At a time when there are so many ways thriving art cinema has never call a larger palace, the director. Scintilla Billy O'Brien has clearly been influenced by a number of sources and especially video games, but that, stop saying everything what. near to a coherent story
Powell John Lynch leads a group of mercenaries on an unnamed former Soviet republic, where your mission is to infiltrate a military base to recover the secrets that lie within. After underground, they discover a scientist conducted experiments splicing human and alien DNA to create a race of mutant creatures. This is exactly why it all happened never fully explained; as the story along flashlights constantly calls us to respond to the growing number of questions, but halfway, you've already lost interest.
O'Brien stole ideas from popular video games like Bioshock, The Last Of Us and Half-Life, but nothing Scintilla cleverly constructed satire, action and emotional heart. Also, of course, reminiscent of Vincenzo Natali Splice, but forgotten, a core theme to hang on the commitment of its history. The central cast are too bad, but you can forgive the script they have to work, is pretty useless. Occasional flashes occur competence here and there; there are some nice pictures and one or two atmospheric moments, but it is more than likely that all goodwill will be tested vigorously. A one to avoid for some.
