Any movie with the same cliché plot as "Ernest Goes to Camp" is gonna be a real stinker - particularly if it tries to be serious. Evil corporation tries to bully virtuous protagonist into selling land. Snooze.
The characters are paper thin. There is no backstory to any of them - aside from the two main guys being former war buddies. Where did the poofy-haired character meet his British/Australian wife? How did they fall in love? Where did they meet? And most troublesome - how does a former soldier have the money to live in a mansion with beautifully landscaped gardens? Yikes.
What war or mission in Africa did the ONE flashback come from? This was supposed to show the bond the two male characters had, but all it did was confuse me even more. What part of Africa (a huge continent)? What war? How did the war turn out? What did they end up doing after the war? Why is he living in the Phillipines? Why is the British/Australian wife so attached to the land? As she said herself, there is nothing but crime, gangsters, and poverty in their rural "town." Why would she want to stay, particularly since they're offering her and her husband millions of dollars for their house?
Everything in this movie was confusing. Could have been written and directed and acted by college freshmen. 3/10.
