Rogue Warfare (2019)

"Russian female sniper" enough said....except...

[1/10 · 9 October 2019]

I refuse to believe that there was even one military technical advisor for this monstrosity. 3 minutes in, you'll realize how bad the dialogue is. 10 minutes in, you'll realize how cliche things will be. 20 minutes in, you'll realize that the Russian girl couldn't possibly know anything about marksmanship or cover and concealment ie: barrel of weapon system hanging out of a window. Then if you get beyond all of that, there's a 10 minute rant of what looks like not even close to a Muslim radical, about how the west will never take "these lands." Not kidding, 10 minutes. Calling a 4 star general "commander"=never happen, a Lieutenant Colonel with an EIB, a beard, and about 28 years old=never happen, not having the helo stay on station while in a TIC=never happen. It looks like the Russian girl's helmet was Andre the Giant's old helmet. Every time the helos are inbound, someone says "10 minutes out." As if that is going to add some sort of military type jargon to the scene. I won't even get into the tactics. Spoiler alert: when the baddie is holding the detonator, and the "sniper" doesn't shoot him, but shoots at him after he detonates the bomb and not hitting him. Why not just shoot him in the first place? I could write probably 10,000 words about what this movie gets wrong. I can write a few words about what it got right....it ended....kind of... even that, they f'd up.
