Lieutenant Matt Daniels leads a joint assault force in a daring amphibious raid to capture al-Qaeda terrorists who have holed up with the Philippine rebels. In the meantime, on a related mission to capture a notorious terrorist leader, Captain Amy Jenning's helicopter is shot down deep in enemy territory. Lt. Daniels must lead his team into the crossfire to save Capt. Jennings and destroy the terrorists' bio-weapons before they can be unleashed.

Summary: Just when I thought I had seen the worst movie ever...
Comment: Another failure for "Nanofilms"! I wish I had their address so that I could send them the $7.00 that it cost to make this movie. If someone could please have Rutger give me a call so that I can make sure he has enough money to eat. This movie was so poorly directed, I would be surprised if that director still has a job. For those who gave it a great review, I will give you a number for your nearest military recruiter. This movie showed an utter lack of respect for this country's military and especially the USMC. If you enjoy watching movies, save yourself the time and money and DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

Summary: The Hunt For Eagle One Sucks
Comment: I would not even rate this movie a 1 star. This is the most ridiculus movie I have ever watched. I wasted $17.99 on this I could have used the money and given it to the Red Cross. This was the worst action movie i have ever seen.

Summary: Not really that bad of a movie
Comment: I felt like I was watching something that could be akin to a video game produced by the United States Army (or maybe something from Clancy). The maneuvers seems like those that I have seen in training films, historical films, et cetera. The action is what is important, not the character development, think of this movie as one 90 minute examination of modern day combat against terrorists around the world. It isn't Shakespeare, but it isn't meant to be. Don't expect intricate dialogue and philosophy.
The story was not that bad of a story, in my opinion, at least it wasn't the Rambo "I can shoot a thousand bullets and hit every one of the enemies, and then they shoot a thousand toward me, and not hit me once" mentality of some movies out there. The movie is not a perfect movie, I wont say that it is. The story deals with terrorists and how terrorists can be found anywhere and everywhere just like real life. This isn't paranoia, this is brutal fact that there is always danger against freedom.
The torture scene, I wish to point out, is not realistic. The torture of humans is a bit more complex and a lot more bloody, though I find its inclusion in the film a good point to be made--that all these liberals whine that America "tortures" our captives, when the Islamic fanatics (not to be confused by the more peaceful Islamic) go all out of their way to torture people, especially those who are Christians (which does happen, Islamic fanatical countries do go out of their way to torture and brutally kill Christians).
Most of all what I appreciate about this movie is that it doesn't degrade the military like Hollywood tries to do in so many ways these days. For Hollywood, anyone who fights against terrorism anywhere and at any time is considered "evil" and "intolerant" simply because they are trying to protect our freedom from these criminals (then again calling terrorists criminals is "intolerant" anyway, or so says the liberal media). The men who live and die and fight another day for we who are at the home front should always be respected and honored.

Summary: B+ Movie
Comment: As with most modern B movies they are quite watchable if you have the right B movie kind of company..iE lotsa not too smart friends who just want to see and hear gun fire.
Recommended for the not too smart OR HIGH TECH inclined movie buffs ...for those who have a bit of intellect I ask you to stay away.....the stars are Big name B+ movie stars so that in itself is a good thing if you are so inclined.

Summary: True War Movie Fans Stay Away
Comment: If you are a Rutger Hauer fan then ok but bewarned that he only is in about 5-7 minutes of this 91 minute movie, his apearances are broken up into 30-45 second clips.
His acting hardly shines in this flick and the rest of the actors are for the most part in this a no show.
All in all the movie blows chunks, if you are any kind of war movie fan that expects some combat realism and correct combat terminology to be used by the actors then forget this one.
Example - Throughout the movie the marines constantly referred to the rebels as "bogies", that and other mess ups throughout the movie makes it sad and laughable.
There is no true target adience for this film, too much blood and violence IMO for the kids and the acting is way too poor to really be enjoyed by an adult.
Perhaps a few teenagers will overlook this films many negatives.
Need I say more??
