Stratton

I think it looks like a very intriguing thriller with cool espionage and intense sequences. I think ultimately what makes the movie great though is the cast especially Dominic cooper. The trailer has me intrigued to see what happens in it. I of course think suspect did a great job of making a trailer for a movie that I hear is unremarkable. This man has unbelievable skill.

I am here as part of suspect green's experiment I think the trailer he made for the movie is good, the film does look intriguing, but I have not watched the movie itself so I don't know whether or not the movie is good.

great movie, always would recommend.

Really enjoyed the movie, Acting was good. Great sound affects form start to finish. I give this 4 star's. Good movie.

Typical plot, empty building sets with lots of gunplay.. The acting was alright when you could understand what they were saying. It pretty much was a waste of time!

This is your basic Spy Flick. There is nothing more. The Acting is stale. Plot is slow. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s a one time turn your minds off popcorn movie.

I watched STRATTON this weekend. Well, I got exactly what I expected. A generic, cliche, geo-political, conspiratorial, espionnage action thriller. I saw this movie with this exact mindset, and I got what I've come to expect. So, the positive points with this film. Well, for starters, the action scenes are not bad. Yes, you heard (or should I say read) me correctly there. The action scenes are not at all bad in this film. As an action junkie myself, I've seen all too many movies with choppily-edited scenes, infinitely minute frame-rates and unwatchable shaky-cam. This movie, surprisingly, had none of those. It was just decent action, and dare I say it was even a bit enjoyable. So there you have it for action. The actors are pretty good in this movie. I think that Dominic Cooper is a seriously under-rated actor, and he and the rest of the cast did a good job. The plot is thin but bearable. I mean, you can watch the movie without rolling your eyes out because of the plot. Now, I only have three major issues with this movie. The first issue is the lack of character development. Everyone in this movie is just blank. I mean it. They are all the same, and not even Stratton stands out. Look, here's an example. Stratton will risk his life to save millions of people or save a fellow comrade on the battlefield. However, later in the movie we see him tie up an unarmed man (who has a family, by the way), leave him in a building and intentionally blow it up, thus killing him. We literally have two opposing personalities, and I just couldn't help but noticing that characters were just absolute crap. Same for the villain. His motives are never explained. He's just bad because he is. Secondly, the pace. Now, the action is good. We talked about that. Nevertheless, there were moments when there was serious drag in this movie, and it was boring. There would some cool spy stuff going on one moment, and the next Stratton would be having a casual stroll in the park with someone and talking about boats or the weather. And last, it's the fact that this movie tries to take itself seriously. It is most probably low budget, and it decided to have a bio-weapon-threatens-to-destroy-London plot, international conspiracies, and even decided it was cinema-worthy. NO! This movie is not cinema-worthy. And whenever the characters even try to read lines to render the movie MORE SERIOUS, I nearly laughed, because it just DIDN'T FIT. Look, this would have been a perfect direct-to-DVD film. It tries to take itself seriously. Does that make it a bad movie? Of course not. I even had a good time with this movie. But it's not something to get excited about. Watch it if you can find it on-demand, otherwise, you can leave this one be.

Opens like a video game. It's standard stuff. Worth a watch if there's nothing else on Doesn't tax the watcher

A decent cast just can’t be arsed to give a decent performance as they are let down by lack of budget and poor writing. Connie Nielsen English accent is one of the worst put to screen. Plods along I guess and is short so you prob won’t get bored you’ll just lose interest pretty fast so it becomes nothing more than background noise

While it is fun stupid action, exactly what you would expect. I find the lack of attention to detail to annoy me more than the stupid predictable plot entertains me. For example. In the first scene, the two operators both have grenade launchers on their weapons which you never would have in a black ops mission. And when they then get chased by cars none of them actually uses their grenade launcher. And in the boat chasing scene the sight he has on his gun is a holographic 1x sight, but when the viewers see the reticle it is a Russian style sniper scope.
