen in a long
time. Its hard to hate on a movie with De Niro as he is one of my
favorite actors, but his track record has been rolling quickly down hill for a
while. And then there is Travolta...this guy loves to take on a
challenge, and then fail. He plays the movie as an ex Serb soldier with a
Serbian accent, Serbian beard, and really bad acting. The plot is that
these are two Bosnian war vets who have a history with eachother during the
conflict. Travolta seeks out De Niro to take revenge for the carnage he
was a part of in the war. There are more back and forth scenes than a
tennis match, each one a little more unbelievable and ridiculous than the last.
Each time one gets the upper hand, they make a stupid mistake and find
themselves in the same reverse situation. These alleged military trained
bad asses seem to get their butts kicked repeatedly and could have just solved
the situation in minutes. I found myself saying WTF, and
"Retarded" many times throughout the movie. I will say some of the
torture scenes were creative and cool to watch but only to end with an idiotic
mistake. Then the end, well watch for yourself but ill just let you know
it was just plain stupid. Go ahead and watch if you want to waste 90
minutes and have nothing else to do. I warned you!
(FYI: Nicholas Cage was set to play De Niro's role.
Thank God he didnt or I would give it 0 stars)
