I have to quote part of the reviewer drjgardener5' comments first to point out how badly this movie was executed, then some more:
"Couldn't afford a military adviser?
Drjgardner5 June 2023
If your identity has been exposed and your picture is all over the news, do you continue to look exactly like you look in the picture or do you shave your beard and head and wear different clothes? Maybe even add a scar? And if you're attacking a car from a helicopter, do you attack from the front, or from behind and to the left? And tell me how with no surveillance at all, you know the exact location of a car you're chasing? These are but a few of the flaws in the film that detract from taking it seriously."
Scenes from the very beginning that would put my I. Q. to test: You think that the Iranian regime now would allow the white westerners to service their most critical and important telecom system? Would allow the guy to use his cellphone when he did the repair works? Are the Iranian government so stupid and so naive to allow two foreigners manhandled their telecommunication systems? Would you believe that the Wi-Fi signals in the Iranian desert, in the middle of nowhere, maybe the strongest and most advanced?
And how long an American spy satellite could stay in the orbit exactly stay over Iran and exactly pinpoint the location where all the scenes that we saw on the screen. Or is it an American drone, a stealth one, that could permanently hover over the scenes that we saw? So far, an armed drone can only carry two bombs and dropping them by remote controllers far away from Iran. Yet what we saw in this frigging stupid movie, bombs dropped like rain from the sky in clustered formation and every one of them dropped on the Iranian military armor trucks like smart bombs. Furthermore, you think the Iranians would be so stupid and blind, allowing American drones to stay over its airspace without even knowing, and their air defense is nothing but a joke?
I've already lost my patience to watch the absurd and slow-going of the movie from the early on and the later absurdities. I would think "The Covenant" is a more believable thriller, except the cardboard acting of the guy who played the Afghanistan interpreter.
