B-Shooter. When terrorists with vile terrorist purposes kidnap a famous scientist, and a military conspiracy is brewing in Washington, who will stand on the path of justice, but an ordinary marine who, by the will of fate, finds himself in the very center of a multi-level game of politicians and corporate heads. On the way, he will have hundreds of identical enemies, a stupid, linear plot and a disgusting oak action, staged by the organizers of children’s matinees. But nothing can stop the brave Marine, because behind the scenes plays an endless banal soundtrack, designed by drums and dudels to hint at the eastern origin of the villains, which means his mission is not yet completed.
According to the structure of its "Without weapons" resembles one of the hundreds of computer toys produced by unknown craftsmen about shooting and terrorists. The main character jumps around the locations, periodically repulsing the raids of enemies climbing from all crevices, periodically absolutely useless dummys are stuffed into his allies, which he needs to protect, bullets do not cause him much harm, because everything heals on him in a matter of minutes, and in general, only the mission pointer hanging from above is not enough to the full set. The plot of the film is straight as a rail: here are the terrorists, here is the ultimate goal for you, go ahead and urine everyone, along the way fulfilling the mission. And I, in principle, would not mind having all this proper quality embodiment, in the end, most of my dearly beloved films have no less straightforward plots, but all this is more than compensated for by a masterful action and drive, which does not restrain anything superfluous. Here... I honestly, more bland and boring filmed action has not seen since the days of game action movies Uwe Ball, there at least the weapon had more than one computer sprite shot. Enemies (I swear, it is every time the same people, they even on the extra money did not have enough) shoot anywhere, but not at the hero, guns often shoot only with sound, forcing actors to humorously imitate recoil by shaking a useless thing in the air, blood from hits appears on great holidays and then no more than a couple of drops – ketchup in our time became very expensive, the authors were able to afford only half a bottle. The quality of the production is so disgusting that the whole film I was waiting for the appearance in the frame of Steven Seagal - his invisible spiritual presence on the set of this film is felt in every frame.
To hell with it with a meager budget and other ensuing - the movie "Tom Shell" is simply not interesting to watch. The villains are cardboard to their very depths, some make cunning plans and spiteful faces, others carry nonsense with a played Eastern accent and pose with weapons. Both varieties have been beaten by generations of unscrupulous directors to the state of a vegetable, and in our time to use them in their original form is a grave sin and brutality. First of all, the viewer, because as much as possible. The dumbest scenario twists are guessed three hours before watching the film, again super-heavy chips, again nanotechnology, again scientists who wanted the best, but it turned out as always, all this is a dull carousel spinning against the background of flat and boring characters, of which only about the personality of the Marine can be written more than five words - and three of them will be his name and title. The rest were two-dimensional overlays on the frame, and will remain until the final, as you do not force them to conduct dialogue about their own past. And I repeat, this is not compensated for, but only aggravated by lousy shootouts and lazy fights, causing a deep yearning for the militants of the 80s, where the grass was grass and water water, and generally everything is better than now. And it is better not to waste time on all sorts of fakes, but to watch exactly those movies with explosions and blood, and let this misunderstanding remain drifting in the pool of its own shame - there it belongs.
