Okay, so, let’s talk about this “Land of Bad” thing. I finally got around to watching it, and man, it was a ride. You see all these action movies, and sometimes they just blend together, right? But this one, it kinda stuck with me, and I figured I’d share my thoughts and what I did to get a better understanding.

First off, I went in blind. I saw that it was some kind of action movie with, Liam Hemsworth, I think. But I heard some people talking and saying that it’s not a true story. I kinda like that. I mean, no offense to true stories, but sometimes I just want a good, old-fashioned, made-up action flick.
So, I started watching it. The beginning was pretty intense. You’ve got this guy, Sergeant JJ Kinney, who’s basically fresh out of training. He is a JTAC, also called a Joint Terminal Attack Controller, kinda like the new kid on the block. And he’s thrown into this crazy mission with a Delta Force team in the Philippines. They’re going after some bad guys called Abu Sayyaf, which sounded familiar, I think they’re a real group.
Anyway, things go south pretty fast. There’s this whole ambush, and it’s chaos. Explosions, gunfire, the works. I was on the edge of my seat, I gotta say. This Kinney guy, he’s not some superhero, you know? He’s scared, he’s making mistakes, but he’s trying his best. And that’s what I liked about it. He felt real, in a way.
Then there’s this whole part where he gets captured. I won’t spoil too much, but let’s just say it’s not pretty. He gets tortured, and it’s rough to watch. But, you know what’s crazy? He survives because he’s in this water tank thing when a bomb hits. It’s like something out of a comic book, but it worked.
After that, it’s all about him trying to escape and survive. And there’s this drone pilot, played by Russell Crowe, who’s kinda guiding him from afar. Their dynamic was interesting. It’s like, this older, experienced guy trying to help the rookie through this insane situation.
My Takeaway
- It’s not based on a true story: I found that out when some friends were talking about it, and it’s confirmed by the makers. It’s all fictional, which is cool.
- It’s intense: Lots of action, explosions, and some pretty brutal scenes. Be prepared for that.
- The main character is relatable: He’s not a superhero. He’s just a regular guy in a bad situation, trying to do his job.
- The ending is… well, you’ll see: I’m not gonna spoil it, but let’s just say it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
So, yeah, that’s my take on “Land of Bad.” It’s a solid action movie, and it definitely kept me entertained. It’s not perfect, but it’s worth a watch if you’re into that kind of thing. I thought it was a good time, and it made me think a bit about what it would be like to be in that kind of situation. Definitely not something I’d want to experience in real life, that’s for sure!
