“According to my research, this film is originally from 2004, called u0026#39;The Fallenu0026#39;. Not sure yet whether this was an edited re-release, but it has the same cast, director, and plot. u0026#39;The Fallenu0026#39; has a runtime of 112 minutes, while u0026#39;The Final Sacrificeu0026#39; is only 81 minutes. If it is indeed the same film, note this review is for u0026#39;The Final Sacrificeu0026#39;, which I firmly believe is an edited version.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor such a short film, it certainly wastes a lot of time with moments that should have ended on the cutting room floor. I didnu0026#39;t connect with any of the characters. Since I never really got to know the characters, I didnu0026#39;t root for any of them. Also, none of them stood out as heroes. They were all unexplored, shallow characters and I couldnu0026#39;t really tell them apart.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe attack and killing scenes had little to no emotion. Much of the film played like a comedy, resulting in no suspense whatsoever. The actors also didnu0026#39;t seem very enthusiastic. At times it felt (and looked) like a stage production. I found it boring and pointless with very little action. The action scenes also literally only lasted a few seconds, allowing you no time to get into the action. The lighting was bad, the effects were bad, the script was bad…. Then again, maybe its expected of a B-movie. This was by far one of the worst war movies Iu0026#39;ve had the displeasure of watching.”
