Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Rodrigo Amaro I'm not sure if today's generation know the real dimension action movies had in the 1980's, so I definitely suggest film-buff beginners to watch this movie to have a brief understanding of the impact they had back many years ago and still have in our culture. This was made along with the then upcoming "The Expendables 2" which gathered many huge action stars from the golden era like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Lundgren and many others, and that's the most reference any viewer can get. But, you really have to experience their old movies, the whole list: Rambo, Terminator, Die Hard, their sequels and other ventures.Here's the views of film historians, scholars, Stallone, Randy Couture, writer Steven E. De Souza and others about the impact of action films in the 1980's among the audience and Hollywood, both embracing it as a powerful weapon of entertainment, excitement and dreams with their explosions, guns, fights, blood, muscles and all. Many of the opinions shared reflect that the demand for action was so popular as being a reflection of the time, with the B-star turned into man-of-action-who-defeated Communism Ronald Reagan being the American president, leaving behind the numbness of the indecisive Carter of the late 1970's. The Reagan era was a pivotal part, sure, but I think the interviewees are overreacting a bit this aspect; before the 1980's action movies already existed and they were fine. I can only admit is that they got better and bigger. Successful formulas to engage the public were created (I loved the way they talked about "48 Hrs.") but a lot of crap came in that period as well (I don't need to mention those).The limited time (30 minutes) explores a few good titles and the reasons why audiences related with the lone heroes like John McClane, Rambo, John Matrix and Murtaugh/Riggs team; or the villains like The Terminator. It's the briefest brief of all, and that can be upsetting to hardcore film enthusiasts who love to know everything about movies, like myself, but I enjoyed its proposition. It rings true though omissions and overlooks happen to the left and the right. We needed a three hour documentary on this. Don't have a point to start, this can be a good and fun guide. Or better: just check the flicks listed in the movie connections of this doc and hunt them down one by one. You won't regret it. 7/10
