5 Oscar wins for a real life Counter-Strike movie. I dont think so. Even though the movie was definitely different and showed a side of counter terrorism with a very fresh perspective, it still did not come close to having what it took to receive 5 Oscars.

A team of 3 is what defuses the bombs in this movie, one of the members is replaced, with a guy that knows what he is doing, but seems to have a couple of screws loose. Internal turmoil, dramatic scenes, triumph shown in character, showing how one person can take something so personal, but then leave his real life behind for the life he leads overseas.

I can easily say this was a good movie, that is not in question. The characters were well done, the acting was definitely the highlight to these actors careers at this point, the script was not bad at all and the cinematography was nicely done as well.

8.5 / 10

The Final sets the standard for all of those whom were tortured and pissed off in high school. It is a gore / horror movie with a different perspective I have seen in other movies.

It is of course and above all just a movie, but the reality of its situation made the movie enjoyable and watchable. Of course not for kids, of course not for those whom already some sort of idea of doing something of the sort to someone. [Not saying someone would]

Gore, Drugs, Alcohol, stuck up kids, bullies, the victims and soon to be victim, all embodied in one movie. I thought the movie was going to be a pure piece of shit, as most high school movies often are and make absolutely no sense. But this movie did not disappoint as much, as it showcased a brutal reality, and made it that much more believable.

I by no means am saying the movie was without flaws, because that would be downright stupid. But I will say it was enjoyed and watched in good company. Nothing better than some simple gore to start up a night. LoL

Regardless, give the movie a shot if your into movies such as Saw or Hostel. This of course is not as gruesome, but it definitely is more believable.

6.5 / 10 [Not a 7 due to some poor acting parts and some shitty scripting moments.]
