The Eleventh Hour (2008)

Let me be clear, this is not the movie of the year but this is a decent action movie. Forget the storyline, the acting (which is below average), but for your time you will get: - Some very good fighting scenes: well choreographed, realistic, well paced and above all properly edited. Remember movies such as RE: Apocalypse where you couldn't tell which move was being performed by Ms Jovovich? Well this is the opposite, old style brutal fighting scenes. - A decent spec-op style intro sequence - A very beautiful red hair damsel in distress - One very angry muscular hero. That's it, so you are warned. Go watch it if you like a good "kill you in two moves" kinda film. Otherwise, hit the road.

Having watched this film last night, it started off at a pace detailing the background, and character build of Michael, an ex Navy Seal, and what he had been through.Five years on from what happened in North Korea, his past comes back to haunt him, in a peculiar twist of events, which even now having watched the film, still cannot understand, how, and why.Not too bad a film, some good fighting sequences, but overall, plot, storyline, and acting are quite poor, although, as said, the fighting sequences are what make this film, but thats about it. So if you like martial arts, then this film maybe for you, but don't get your hopes up on a great ending. I was kind of deflated when I realized the film neared its end.

I am not going to delve into the story one bit here. Please look at the synopsis for that. After reading the synopsis, if you want to watch this movie then read on. This is one of the worst movies I have watched in recent times and let me tell you, I watch a lot. I have never given a user comment for a movie. I voted a few times for contributions and sometimes for the movie itself when I felt strong about the movie- either good or bad, but this one evoked so strong a response that I tracked down the IMDb page and sat down to write a warning. This is no review. Just refrain from watching the movie. Accepted that people are passionate when making movies, these people, the director, actors and all others remotely connected to this movie don't know what they are doing.

...I wouldn't mind seeing movies like this. The plot is not special but at least the acting is very bad. When i say very bad, i mean like BAD. Knowing that o bomb have been implanted in your head would make you panic like hell, but no, that's not what is happening with one of our character. She's very chilled about that and acts like a bug injected one egg in her body and a short visit to a doctor would make this problem disappear. Oh, did I mentioned that she's hot? That didn't save her bad acting though.The male protagonist is as bad at acting as the other character interprets, except maybe the actor in the senator's role (Danor Gerald) who's about to be assassinated. He is more natural than any other actor in this movie.There're some fight scenes that are pretty good, but that's not a reason to spend more than an hour watching a movie that will bring you nothing new, nothing to think about and more propaganda about evil countries.Unless you are very bored and you have absolutely nothing to do instead, don't watch this title. Do your shopping for the next month or year and also save some money.
