31 North 62 East (2009)
is this director serious???
This film has so much potential with what could have been a decent Tom Clancy-like storyline. I was intrigued by it and decided to take a gander at this obvious 'B' movie in the hopes that I might be pleasantly surprised by a diamond-in-the-rough. I was really hoping for a "The Final Option" type of flick ...
It wasn't!
I tried to write a full commentary of this farce but just couldn't justify the time it would take, this movie is that bad. Lets just go over some of the poorer (or more comical) moments ...
- A female captain in the British S.A.S. - French operative wearing low cut blouse with skirt in downtown Beirut - another busty French agent able to record secret British Prime Minister conversations ... anywhere? - a Muslim assassin with fake DD's straight out of penthouse magazine (Irag edition) - ex-intelligence agent making a raid bra less with loose, baggy top flapping in the breeze ... are you seeing the trend here? - Italian Special Forces looking completely amateur wearing ill-fitted undone fatigues - S.A.S. soldiers looking like a group of 50-somethings pretending to play war
This movie tries so hard to be serious yet comes up with the above examples (and that is just a short example of a long list) of why this director is a complete joke. He has done zero homework on any facet of the movie he is making and the events and scenes he is trying to portray. Obviously NO military adviser was on set to make any of it realistic. The action scenes (what few there were) would have been better choreographed by a group of children. Editing was performed by my dog. Decent actors Davies (tries too hard to be a reincarnation of Churchill) and Sirtis (who just looks old and tired) must really be hard-up for a paycheque to be dragged into this mess. What more can I say, save your time and money and go rent "The Final Option" for a good look at the famed S.A.S., real acting and good action.

It is worse than everyone states!
WOW. I cannot believe it. I read all the reviews prior to watching this thing. I didn't think anything could be nearly as bad as the comments written about this movie. I figured, how bad could a war movie really be? Well, I can honestly say, it is worse than anyone before me described. I got through, painfully, the fist 10 minutes or so and just could not do it, I wan't about to let a couple hours of my life go to waste watching this tripe. Thansk God this was a bootleg copy that I paid nothing for so at least I didn't waste a dime on this sham of a movie. This director is a complete and utter joke, incompetent, useless and clueless. The entire cast and crew should be utterly embarrassed and humiliated to be forever a part of this 'movie' (and I use that term loosely). No one affiliated with this movie should ever be allowed near a camera again, either in front of or behind one. It doesn't even deserve to be called a movie let alone grace the pages of this website. It should be forever removed from history.
