He Who Dares. Minute by Minute.

Few pointers.

1. Worst entrance for a Villain ever. Every villain in move history has
some kind of entrance or some kind of motif. This guy walks down three
stairs, buttoning his cuffs. Note to novice director: If you want to
give a character status, don't have him walk DOWN stairs because he de-
limits the frame. And what is more, don't let the sound-mixers use
cheap effects to devalue the moment and don't let your editors Slo-mo
your footage, AND, don't have the actor perform some menial task that
hides his face. Such a simple, simple trope within this genre, the
first hurdle, the first door and the Director/Writer/Producers fell,
shamelessly. Poor, poor, poor.

2. Zooms are out of date. Especially post-edit Zooms. Whilst a subtle
one or two here and there can heighten tension and can flag something
important... (As well as other things), the pornographic uses employed
by the editing team here, just cheapen the film.

3. When it comes to the mix-down - Don't use monitors, use headphones.
(Just a little tip if your non-digetic sounds overpower your digetic
sounds).

4. Research. I'm sorry, but if there was a coup d'etat in Nicaragua,
NATO wouldn't get it involved.

5. "Major lolZ" at the marriage scene. (With untouched cold food I
might add).

6. Good work on the first casualty of circumstance. The little elf...
*beep* you know what I mean. Gotta hand it to you, laughed out loud
at that bit. Good work.

7. When casting your lead, don't ask him to grow a beard like you did
with Fat Hans Gruber.

8. Don't give your lead over exuberant, overly tacky dialogue. It just
cheapens his effect on the audience. It really does.

9. Why build up your villains out to be cruel hearted and malicious
buggers in a way that only makes them look stupid? - You get "My
Message"?

10. Okay, we get it, it's Christmas eve. You like Die Hard. We get it.

11. Poor character choices/IQ: Okay, I can understand a quivering
wreck. But a girl clever enough to know that her Daddy "Doesn't
negotiate with terrorists", must have the intelligence to find out what
the villains wants BEFORE he kills her mates. What the hell shoddy
writing is this? - I KNOW there are tropes, but I mean, c'mon... Blonde
girls aren't stupid by default.

12. A Villain good enough to set this up, must have the money to afford
a better base of operations than a Wallpaper Paste table.

13. SAS doesn't stand for "Shoddy ass Soldiers". Who directed this
action? I'm non-militaristic but even I know some of the basic
operating procedures one should employ in a fight-or-flight situation.
Shocking, shocking.

14. Are there fat S.A.S?

15. The technician trying to crack the code uses a VTECH machine?
Really?

16. Haven't you heard of a little thing called Freedom of the Press?

17. Rolling Shutter is a pain in the arse isn't it?

18. Seriously, the S.A.S didn't see her coming a mile off? S.A.S now
stands for Stupid Ass Soldiers.

19. Speaking of "Her" - Did she get Carte Blanche on her own approach
to her role or did you just ask her to copy off the (check that), TRY
and copy off Katya (Kayla/Lilya, really?) in Die Hard 3?

20. Again, speaking of "Her" and "Her Scene". Can you get any more
amateur than that? Seriously is/was the director norking her or
something? - And when you shoot someone in the head, I'd imagine there
would be more blood and more "limp" in his body. And what kind of S.A.S
carries his sidearm in a pocket on his tact-vest? - Furthermore, did he
not see her coming? Did he not think to whip it out and take her with
him????

21. Has anybody seen Clive?

22. S.A.S enter a potentially dangerous space and proceed to walk
directly in the centre (Bypassing all cover) without any reccy or
cover? Really?

23. Thank the lords she's been killed off.

24. It appears out Protagonist (and the film), has turned into Metal
Gear Soid... How sweet?

25. A line to the Prime Minister in just 6 hours? You have to be
kidding me... I mean it's not like you have his daughter or anything...

26. He shouts too much.

27. Have to say, that's the best fight scene in a car that I've seen
since... Well, since... (Not the Matrix)... I'll get back to you on
that one.

28. The Henchmen Vs Hero battle is terrible, simply terrible. I've seen
less cuts in a suicide ward.

29. When Alice and her mates decide to "Get the *beep* outta here". WHAT?

30. What the hell is with the terrible FX-Plug ins?

31. Yes, I'll go and wait in an Indian restaurant swarming with Police.

32. Hahahahaha - That helicopter shot! Like an old 70's porn cut-in.

33. "Detective - How does it feel to be the hero of the hour? - "Just
another day of the week." - Classic line, right there.

34. WHERE THE F IS THE PRIME MINISTER????

35. Well don't Mr. Tant, I didn't think anyone could produce more
drivel than some of Danny Dyers epics. But you have pushed the boat
right our sir.
