I was informed of this film since an actress I am a fan of was in it and has been hyping it up so I thought i would give it a go. A shame her scenes were cut! worst decision ever imo!

I'd like to start on the good points I think. With it being low budget what was actually achieved was pretty amazing. The locations special effects and so on were really great!! The fact that a team of local cast and crew managed to do it all with such a low budget is commendable.

I also think that the PTSD side of it was spot on and did actually strike a nerve with me. It's something that people need to be more aware of and the events portrayed with the main character in this after service happen far too frequently and it needs to change. a relative of mine suffered badly with this so i applaud showing it.

That said - What the heck was I watching???? I genuinely felt like it was some college boys wet dream!! It was as if everything that could be crammed into a film to make it ADULT was and it came off as cheesy and very laddish. Overuse of swearing to the point it was cringey - way too much gratuitous nudity without even much to see - a seemingly forced sex scene - drug use - blood and gore. Heck they even added in child death!!! All they needed was a minority and animal death and they'd be 8 for 8!! It was as if someone woke up one morning and wanted to add everything from their 80s action flick fanfiction collection into one movie. It just didn't work!

Not only that but the acting was abysmal. The lead actress was wooden and I genuinely cringed several times when she was on screen because of just how poor she was. I don't know if that was just the direction or what. The relationship and sex scene was so forced I actually rolled my eyes and gave myself a headache. Hell the extras were better actors than the main cast!

The nudity was so frequent I actually started to say 'oh no not again' which is a first for me. When that happens you know you're losing. It was more objectifying than providing anything to the film - something for the chav lads to go PHWOAR over as they chug their cans of Fosters or Carling.

Great action scenes, cliched plot, wooden acting, not using the cast to their fullest, too much in one film. Too bad.

Bad acting, bad sound mixing. I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie but was very disappointed.

Appalling script, acting and accuracy. This attempt at portraying UK special forces and domestic terrorism/gangsterism is so banal it is almost funny. The body count in one short film is higher than all the gun deaths in the uk for a year. Our special forces are not that ignorant and ill disciplined and this is just an insult to all those that serve.
