1.0 out of 5 stars Wow. Just...wow., August 16, 2010

Scott - See all my reviews

This review is from: Way of War (DVD)

There are no words to adequately convey what a horrible, horrible atrocity this thing is. Please understand, I enjoy bad movies. They're fun. This, though...this was not fun. This is bad on a whole new level, one I have never experienced. You ever wince at spoken dialogue? Like, visibly WINCE? Me neither, until about five minutes in. And it doesn't stop. Not ever. Know anything about how special operations work? No? Watch this movie and know even LESS. You will quite literally accrue a negative balance of tactical knowledge, possibly creating some kind of singularity in the process that erases all known combat doctrine from existence. Don't worry though, because you'll more than make up for that in Sun Tzu quotes. There's like a million of them here. In this movie everyone in the entire world has read Sun Tzu, and they're not bashful about sharing that fact with everyone else. MAN. I mean, I just finished watching this, and my mind is just...blown. It's blown. Even more mind-blowing, though, is that other people have rated this movie at five stars. I want to meet these people. I really, honestly want to meet them, because I'm pretty sure I have never met anyone like them before, and cannot fathom the inner workings of a fellow human being that would derive that much pleasure from this movie. I can only imagine that they're fascinating. So, while I'm giving this movie one star, I'm simultaneously recommending it to anyone who wants to expand their understanding as to what a bad movie can truly be. It's almost transcendental.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing story at best, February 13, 2009

This review is from: Way of War (DVD)

I could never figure out what happened first or next because the timeline goes back and forth during the whole movie. I could never figure out who Cuba Gooding was working for. Was he a soldier or a merc? Wasn't clear. If he was special forces, he needs to go back to school to learn how to clear a room. Also, don't they teach these guys about noise discipline? Why were they just yakking away in the middle of indian country like a bunch of newbs? Professional operators use hand signals.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simply Awful, May 5, 2009

(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Way of War (DVD)

This movie is a cheap attempt to cash in on the public's dislike for our former president. It's got almost no coherent plot line and the action scenes are just stupid. Furthermore, the ending is horrible and leaves the viewer wondering what happened to the rest of the movie.

The basic plot is that paramilitary operative David Wolfe uncovers a plot between Osama Bin Laden and the U.S. government to keep him alive because the government needs "enemies" to create heroes.

The problem is, that "message" is all there is to this movie. Without the information on the back of the DVD case I could have never figured out who Gooding's character worked for, and it's still never made clear if he's working on behalf of the U.S. government or if there are rogue elements in the government who hatched this plot to keep Bin Laden alive.

The action scenes which are supposed to take place in Pakistan are also simply stupid. They don't clear a room in any way that's believable for anybody who's even just watched it done in other movies. The other action scenes that take place in DC are also done horribly. Characters die, sometimes in violent ways, and there's no real reason given for it.

If a director and screen writer want to make a movie that alleges the U.S. government is involved in some sort of conspiracy, at least make it believable. This one isn't. I guess Cuba Gooding Jr. needed the cash because I can't see any reason why he should have liked this script, it's awful.
