Back to the firing range
In case you haven't realised (and the description hardly makes this clear), this is a mini-series of 8 episodes, supplied on two discs. It's not a movie as such.
If, like me, you sat down to watch this expecting a polished Hollywood affair, the low-budget, obviously made-for-TV opening might disappoint. It did me.
However, stick with it until the second or third episode and things do improve. Whilst you begin to wonder 'how on earth are the writers going to make this story last for 8 episodes?' they do actually manage to pull it off.
I'll leave the discussion of the story to someone else, but I will say this - all the characters need to go back to a firing range. There are many occasions where both sides in a gun-battle are armed with automatic weapons and a seemingly endless supply of ammunition. But, despite firing at each other at near point-blank range, no-one seems to get hit. Amazing... -

Starts off alright
First episode is fine - good storyline (seen similar plots tough). Then comes the second episode - revisits the first and then adds 10 mins of plot in 45 mins - getting a little dull. Episode 3 revisits episodes 1 and 2 but adds only 5 mins of plit in 45 mins. See where I'm going. The Fast Forward button is seeing some action now!
By episode 5 - complete tangents and about 2 mins of valid plot and some other dross. This is a con, I'm thinking to myself. Need new batteries for the remote! Lost the will to live so GAVE UP. I really couldn't care what happened!
Typical American TV clap trap. If you like cr*p like LOST then you will like this. If you like cr@p like BIG BROTHER at 3am you'll love this.
