Our Review: Well, surely the casting was for Bill Mummy from Lost In Space, and not Billy Murray, the Brit-Grit Copper that caught more blaggers than D.I. Burnside on The Bill. From the off-set of this film you are pulled into the plot, shaking, not stired, before realizing that both Billy Murray and Craig Fairbrass have suddenly lost the plot.
Though we haven’t seen any of Stuart St. Paul’s movies, it would maybe be a hazardous guess that he has not been Directing films for long! Because on the other side of the lense, what we see is the very amateurish acting, very bad continuity and a basically fantastic Brit-Grit movie that has just died on its a… After watching “The Last Seven”, we believed that Craig Fairbrass had really got it going. Unfortunately, both Fairbrass and Murray appear to act with bad direction.
The violent scenes of battles with the Russians and the Brits is pretty in tune to satisfy the Gore-Hunters, while the rest is too fast-paced and misdirecting from a storyline point of view. Ambient music going on in the background would have been welcomed during any part of this 1 hour 30+ minute movie, though the intro and rolling credits music is great.
DVD Archive Rating: 6/10 [7/10 if Billy Murray became a real Ex-Millitary Soldier]
