Mission xtreamly bad

My golly. A friend sent me a link to this and how I wish he hadn't. I have recently signed up to IMDb simply to review this.

This is a short film written by Dave Baker. also staring Dave Baker...And yes Directed by Dave Baker (it's one of those movies)

I'll start with some of the good things about this film. Considering the budget they done rather well getting some of the locations they did. Jim Sweeney is also excellent and stands out A MILE.

Now the bad. The story line, the writing, the acting, the directing, the editing is horrible as well. I do understand this was done in a low budget but that doesn't excuse some of the simple errors.

The story is really bad, some student wants to interview an assassin. What like you just pick up the phone and say ''Hi, I was looking to interview a stone cold killer'' Yeh I suppose it happens all the time.

Anyway he gets the interview and follows him around. The script is nonsense as well. about 95% of what is said has no relevance to anything at all.

The student asks forced questions like ''why do you have dead eyes''. To be fair the student looks like he's done this movie to help out a mate. And Dave Bakers acting is somewhat stale and cliché saying things like ''I smelt what the man had for breakfast'' and ''you can kill a man with dead eyes''.

The other review of this film that calls it 'profound'. Whoever wrote this review could I please have the number of your drug dealer because you must be smoking something good.

A young filmmaker, Grant Timmins, finds himself documenting an upcoming mission by a band of veteran soldiers. Their leader is Ryan (David Paul Baker), who lets Grant film his almost every move.

Don't think this is just some mindless action-adventure. Filmmaker Baker delivers a strong tale of not only a mission, but a coming-of-age tale with Ryan as a sort of unlikely father figure.

This low budget feature incorporates great acting, cinematography, and editing. Better still, it's a fast movie with a lot of staying power - and some great dialogue.

If you love action films with substance, this one is for you. MISSION X will definitely make your night worthwhile.

Fantastic for a low budget feature

Firstly I have no idea what Mr Dave Hannah is rambling on about, it looks like he has A possible personal issue with the Film maker. In my opinion I thought Jim and the student had the most bland acting.

The Film successfully created the sense of what the students point of view would have been like. Grant finds himself in a situation where he gets more than he bargained for, taken along on a ride with a group of mercs on a mission of revenge. I liked the fact it's not a typical Hollywood heist film with over the top shooting, instead it creates a feeling of realism as you basically get to hang out with a bunch the lads, finding out that they aren't all a bunch of blood thirsty killers.

The movie is very fast paced with plenty Of action to keep you entertained. The sound of the weapons are very close to the real thing. Watch this movie and you will not be disappointed
