Daniel Gorman In Review Online 11/01/2022
All would be forgiven if the action was top notch, but instead it’s merely serviceable. ... A case of a young director calling their shot, or pure hubris? Possibly a bit of both. Go to Full Review

This is a fun one and should be checked out by action film fans. Go to Full Review

3/5
Unashamedly and proudly a throwback to the era of straight-to-DVD action thrillers, Section 8 really has nothing new to say and is just a slick, modern spin on every routine action movie cliché imaginable. Go to Full Review

It almost becomes a running joke that the “elite squad” of the title consists of morons who have no idea what they are doing. Go to Full Review

That being said, there is nothing really wrong with Section Eight, apart from a lack of ambition. This film remains so much in its own lane that there is no effort involved for audiences. Go to Full Review

When will every ex-military operative get the memo that the shadow company recruiting you to help pay the bills or get some payback is not what you hoped it would be and you will end up having to fight against? Go to Full Review

Feb 23 Had a good plot, but the actual execution was trash, fighting scenes were sub par at best. The voice acting was despicable. The movie seemed like it was made of a garage. For a movie that came out in 2022 it made itself at the bottom of the barrel maybe even below that. Would bit recommend ever. See more luke b Feb 22 Very good premise of a film started okay but the execution was lacking in several areas, jumped around too much, was no actual plot, just feels like a college kid came up with some ideas and could figure out how to link them, shooting scenes were dreadful making pistols sound like smgs, people who are supposed to be trained killers can't shoot a person running in a straight line, save yourself some time and go watch something else. See more Mike B 06/23/2024 There’s a few issues with director errors, character direction and plot holes. Fight scenes were good and enjoyable. Scott Adkin’s doesn’t get much screen time but definitely steals the spotlight. Mickey rouke I was expecting more but was underused. Overall it’s worth a watch, would give a higher rating, but there’s a few too many errors. See more Dave V 03/18/2024 Some good twists and turns. Suspenseful and some good action. I liked the movie a lot. Once again the critics were wrong. If you want action aand twist and turns in the plot it is definitely a good watch. See more Laurie S @Karlwinters 01/04/2024 Jake was supposed to be Special Force yet the pussy way he fought would make Jack Reacher ashamed to be associated with this numbskull. The film was absolutely dire. See more ed b 01/31/2023 It is an OK film to pass time but very predictable and poor acting. Some good play fight scenes. See more Read all reviews
