Hostile Forces

I'm not surprised at the fake reviews. At this point, with these movies, it's expected. I lose so much respect for the movie when that happens. I was going to give this a 2 but now, it gets a 1. This movie is low budget, so like I've been saying in my reviews lately, don't expect stellar acting. I will say it wasn't terrible but those fight scenes were hilarious. You won't be on the edge of your seat due to a thrill but more so a laugh. Darn close to falling out of your seat. You could clearly tell they were over rehearsed and over acted. You could also see there was absolutely no real strength to at least make them believable. What also threw me off about this movie, was it seemed like every scene was literally shot once. This movie just had very little effort put into it. It was an ok watch and I recommend it if you have nothing else, but please with these phony reviews. They are just as laughable as those fight scenes.

This is a really bad movie.. weird storyline, the acting was strange.. fake and unbelievable fighting scenes. Hate this movie. Doesn't pass the vibe check.. the family cant act,except the lady who tried a little bit but the other bad guys were just weird and have no acting skills.

DON'T BELIEVE THE FAKE REVIEWS - CLICK ON THE REVIWERS NAME SO YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE LEGIT They say directors should get better withe every film - unfortunately George Basha has NO idea about storytelling. After 4 films you think you would understand how to tell a believable story. This is by far the lowest budget George has ever had on a film. There is nothing believable about this story and it starts with the ridiculous title - Hostile forces, is this an ARMY film? NO it's not. It's a about a family who are staying in a bush cabin, and they find a bag of money, the BAD GUYS come to collect it and the main character Mikey refuses (for no valid reason) if you want to protect your family - you give the bad guys the bag. So instead, the bad guys need to enlist like 10 guys to hunt down 1 man - Rambo anyone? This then becomes a terrible rip off of beloved films like First Blood, Predator and Commando all rolled into one. Even with the cheesy one-liners of those 80's film - this will never even be an homage to those film. They then run around the bush trying to kill Mickey whose ex-army and of course they need 10 guys to kill him, and they all have NO chance. The acting is terrible, the lead actor George has no gravitas or presence to pull this off. The bad guys are almost cartoon like in their clunky dialogue and look, the music is a bad cheap rip-off of many brilliant film scores and the rest of the cast have no talent whatsoever. There's a hot teenage daughter who can't act but great to look at. Maya Stange is wasted here by far the best of the bunch, why she agreed to do this film is baffling. The teenage son can't act, there's nothing interesting or compelling at all. Some of the fight scenes were good BUT not great, especially Ali Kadim (a guy to watch) - he should have been the lead of the film. After watching the terrible childish and amateurish dialogue you can't take this film seriously and you shouldn't. BUT even these films should have some sort of respect. The cinematography was mediocre, it was GOOD but not great. The Combination has been the best film thus far from George, but he didn't direct that one - David Field did, George only wrote it. I'm so disappointed that I didn't like this, I have watched all of George Basha's movies made. Sorry George everything above is an honest and constructive critical review. You don't understand subtext, or character development, you don't understand truth in an acting performance, you don't understand story or character arcs and you definitely don't understand plot holes. Your film needed the right people in the roles of screenwriter, acting and directing. Well done for getting another film done but if you choose to continue collaborate with people who have done great things, and they will elevate the film.

I have seen all of George Basha's films, and one thing I've noticed is how the level of violence keeps getting elevated with every film. This is the most violent one, and the action sequences, the choreography and fight scenes are absolutely incredible. The film has an amazing array of visual appeal, set in the dense wilderness of the exotic Australian bush, the scenes captured in the film are really mesmerizing and have had an unforgettable impact. It has everything you'd expect from a George Basha film: a heroic lead, lots of action, and all set within an immensely riveting drama. Highly recommended.

I am tired of people who obviously push a movie for whatever reason in a review. I have noticed an ongoing trend of seeing these amazing reviews for these average at best movies first up by people. This movie is not an 8 or a 10 but far from it. It is obviously a low budget film following a tried old storyline of a family in a cabin and things go wrong then they must be killed. I am not sure what the others were watching but it is far from a good movie or a brilliant 8/10. I think honesty is the best policy and yes, we all have our own opinions, but let's be fair to everyone in a review. In this movie you will not sit on the edge of your seat, the acting is only ok and the action so so at best. The bad guys who are meant to be professionals always miss their shots, the good guys with very little military experience cannot miss, and those professionals cannot track a group who obviously have no formal training in evasion. Writing a review is meant to be balanced assessment and I assume truthful. I would just say it is a 4-star movie at best and therefore do not expect a lot from the movie. If you go into watching this movie with a balanced view, you have the best chance of enjoying it and not being disappointed + think you wasted your time (in my humble opinion).

It was really good! Maya! She's such a great actress. Everything she has been in she is just so talented! George brilliant. It was good to see him play this character protecting his family. He is an Australian action hero. The kids wonderful actress and actor. Can't wait to see what they do next! Good to see such a lovely film come out of our country. We watch so many Hollywood films but it's really a breath of fresh air seeing a film from our own backyard. It was original and the acting was brilliant. I liked the characters too. You got to know them in such a short amount of time and love and hate them. Each and every person behind the scenes and on camera did such a good job Well done. Worth the watch.

Good >> a.) Just a few cuss words. B.) Violent but not as violent as it could have been. (Man protecting his family from those who wish to kill them.) c) Only sexual scene was the threat of rape with NO nudity. Soso >> a.) As many action flicks, the good guy gives the bad guy(s) chances they deserve not and seem unnecessary. Great >> a.) Characters were great, very believable. The dad, good honest calm man, yet dangerous were needed. The mother, same as the dad. The son, a teenage boy acting as one without much experience. Very believable. The daughter, the bratty selfish princess, yet nice to look at, player her part convincingly. Would watch this again. Especially with someone who has yet to see it.

I sat down to watch this film with my father and to be honest didn't have any expectation . My father wanted to watch an action film and we decided to watch this title as I saw the trailer . I loved the whole concept and the performances of the actors in the film. The chemistry between the lead character and his wife was very believable and heartfelt . The fight scenes were very good and believable without all the Hollywood exaggeration. The music was so good and so was the locations the film was shot at. My father really enjoyed it and he very rarely sits through a whole film unless he really enjoys it. This is a good little film without the big Hollywood A listers which was a breath of fresh air.

Gave this chance on the high reviews, I also don't mind a low budget film but sorry this is bad. Not sure how old George is about 50? Did he wake up one morning and think I know let's make a really cheap Rambo film today ? The result a very bad Rambo film made in 24hrs. . . Must try harder. I need 600 characters but not sure what else to say.. Maybe I could be in part 2 and make it a 5 star film, George if you read this I'm available free of charge, I know all the mid 80's action classics to help bring the ratings up to the right level. How much did this cost to make I wonder ? Will this review make it ?

The film is a worthwhile watch. It showed a normal family, good dynamics, wanting to spent quality time together but face a horrifying ordeal. George was fantastic. A fierce character with great morals. He played the role of a protect father perfectly and at any cost. The action was crazy, perfect cast selection and great location. Maya was definitely a stand out for me. She was nurturing to her kids, whilst being the right hand woman for her man. It's always a great feeling to see an Aussie movie on the big screen. Well done to all. Can't wait for the next one! Highly/strongly/definitely recommend the film and rate it an 8/10 🙌🏼
