Stonehenge Apocalypse (2010 TV Movie)
2/10
Interesting Plot, poorly written...

Yes, there was action, and no it wasn't well thought out. OK, that covers the review... (read the other reviews for details) NOW... My issue with this movie is the use of the actors as targets in a shooting gallery. OK, so where is it written that all bad guys have guns (even automatic weapons in England where a sharpened screwdriver is considered a deadly weapon) -BUT- All the good guys NEVER have guns. No, it doesn't matter if they are being shot at. Good guys ALWAYS run past every single gun, and try endlessly to "talk down" the bad guys with guns. This insane plot rule drives me crazy. In the movie, despite the good guys KNOWING they are going after "Terrorists...with guns", they just do not pick up a weapon... not even a sharpened stick. Naturally this results in the good guys ALWAYS getting shot, sometimes over and over again. Yet they never willingly pick up a gun. Same kind of thinking that results in schools, shopping centers and public places of all kinds with "no carry" gun policies being turned into favored terrorist shooting ranges. Perhaps i'm being too harsh, after all it IS supposed to be England after all, with it's "no defending yourself under any circumstances" attitudes,policies and laws. Still, the characters in this movie drop like flies with varying shocked expressions on their faces. After all, everyone knows the best way to deal with terrorists is to talk meaningfully to them. Right? Go ahead, try that, you just may say something memorable that will be remembered forever... on your gravestone.
