Land of Bad

Like ice coffee: it'll perk you up but isn't as cool as it wants you to think it is. A decent action movie that delivers on its promises, although it doesn't promise a whole lot. This mix of 13 Hours and Zero Dark Thirty has the action and keeps it up for 90 minutes, which is more than I can say for myself so... Recommend. PS The cinematography is high caliber considering it's 'just' an action film.

>*"CIA and DIA... Alphabet soup motherfuckers..."* Went in expecting what the title promises and ended up enjoying this from start to finish, so... *Land of Good*. Granted it doesn't reinvent the genre by any means, it's all stuff we've seen before and not much of this is memorable (except for an explosion scene and any scene in the dark and filth), but ***Land of Bad*** is action packed all the way. Explosions galore, gun fights, missiles, grenades, hand-to-hand fights and some gory bloody kills. The story is so generic and the characters (apart from maybe Russell Crowe's) are very generic, what do we even know about the main character except that he likes Froot Loops? I enjoyed the change of scenery and characters between the acts, kept it captivating. I think they could have trimmed it a little in the second act in the forest though, it was overlong. My favorite moments were the hand-to-hand fight in the house, the explosion and anytime our characters were filthy in the second half. That was the longest NBA game in history
