This 2012 film runs for only roughly 19 minutes without credits and that's possibly the best thing about it as I saw nothing new or refreshing here. Maybe I am a bit biased as action is far from my favorite genre, but I thought they may come up with at least some creative impact. This hope was also based on the fact that the makers behind this were responsible for the Academy Award winning short film "Logorama". Quite a career transformation actually in terms of genre. Then again, Logorama also had its fair share of action sequences with Ronald McDonald playing the Joker. In any case, I am a bit disappointed with "Ghost Recon: Alpha". I saw that this was partially based on the Tom Clancy video games. I have never played them, but I heard of them. Maybe it#s necessary to know and appreciate them in order to appreciate this short movie. But this should not be a necessity for any movie, because it would mean that people with little to no interest in video games get punished for no reason. Anyway, looking at the cast, I am slightly familiar with Mark Ivanir and I have seen Charlotte Rampling films as well. Obviously, in this one here, there is no character depth on who they play or on anybody else as this is flat-out action. What a shame. Not recommended.
