I'm running out of things to watch on Netflix since Coronavirus lockdown, so gave this one a go and thought it was pretty decent. It's violent and fast which are two things I like in movies. After a quick set up where some guys planting landmines in a field and killing animals for sport, we see a bunch of youngsters arrive in their hunting grounds. You can guess where it goes from there. Some of the deaths are brutal but I wouldn't class it as a gory film. Acting is all fine. The whole film looks real nice and the music is kind of trippy too. It's worth a look.

Dumb kids stumble across bad dudes, much violence and death ensues. Pretty much covers the plot. It's not going to win any awards for originality, but it's got some cool set pieces and some satisfying death scenes. Most of the characters are pretty paper thin, but the actors are all committed and sell the story well. The main bad guy is hard to understand, but he's got a great face, and he's double mean. Beset watched on a few beers I think. Wont be for everyone, but I love these wacky survival flicks personally. Take your brain out and go with it.

Poor acting quality, lack of emotions, stupid sound, she left a gun, and forget about it and watch her sister dying instead trying to help or do something

I'm sure this is a good film but I lost the will to live watching it. I really struggled to follow the dialogue as there was just too much background noise over the top of the dialogue. Did no one actually listed to this in post production.

Great concept but poor delivery. Actors must have been selected on their low pay rate rather than ability as there isn't a believable moment in the film. Action is slow and poorly executed. Audio is terrible. I guess it'll appeal to some. Personally it's one of the worst I've seen this year. I don't usually rate a film on whether it's got a big budget or not because I enjoy low budget movies aswell but this one is like its been made by kids. The camera work is shoddy at best, not sure what the director was going for. Give this one a miss. It isn't horror. It isn't action it isn't thriller or drama it's just a mess. One can't help but wonder how this made it into production.

Title: War Games Directed by: Cosimo Alema Storyline: We're first introduced to two men planning landmines in the wet ground. We're also introduced to them as the villains as they steal dogs from a gas station and shoot them for fun. We are then introduced to a group of people who are going out into the woods to play a game of airsoft. One of the group explains the rules of airsoft to his friends. They start actually playing airsoft, they go around using military hand signals and tactics. Making it looks like a semi believable game of airsoft, it is only semi believable because the people spend more time hitting the water than they do hitting each other, which they do non of until the plot calls for it. Two of the group come across the butchering base of the two hunters who were out killing dogs, it is full of blood and body pieces. The slaughter begins with one of the guys shooting one of the group while their talking, I would be saddened by this if I could remember anything about the character, at this point all I know is that he is the only one with an actual firearm. One of the group runs off by himself and runs over the mine that was planned by the two hunters at the beginning of the movie, yet another character I do not care about. The hunters then smoke out the group to get them to run, and after this it is a basic hunting them down one by one story. The blonde one runs off by herself once they take down one of the hunters, but she is selfish and takes the gun with her as the other 2 surviving ones go to find the sister of one of them who was kidnapped first. The surviving girl is able to smoke out the last hunter and kill him before walking off home with all of her friends dead. Acting: The acting seems quite stale for the most part, stale but oddly realistic. Even if I couldn't name any of the characters personalities off the top of my head. Or even point out who was suppose to be the main character... Noticeable Camera work: Within the first 10 minutes you can see why this movie is down rated so much. The audio is not lip synced with the actors so you can see the actors mouthes stop moving before the audio stops. The shots are your standard run of the mill shots for the most part, but you do get some gems of alternative angles and shots such as voyeuristic shots and others such as focus pulls that you would miss if you blink at the wrong moment. During the airsoft fight there is a bit of shaking cam going on which I am not a fan of even when it is done correctly, which it is not in this movie. Length: 90 minutes Overall Feel: This movie disappointed me greatly, the concept of the movie could have had great potential, but it makes me watch characters I don't care about debate relationship things I don't care about. The guys in charge of camera and editing seemed to do their jobs OK. This movie surprisingly had a cinematographer and I say surprisingly because the range of shots go from more than standard to less than great. The movie also had 2 people working on sound and some how it was still un-synced. The acting was tolerable, it was at that grey point between decent acting skills and no acting skills, constantly moving up and down the point. Half of the crew looked like they worked hard on this movie, whereas the half looked like they were just doing this to make a bit of money. Disappointing to say the least, especially as the concept and box art made it out to be a great thriller movie. Thriller movies work best when you care about the characters and want them to survive.

This is really bad I don't know if anyone esle spotted this but lot of people in the film sound the same even the women

I couldn't finish watching it, it was that bad. Obvious foreign movie. Couldn't tell whether the actors were actually speaking English or whether it was dubbed as it sounded stereo typically dubbed. A lot of these reviews state it was good viewing but sadly not for myself and I love action, thriller and horror who also writes reviews on such films.

I thought that War Games was one of those really nice surprises. Its one of those films that you end up catching by chance that turns out to be a nasty, cool little movie. Its about some kids who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time and get messed with by the wrong people. It's kind of similar to pretty much every movie like that, that you have ever seen, except what I thought was cool is that the film creates this really cool atmosphere, and really shows the beauty of the nature of the wilderness that the kids have gone to. Its kinda strange that this nasty stuff is happening in such a beautiful setting. Most of the characters are pretty generic, cardboard cutouts, but the actors do a good job with them, and keep you interested in their fates. I think on the whole, War Games works best when it catches you unaware, one of those films that lets you drift into it, and suddenly it's got you, and I love finding films like this.
