fesddd When I read Veteran. I think of a person that has been to hell and back, a man that knows all there is to know about armed combat.The director behind this movie is trying to make his main character, the Veteran, look like if he has experience from the war of Afghanistan.It is confusing. The man, the Veteran makes it obvious that the director have told him to look cool, to look like a experienced solider. The actor then went home and watched a couple of Die Hard movies to learn some tactical moves that he should use in "The Veteran".What I don't like about this movie is that we are to believe that this man knows what he is doing, when he in fact knows nothing about armed battle.This whole title are going thru a battle of bad actors.

Bene Cumb The plot as such seems realistic, but there are several unrealistic scenes - above all, related to shadowing and final shooting. The total conspiracy is also difficult to follow at times. It gloomy and gray background is probably meant to stress the overall mood, but it becomes annoying in the course of time. The very ending is too sudden as well.And, as we do here with a so-called solo film (the leading character always visible), the selection of Toby Kebbell was probably not the best - he is short of charisma and particular features needed for such a role. Brian Cox and Tom Brooke were more catchy to follow; anyhow, murkiness and low spirits were too prevailing.As a film in general, it is okay, perhaps even more, but for a British thriller, it is rather mediocre - just remember films by Guy Ritchie, for example.

xiferfrost The cinematography was fine, I actually like the fact that they made everything realistic. The only thing that is unlikable in this movie was the storyline mashed-up. There are things that are uncertain, there are things that are not clear or lacking of foundation.There was two main story that was mashed up in this story. First is the part where the main actor is dealing with the drug dealers, and second is the part where the main actor acquired a job as from another party.These could have been a better movie if the two main story was related to each other.Mystery unsolved about the girl.

DreamBliss OK so here's the second movie in the last few weeks that has awoken my ire. I really liked the acting, photography, transitions, and our hero. However I hated that fact that...(START SPOILER) First off our hero is too easy to sneak up on. It doesn't match the professional character portrayed elsewhere in the film, nor does it match the reality of an experienced soldier's training and reflexes. Our hero is supposed to be a veteran, but people, one of them a little kid, sneak up on him 3 times. He's also caught off guard once, leading to his capture. Oh and our so-called vet is a complete idiot. He listens to Cox's character at the end and goes off on a one man war against the gang, but they don't have the girl like he was told. Cox told him that to ensure he could not rescue the girl. He wanted to send our hero off to his death. But the director/producer/writer aren't done enraging us, nooo. Next the vet wades through the gang, only to get shot from behind in the side of the neck by an twelve year old punk and conveniently he's out of ammo, so the kid is able to come up and shoot him in the head. He never rescues the girl, never gets proper revenge, its another, "bad guys win, lets make a great movie with a great story and great characters but give it a tragic, artsy ending" (END SPOILER).I really wish people would stop making this garbage because there is nobody on earth who can honestly say they like it. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this, unless you enjoy being really, really annoyed!
