Just what I expected

Good movie but grossly overrated

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

When I read Veteran. I think of a person that has been to hell and back, a man that knows all there is to know about armed combat.The director behind this movie is trying to make his main character, the Veteran, look like if he has experience from the war of Afghanistan.It is confusing. The man, the Veteran makes it obvious that the director have told him to look cool, to look like a experienced solider. The actor then went home and watched a couple of Die Hard movies to learn some tactical moves that he should use in "The Veteran".What I don't like about this movie is that we are to believe that this man knows what he is doing, when he in fact knows nothing about armed battle.This whole title are going thru a battle of bad actors.

This movie would have gotten a 10+ from me if it was not for the ending, that sickened me. I loved this movie, it was great, the acting was awesome, the end enraged me so bad i don't think ill be able to sleep tonight.This guy was the English's Charles Bronson! For God's sake why kill him off? Don't the English believe in sequels?This Robert character was no pretty boy type, his strength and skill as a fighter was believable. The sense of honor he had was what young children now a days need to see. Just like John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn or a Matt Dillon or a Rambo. You English finally had a believable tough guy. unlike your weak doctor Who or 007's and your great writers killed him off. I would have paid 50 bucks at the box office to see part two, with a bullet to his forehead i wouldn't pay one thin dime. Who ever wrote the ending should be flogged. All your other tough guy actors are like ours in the USA steroid and abdominal plated infested, fake tough guys.

Someone wrote, quote: "I new nothing about this film before seeing it and had no expectations whatsoever. As it started I feared it would be a re-trodden path of the ex-soldier having a hard time readjusting and dealing with depression, which in a way it was. However, the story soon split into several subplots, raising my level of interest and intrigue, before building into a crescendo of a well acted and nicely, gritty shot espionage film.I read the review by Ced Yuen, and I'm a little surprised someone would try to dismantle this film and attack it's exaggeration of reality in terms of how a returning soldier would react and how non-realistic the ensuing action was. This film is pure entertainment, with a gritty, sue-do- realism that is obviously from the mind of a writer who intended to entertain with an interesting and exciting story. It's not supposed to be a documentary of great insight into the mind of a war veteran.I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and recommend it if you are in the mood for something different, yet very entertaining, with a nice mix of genre that you would not usually come across. "totally agree, very bright and a good movie.

I have no idea why England seems to put out the most depressing, not to mention, unrealistic movies, but I should have known better than to have even started watching this dismal waste of film.To cut to the quick. The bad guy dies, the good guys win, we have no idea what happens to the girl, and ultimately the world is run by evil people and the most you can hope for is that they kill you last. Seriously, why have the writers of this movie not committed suicide already if they see the world as such a dark, hopeless place?There are so many holes, unanswered questions, loose ends and implausible scenes that you get the impression the writers believe everyone is too stupid to care. I am angry that I wasted an hour and a half of my life watching this nonsense.
