According to my research, this film is originally from 2004, called 'The Fallen'. Not sure yet whether this was an edited re-release, but it has the same cast, director, and plot. 'The Fallen' has a runtime of 112 minutes, while 'The Final Sacrifice' is only 81 minutes. If it is indeed the same film, note this review is for 'The Final Sacrifice', which I firmly believe is an edited version. For such a short film, it certainly wastes a lot of time with moments that should have ended on the cutting room floor. I didn't connect with any of the characters. Since I never really got to know the characters, I didn't root for any of them. Also, none of them stood out as heroes. They were all unexplored, shallow characters and I couldn't really tell them apart. The attack and killing scenes had little to no emotion. Much of the film played like a comedy, resulting in no suspense whatsoever. The actors also didn't seem very enthusiastic. At times it felt (and looked) like a stage production. I found it boring and pointless with very little action. The action scenes also literally only lasted a few seconds, allowing you no time to get into the action. The lighting was bad, the effects were bad, the script was bad.... Then again, maybe its expected of a B-movie. This was by far one of the worst war movies I've had the displeasure of watching.
