Comedy? Spy Drama? Kind of Fun--But just so so really.
17 April 2011
This was more a spoof or comedy rather than a semi-drama like Burn Notice and I was not expecting that. I thought this was going to be a legit prequel to the TV show rather than a movie in the vein of the old Bruce Campbell days of The Army of Darkness.

That being said the storyline was mildly entertaining and did have some humor but it's hard to make a funny movie about soldiers trying to kill civilians. Add mediocre comedy writers, actors who apparently don't know for sure if this is a comedy or drama, and you have a movie that falls short of being great at either one.

Kylie Sanchez with her girl next door looks, was as always cute and lovable just like the role she played in Glades. She was a bright spot in an otherwise sort of bland cast. Jeffrey Donovan appears briefly, but dressed like a Cuban Guerrilla fighter rather than a spy. Again for the hardcore Burn Notice fan, his attire and attitude seemed out of place.

If you are a Bruce Campbell fan from way back the movie is a must see. On the other hand if you are a Burn Notice die-hard then I suggest skipping it.
