War Games (2010)
2/10
Not sure how this is getting good reviews.

OK first things first, this film is bad, like a film students first movie bad. It has that awkward disjointed type of acting where the lines don't so much seem to be in response to what the other person said, so much as canned exclamations that don't really fit.

The plot doesn't make much sense, and also has a weird vibe like it's trying to portray veterans as some kinda of sadist psychopaths which feels a little insulting. There also seems to be a complete disconnect from logical behaviour, with the cast regularly doing the exact opposite of what you would expect someone to do in a similar situation, the landmine scene?

Top this off with the bad guy having the weirdest mumbling accented voice that is legitimately so hard to understand I almost put on captions, a musical score that seems to be picked randomly from someone CD collection which feels completely out of place everytime it chimes in and a cast you honestly barely know and couldn't care less about.
