When a Delta Force team is ambushed in enemy territory, a rookie officer refuses to abandon them. Their only hope lies with an Air Force drone pilot as the eyes in the sky during a brutal 48-hour battle for survival.
Land Of Bad is directed by William Eubank director of Love (2011), The Signal (2014), Underwater (2020) and Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021).
I was actually a bit surprised to see William Eubank's name come up with this movie, I actually quite like some of Eubank's work such as The Signal (2014) and Underwater (2020). I was very interested to see how this one would be and it's quite honestly while it's not anything new and is basically Lone Survivor there's a decent amount to like here.
Liam Hemsworth is a pretty solid lead he shines the most when it comes to the action scenes. Russell Crowe steals the show and even has a subplot where he goes vegan grocery shopping for his pregnant wife. Which admittedly feels completely odd when it cuts back to JJ Kinney (played by Liam Hemsworth) getting tortured by the villain of the movie, it does take away a lot of the serious tone of the movie which will no doubt absolutely ruin it for some.
I will say it's a fun B movie with some great action scenes that are actually well done. There's a great amount of suspense during the first half that fits quite well with the atmosphere, unfortunately the rest of the movie either has very bad editing or is filled to the brim with war movie cliches.
There's not much else to say here I definitely think Land Of Bad has it's positives but is unfortunately a bit too familiar and too messy (at least towards the end) to really recommend.
Land Of Bad is available in theaters.
