AWOL-72 (2015)

Awesome Movie

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This movie was so pathetic!! The acting was so terrible!! The only person who deserves just a bit of credit here is Conrad, and that's just a little. This movie was as awful as the acting of the detective and the pregnant wife's "girl friends". I would never advise anyone to watch this pathetic movie! It also contains an element of amateurism. It was really bad. I swear you picked the actors from a super market in some town! DO NOT WASTE YOUUR TIME! CANT BELIEVE I WASTED MINE. I DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE GOOD THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE! PATHETIC! As for the script... I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO BEGIN TO MENTION WHAT I THINK OF THE STORYLINE!!

"This will all be over with soon." Conrad Miller (Goss) is a marine in possession of classified government information. When he leaves his post to investigate what he has many people are upset. Now, he is not only trying to evade the CIA, but the LAPD, a Russian agent and an assassin who not only want the information for themselves, but him dead as well. I thought this was actually better than I was expecting it to be. Most of these action B-movies are identical and formulaic. While I can't say this one wasn't I will say it was entertaining enough to keep me watching. Luke Goss is a good choice for this genre of action but even he can't make a movie like this better than it really is. The movie itself is entertaining and I have seen much worse, but its really nothing amazing or anything to rush out and see. Overall, entertaining enough but really is the kind of movie to just put in and veg out to without having to really think. I give this a B-.

This movie is worth a watch, neglect my 5 rating. Here's why:I really liked camera work. Good cameras were used for this movie and really good cameramen. It's really nice to watch.Luke Goss was pretty good in this movie. He's good at playing tough guys. But there were a few other actors that were not that good.The story is not very good, but it's OK. It's not fast paced, but still pretty intense. However sometimes it's hard to understand what's happening.There's a lot of thing happening in this movie, so it's quite hard to predict what's going to happen next.On overall it's an OK movie and it's the first movie I have seen with Luke Goss. I really liked him, so I'm planning to watch a few more movies with him ;)

Watched this movie with a friend and we both thought it was worth a bucket of popcorn and the 1.5 hours. Is it academy award winning material? Absolutely not. Is the storyline new or innovative. Again, no. However, I thought Luke Goss had good screen presence and to see RZA continue to branch out of his music origins is a welcome sight. A previous reviewer focused on RZA's poor acting skills. I didn't see that. This is his 3rd movie that I have seen and I see him getting better. I must state that Bokeem Woodbine's character was unimpressive. He tried to do the 'hard/killer' roll and it fell flat. With all that said I suggest to take a chance and have a look see. You won't be blown away but you won't be disappointed either.
