Armed Response (2017)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Admirable film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Liked it. Strictly. A Sci-FYI flick. I've seen it twice now and the first time was ok, this time I got bored with it several times. Slow starter in finding the other crew and they only located 4 as they showed and there were to be 6 stationed there. Wesley Snipes finally got what he deserves. Haha

This is the third time recently, I have been the only one in the cinema, and the second time in about a month for a movie which doesn't have a Boxofficemojo page, and with a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. A recently abandoned prison is ... haunted? Alive, ... via artificial intelligence? ... and kills a group of people working there, knowing that a specific military group would be sent to investigate, and it would be the same people who are responsible for a killing in Afghanistan, and this haunted/ alive prison kills them one by one, after having " judged them " , while each person individually plots to double cross and kill each other ... ? I don't know, this makes absolutely no sense, and​ it genuinely left me feeling disoriented afterward. I'm not joking, I sincerely felt like I was in a fog, and couldn't immediately think clearly after this one, basically speechless as to what I had just witnessed.Director/ former actor John Stockwell has his moments, but this isn't one of them, but at least he, and cinematographer Matthew Irving, try to make this good looking, but novice screenwriter Matt Savelloni's incoherent screenplay sinks this from minute one. ( Why was the opening scene, of the kid dying, even here? It has no effect on the plot in any way. It seemed like it was going to be yet another film where the lead actor has to rise up, against all odds, and redeem themselves, but happily, that's​ not the case here. Faint praise that. )Any Wesley Snipes' fans who may watch this just because he is in it, and featured prominently on the poster, will be sorely disappointed, as he:s just standing in the background during most scenes. There is no real main character here, most characters have about equal screen time, and a lot of it is just them looking in empty rooms, and shouting, " Clear! " for most of the early scenes.The most baffling moment comes when the building comes to life, and grabs a guy by both arms, and simultaneously rips both arms out of their sockets

Mistakes A U.S. Army Specialist Four (4) E-4, emblem on hat (Special Four (4) Issac (Wesley Snipes)) not a Leadership Position, would NOT be In Charge of Anything, a Corporal E-4 considered the lowest Leadership Position in rare cases when a E-5 Sergeant is not available, not even in cases of U.S. Military Special Warfare, as there are no "Enlisted" nor Junior NCOs (E-4 Corporal to E-6 Staff Sergeant) due to the Years to almost a Decade just to train new U.S. Military Special Operations Team Members so by the time they are Active Special Operations Team Members they are already E-7s or Higher.Intelligence Agency types would never wear Enlisted Ranks, at the very least they wear O-1 U.S. Military Officer Grade, so that if necessary they can Order and get some Support from U.S. Military.You need a better more experienced U.S. Military Technical Adviser.National Security Assets (Facilities). I am omitting this detailed part, as what an actual "Armed Response" would be, as currently would be used for Real. Let's just say a small "Team" as depicted would not have been sent to investigate.As far as building a Computer and writing Software (a Program) as depicted, Highly Probable, due to Moore's Law, and the Fact that for quite some time the National Security Agency has been designing and building their Own Computer Processors that far exceed the power, speeds, and capabilities of any Civilian Supercomputer.

Armed Response is a low budget action/sci-fi movie starring Wesley Snipes and Anne Heche amongst others. A special forces team is assigned a mission of going into a highly classified location known as The Temple. The Temple is where a super computer used to interrogate high profile suspects is located. Upon losing contact with the team which was guarding it, a rescue/investigative special-ops group is sent in to assess the situation. They discover that everyone is dead and that there is a wanted war lord locked up in the facility. The plot thickens when it turns out that the super computer in fact killed almost everyone and has now locked the new team in the facility and will not let them out. They have to work out how and why this is happening. From there the movie gravitates more towards sci-fi and horror action. Overall it's a poor effort. It had some potential but it was wasted as the acting is wooden and the dialogue goes from mediocre to bad. The effects are as one would expect from a low budget production and the big twist is easily predicted and not that difficult to work out. The actors seemed to try but the story and script obviously did not leave much to work with. Not the worst movie out there but its predictable and not really worth the time of watching it either.
