Lost mission, a review by Rich

13/11

Lost mission



A psychological thriller, about a training mission deep into the Alpine Mountains of Northern Italy, and deep into the minds of the soldiers who are about to be tested for life. Five American soldiers in training are sent deep into the woods of Northern Italy, where they encounter a deadly sniper, who seems to be following every move they make. The soldiers, led by a lieutenant that is in over his head, must escape to their rendezvous location. It's a mission their lives depend on, but will they be able to trust their own eyes and ears, or their fellow soldiers, as they struggle to survive?

Are there words to describe how awful this is? What a terrible blind buy, once again lulled into buying a dvd based on overview and cover 
It must have been made on a shoestring, terrible acting to the point it becomes entertaining, continual shots of them walking through the same part of forest (you can see same goalposts in background!!) right through the film, that it looks like a scooby doo sketch. I would bet my life a group of 13 year old kids could produce a more entertaining film in their media studies class.

Avoid like the plague

This is the first time I watched this movie in about 3 years. And I must say I really enjoyed watching it again. It is filled with lots of great action. My favorite character has to be Annie (Sandra Bullock) of course!... but after her I liked Keanu Reeves.  I think both of them did an excellent job. This is definitely one I would recommend.

EPISODE 4: PHANTOM TRAVELER
A plane reservation is a ticket to terror when a phantom traveler forces a jet into a crash landing. Knowing the phantom is on another flight, Sam and Dean board to attempt an in-air exorcism.

Guest Stars:
Jaime Ray Newman as Amanda Walker
Brian Markinson as Jerry Panowski
Kett Turton as Max Jaffe
Daryl Shuttleworth as Jack Lambert

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I liked that they made Dean vulnerable to demon possession since he was afraid of flying. They got their first clue that their father is still around and ok in this episode. Well worth checking this one out.

My Rating:
