cpad12 Seydina Baldé is a better actor than Barak "I'm-not-a-communist!" Obama.He can swing a karate chop faster than Obama can sign an Executive Order.Since being a natural born American citizen is no longer required, Seydina should run for U.S. President!What a great movie!If Seydina were the American President, he could cut our taxes because he could defend himself.We wouldn't have to waste taxpayer-dollars on a Secret Service that visits whorehouses, allows psychos to hop the White House fence or allows armed, disgruntled nut jobs onto the same elevator as the President.Seydina could defend himself!And if he disagreed with a Republican member of Congress, well he could just karate chop them across the throat.Done, end of conversation.Seydina is the bomb! He is the best!

edorado-256-207672 The main actor moves in slow motion. The directors have no idea that in North Korea men serve 10 years mandatory military service and women 7 years. The North Korean commando who raided Blue House was an elite unit, but it still gives an idea about the martial arts training North Korean soldiers receive.This movie depicts North Koreans worse than a caricature. I suspect it is funded by US Army to serve propagandist purpose.I understand that it's difficult to get North Korean accent speakers in a movie, but those actors sound worse than Konglish. The 90's famine propaganda is also shameless.There is nothing else to see but goofs and propaganda.

Mark Tran A colleague of mine, which is a friend of one of the producers asked me to watch and review this film. I didn't really know what to expect coming into the movie as I'm more of a sci-fi kinda guy. To my surprise I was quite entertained...Solid story line, very good action scenes and a believable cast. What stood out the most was the lead actor...charismatic, sincere in his role and quite skillful for the action genre. For what it is (a non-Hollywood controlled-budget movie), I'm giving it a perfect mark. Keep up the good work...I would definitely like to see more from the lead actor and this creative group.

A_Different_Drummer ... you are ever likely to see.The genre is ... confused.It is has simultaneously elements of a martial arts film, a spy film, a comedy, and a horror film.For example, there is a lot of humor around and about the topic of North Korea. Being from the west, I was not even aware that this was a bountiful source of material for comedy, but the screenwriter clearly saw the matter differently, and wrote jokes accordingly.The shifts in mood & tone are unpredictable, and that is not necessarily a good thing.A North Korean officer runs into the barracks only to find one of the soldiers reading a porn magazine. So he takes out a gun and shoots him in the head. In an adjoining scene a captured spy is being tortured by having his intestines removed while he is still alive.Not quite as funny, that second bit..All this takes getting some used to.Nor does it help that the protagonist, the hero, speaks English with an odd accent. Now, in fairness, Jean Claude Van Damme did the same thing at the beginning of HIS career but I somehow doubt that Sedina Balde is about to follow in Van Damme's footsteps. More likely, he is simply going to be a bottom-tier action hero with an annoying accent.The director TRIES. Boy does he try. There is a scene where simultaneous fights are taking place on two contiguous floors of the same building and I swear the camera angle actually inverts (goes upside down) to prepare the viewer for what comes next.That is a very cool scene, perhaps the highlight of the film. Seriously cool.Other directors will see it and copy it. It's THAT good.Unfortunately, it comes near the half way point and its is all downhill from there.------------------------------------------------------- PS added 11-12-14.
