I have to admit pretty cool over all. They could do without the American Gladitor "hamming it up" but I loved the graphics and video game feel of the production. The camera work was a little quick, but they were going for a sense of urgency and that worked. The early missions looked a little staged. One shot one kill. no paint seemed to be hitting anywhere else. But toward the end the paint started to fly. Still it seems too easy. It appears the players have to follow a prescribed route that would make them too easy to eliminate yet they waltz through most of it. The helment cams look cool, but from the couple of clips they showed from them it doesn't appear they are worth the effort. Thomas Fletcher www.ragtopvideo.com P.S. Didn't USA have a show called Combat Zone where real soldiers/police used the mile system to complete missions? The video was cooler on that show, but it was CLEARLY staged as they had bullets bouncing off walls and ground. Something they couldn't have rigged up unless they already knew how it was going to play out.
