The Mercenary

Art department continuity fail , alongside cardboard acting , one minute nails through the wrist next scene bandages with blood marks in the forearm , and eyelines looking no where tbey should , I would be ashamed to put my name to thi steaming pile of horse.....

I did not like the beginning of this movie. But after main character Max gets to the priest it kinda picks up and gets better.

When you are in the mood for mindless action and bloodshed this one might be the right choice.

It's not per se a very good movie, but also not as bad as some make you believe.

Do not expect a big budget Hollywood action flick and perhaps you will like this one.

Maxx (Dominiquie Vandenberg) is a member of a mercenary military squad led by LeClerc. They battle Islamic terrorists in Africa and the Middle East. During a raid on a drug cartel in Colombia, Maxx tries to protect a local from a rapist mercenary. Maxx has his throat slashed and left for dead. Without a voice, he is nursed back to health by Father Elias and his congregation. He even joins the Father until his past revisits him.

It's an action B-movie. It's solid for what it is but it doesn't have the it which could elevate this to something more. It doesn't have the charismatic lead. Vandenberg seems to come from the stunt world and has a good look for a villain. He's basically Michael Ironside without the good guy charms. He doesn't have the sly fun. The action is solid shooting action and some fight action. It's nothing spectacular and it's as big as the limited budget would allow. It's mindless action without any wow factor.

This movie is not that bad, sure the script or plot are weak but it is fun, perfect for easy viewing and in mood for something really light. Credits for the actions, quite well done!

Here we have a pretty decent action flick. Coreographies and action scenes are pretty well done. On the other hand weak plot or script, but who cares on an action B movie. Overall a good one if you're in the mood of watching some action.
