Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical plot, empty building sets with lots of gunplay.. The acting was alright when you could understand what they were saying. It pretty much was a waste of time! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/19 Full Review Audience Member This is your basic Spy Flick. There is nothing more. The Acting is stale. Plot is slow. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s a one time turn your minds off popcorn movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched STRATTON this weekend. Well, I got exactly what I expected. A generic, cliche, geo-political, conspiratorial, espionnage action thriller. I saw this movie with this exact mindset, and I got what I've come to expect. So, the positive points with this film. Well, for starters, the action scenes are not bad. Yes, you heard (or should I say read) me correctly there. The action scenes are not at all bad in this film. As an action junkie myself, I've seen all too many movies with choppily-edited scenes, infinitely minute frame-rates and unwatchable shaky-cam. This movie, surprisingly, had none of those. It was just decent action, and dare I say it was even a bit enjoyable. So there you have it for action. The actors are pretty good in this movie. I think that Dominic Cooper is a seriously under-rated actor, and he and the rest of the cast did a good job. The plot is thin but bearable. I mean, you can watch the movie without rolling your eyes out because of the plot. Now, I only have three major issues with this movie. The first issue is the lack of character development. Everyone in this movie is just blank. I mean it. They are all the same, and not even Stratton stands out. Look, here's an example. Stratton will risk his life to save millions of people or save a fellow comrade on the battlefield. However, later in the movie we see him tie up an unarmed man (who has a family, by the way), leave him in a building and intentionally blow it up, thus killing him. We literally have two opposing personalities, and I just couldn't help but noticing that characters were just absolute crap. Same for the villain. His motives are never explained. He's just bad because he is. Secondly, the pace. Now, the action is good. We talked about that. Nevertheless, there were moments when there was serious drag in this movie, and it was boring. There would some cool spy stuff going on one moment, and the next Stratton would be having a casual stroll in the park with someone and talking about boats or the weather. And last, it's the fact that this movie tries to take itself seriously. It is most probably low budget, and it decided to have a bio-weapon-threatens-to-destroy-London plot, international conspiracies, and even decided it was cinema-worthy. NO! This movie is not cinema-worthy. And whenever the characters even try to read lines to render the movie MORE SERIOUS, I nearly laughed, because it just DIDN'T FIT. Look, this would have been a perfect direct-to-DVD film. It tries to take itself seriously. Does that make it a bad movie? Of course not. I even had a good time with this movie. But it's not something to get excited about. Watch it if you can find it on-demand, otherwise, you can leave this one be.
