Wesley Snipes in Armed Response (2017)
A team of special forces soldiers approach the designer of a high-tech military compound to investigate the disappearance of another team guarding the facility.  The compound, known professionally as a Temple, is an artificial intelligence powered facility designed for interrogating high level prisoners.  Upon entering the Temple, the soldiers quickly find the earlier team horrifically slaughtered but no evidence as to who is responsible.  
 
Almost immediately, the crew begins to experience strange and horrific supernatural phenomena as they attempt to uncover who killed the previous team.  Soon enough, they find a lone survivor, a dangerous terrorist who may hold the key to who killed the soldiers.

    This was less than mediocre, actually...

    "Armed Response" started out alright, but it quickly lost its momentum and settled comfortably into something less than mediocre.

    The movie was plagued by a fairly pointless story. Actually, once it was revealed what was going on, then the movie went into a stale mode and just trotted onwards without any ups or downs.

    The characters in "Armed Response" were like cardboard cutouts, and you didn't really connect with them. With that being said, it should also be said that there was actually some fairly good acting from the cast.

    "Armed Response" had a fairly adequate cast to perform in the movie, with Wesley Snipes, of course, being the big name to pull in the audience.

    This was not an extraordinary movie experience in any sense. And I can't really recommend that you spend time, money or effort of the movie, unless you are a fan of anyone in the movie.

    A total mess

    Woeful.

    'Armed Response' is, simply, a total mess. The entire plot makes little to no sense, while the casting, cinematography and dialogue are just as bad. Some of the effects are OK-ish and there are two decent deaths. Otherwise, it all makes for an insufferable 93 minutes.

    They attempt to mesh horror and thriller vibes but it just doesn't work, I didn't feel thrilled once and the horror is set up so poorly; despite a couple of alright ideas for the latter. Wesley Snipes is the all-star name attached to this, yet is bemusingly put into a back-up role behind Dave Annable. Why would you not utilise Snipes as your lead?

    WWE Studios have done far better. It only avoids the lowest rating from me due to there, somehow, being worse films out there.

    Pathetic for A Wesley Snipes Movie

    Very poor story and unconvincing acting.The Title of the movies id deceptive and does not even set the context correctly.

    Your guess is as good as mine, when it comes to the plot.

    This is the third time recently, I have been the only one in the cinema, and the second time in about a month for a movie which doesn't have a Boxofficemojo page, and with a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

    A recently abandoned prison is ... haunted? Alive, ... via artificial intelligence? ... and kills a group of people working there, knowing that a specific military group would be sent to investigate, and it would be the same people who are responsible for a killing in Afghanistan, and this haunted/ alive prison kills them one by one, after having " judged them " , while each person individually plots to double cross and kill each other ... ? I don't know, this makes absolutely no sense, and​ it genuinely left me feeling disoriented afterward. I'm not joking, I sincerely felt like I was in a fog, and couldn't immediately think clearly after this one, basically speechless as to what I had just witnessed.

    Director/ former actor John Stockwell has his moments, but this isn't one of them, but at least he, and cinematographer Matthew Irving, try to make this good looking, but novice screenwriter Matt Savelloni's incoherent screenplay sinks this from minute one. ( Why was the opening scene, of the kid dying, even here? It has no effect on the plot in any way. It seemed like it was going to be yet another film where the lead actor has to rise up, against all odds, and redeem themselves, but happily, that's​ not the case here. Faint praise that. )

    Any Wesley Snipes' fans who may watch this just because he is in it, and featured prominently on the poster, will be sorely disappointed, as he:s just standing in the background during most scenes. There is no real main character here, most characters have about equal screen time, and a lot of it is just them looking in empty rooms, and shouting, " Clear! " for most of the early scenes.

    The most baffling moment comes when the building comes to life, and grabs a guy by both arms, and simultaneously rips both arms out of their sockets

    No response

    I have to admit, something a different reviewer stated is quite right. This could easily be a Seagal movie. Now he can't act in stark contrast to Snipes, but everything else ... I can see that. Actually I'd prefer not to see that, but you get my point. I guess one of the main differences would be that the newer Seagal movie would have (female) nudity included, whatever that means to you.

    Now the movie at hand does not make much sense, there's not backup plan and no real plan either I guess. I don't think this will stay with you, technically though I cannot fault it. Do the effects and some stunts elevate the viewing experience? Probably not, but you be the judge
