One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Derrick Gibbons
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Actually, it does for a fact contain spoilers.I think it's pretty obvious that the makers of this movie had put no effort into making this movie. First of all, if the supposed terrorists blew up a plane to kill a bunch of political whatevers (I'm sorry if I can't remember exactly what) what would lead these innocent little kids to become targets? The Elite is so bad that all I did was stand back and marvel at it. From the extremely pointless kidnapping of the computer programmer just to operate a battleship to the "bar fight" scene on the battleship at the end, this movie is so horrible that it becomes fair quality. And let's not forget the part when that guy gets blown up by the cannon. You can't possibly take this movie seriously. It's so ridiculous, it's beautiful.PS: For all you FOX Sports fans, there's a guy in this movie who looks a lot like Joe Buck.

So, I will just comment on the realism and accuracy of this movie. First of all, they could have had at least one person there who knew how to hold a gun. You cannot shoot an AK-47or an M-16 with the butt in mid air. Not only did they do that, but they had amazing accuracy - absurd.Second of all, where the heck were the Marines on the ship? Each ship has to have Marines at all times. This ship had not a single. Again - absurd.Few good things: The girls were all really attractive. The final battle was pretty cool.

Higher than expected production values, an exuberant young cast, some occasionally witty banter, and non-stop action make this extended buddy film a lot more fun than one expects in the low-budget action genre. Yes, the plot is formula, but the characters are likeable and good-looking and the pace never lags.

This grade-B flick is actually a cut above your typical made-for-cable fare, notably because there is a semblance of plot to add to the by-the-numbers action sequences. A young "elite squad" of trained anti-terrorists take on Jurgen Prochnow in a by-now expected villain turn, and there's a personal twist to the proceedings as well. All of the cast is awfully pretty (at first it was difficult to distinguish between any of the three blond male leads, two of whom are twins!), and the beautiful Maxine Bahns kicks some terrorist butt as well (not so far-fetched, as I learned from her IMDB bio that she's a triathlete in real life). All in all, a pretty decent way to waste a sleepless night while surfing the cable box. 2 stars (out of 5) on the Corkymeter.
