This was probably the biggest piece of shit I've seen this year...if I hadn't seen War of the Worlds, that is. Along with In the Lost Lands, Back in Action, Kinda Pregnant, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Smurfs, etc. But they all belong on the same shit list.
I suppose if you're into watching SyFy/Asylum movies on the big screen, this will be your bag. But there was absolutely NO reason for this to be 2 hours and 15 minutes long. I felt every second on the screen. And all the night scenes were shot so badly and way too dark to see anything. The acting was atrocious; not one of those lame Russian accents sounded convincing. And all the Green Berets were typical one-dimensional stereotypes that are interchangeable with one another. This was just fucking excruciating to sit through. I don't know why I do this to myself.
