ذئاب الظل

This is the second poor Prime video I've watched this week and whilst I thought the storyline was good, with a couple of reasonable actors, it turned out to be a load of tosh. Disjointed storyline, extremely poor action, elite force my arse! There was no content, action, if you dare to call it such, jumped from Mexico to London, back to Mexico and introduced a couple of characters that suddenly appeared in Mexico with one very weak link that took us nowhere and the villain they were supposedly chasing somehow managed to escape them. This villain, without any clear indication of how he found the elite force Shadow Wolves leader, captures his family (oops, spoiler) and manages to build and plant a bomb while the elite force with modern weapons couldn't hit a barn door while the rest of the villains managed to hold them off with a couple of rifles/shotguns. That's definitely and hour and a half I'll never get back! One watched in the hope it will get better, don't waste your time!

source: Shadow Wolves

B-movie type film marked by stilted dialogue and cliched plot elements. A terrorist leader, dying of a terminal illness, seeks revenge against a group of Native American trackers. During one of the Gulf Wars, the trackers had led the U.S. military to the home of the terrorist and subsequently a drone strike wiped out his family. The trackers are now patrolling the U.S./Mexican border to try and stop the passage of drugs, human trafficking, and possible terrorist weapons. They are secretly being funded by a former fellow soldier who is now a Colonel with the NSA. Overall, can't recommend this one.

The movie was a entirely cliche. If I were Native American, Japanese, Mexican, or Arab I would be incredibly insulted at the way all of these groups were portrayed. The movie feels like it was written by an armchair Rambo (look that one up if you never have heard the phrase). There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, it is a myopic look into terrorism, the drug trade, and anti-terrorist operations from someone who has no idea. The history spouting colonel was wrong . . . just so wrong . . . Lets make up history as we go along!

Shadow Wolves is a group of Native American vigilantes led by Nabahe (Graham Greene) who protect the border from smugglers and terrorists. NSA agent Colonel Branson (Thomas Gibson) is running his own unsanctioned dark ops in his fight against ISIS. This is bad and its greatest sin is that it looks cheap. I am surprised by some of the great actors that participated in this atrocity. McKay Daines seems to be a B-movie filmmaker who has a certain political bent towards the war on terrorism. I don't care about any of that but he has to make this good. It has to be fun and exciting. It has to be a compelling story. This is simply not.

The film centers on an elite force of Native American Shadow Wolves operatives and the story of their work with a CIA agent to prevent an impending terrorist attack The story is a bit refreshing, as it's loosely based on the real-life Shadow Wolves, but the tacky dialogues, boring under-developed characters, and rather bland performances aren't enough to redeem it. The action sequences are poorly staged, and could use some good editing and steady camera work. The score is not memorable as you could hardly notice it, But the cinematography in some places is good; the lighting and color grading gives the scenes the right mood and atmosphere. Overall, Shadow Wolves is a poor film with a good concept, but clumsily executed.

SHADOW WOLVES is a Z-grade action flick that suffers from being extremely badly directed and poorly written to boot. It's a low budget low-fi adventure in which a bunch of Navajo soldiers battle terrorist groups, tangling with various ISIS terrorists bent on mayhem. A couple of British characters randomly show up to join in the fun. Other than the novelty of seeing an unrecognisable Louise Lombard (the last time I saw her was in THE HOUSE OF ELIOT) who looks amazing for her age, and the impossibly aged Graham Greene of DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE fame, there's really no reason to tune in to this one.

WOW..... I believe you can reject most of the negative and critical reviews. They can't do justice to how utterley and completely mesmerisizingly rubbish this confusing, badly written, amateurishly acted gibberish is on so many levels it;s crazy.

The actors aren't entirely bad and the plot could be OK. However all of the dialogue is 100% cliché and predictable. It makes the actors seem lame. And then there are the logical inconsistencies. Just for one simple example of a man is not down and he leaves his rifle right on the ground and continues to pursue the bad guy for hand to hand combat. The villain is 100% stereotype and very lame dialogue

This garbage of a film was directed and acted by simple ametuers and 7 producers whose past investment efforts were just as bad ! To keep harping about Afghanistan and ISIS in the same story is realistically laughable, but not as much as the acting, and direction ! Please avoid this film unless you are sitting in the toilet with nothing else to do !
