      Audience Member Fairly obvious that this is a straight to video movie. As a Navy buff, I was interested in the USS Oakla (which does not exist), then they show the captain in a USS Oakla hat "SSN-798". About lost it. SSN is the desgination for a nuclear sub. SSN-798 is the USS Massachusetts, don't think it has a flight deck. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member (10%) Poor Wesley Snipes having to be in crap like this. The script even for an action movie (the better action movies always have at least quite good scripts) is really, really poor, cliched and bland, the supporting cast wouldn't be out of place in a daytime soap opera and a lot of the "action" is made up of old stock footage of planes landing on aircraft carriers again and again. Snipes, just like certain cheapo Seagal movies, is not actually in the movie that much, and when he is he's given just as bad lines as everyone else. There is one OK action sequence, but the awful and boring army intelligence scenes feel like they make up at least half of the run time and they just ruin everything. Snipes deserves better. Avoid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Lame Wesley Snipes direct-to-video action flick. Like most of Segal's weary direct-to-video films, this one was is also set and filmed in super cheap eastern Europe with a tired story of Chechen rebels taking over an abandoned nuclear reactor. Ho hum. Wesley uses his title marksman skills to thwart the bad guys. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Plain action flick with Wesley Snipes...awesome! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm an action junkiby heart, and this movie was not Snipes' best film, however it was still a good movie in it's own way. ful of action, but the story line has been done before. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member mediocre low budget movie, boring, poor script, poor acting... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
