To me, this movie is perfection.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The Horror Channel announced this film was NAZI DAWN I had no idea what NAZI DAWN was about so looked up it on this site . Some silly story about six chicks getting involved with dead fascists . If nothing else it was a very recent film and I'd have the dubious privilege in being the first reviewer on the page . I did think it slightly strange that for a film where the protagonists were going to be slutty teenagers it starts on board a ship in the present day Persian Gulf . Within 20 minutes I started thinking there was a blooper somewhere and looked up the film roles of Lance Henriksen and Gary Stretch because this almost certainly wasn't the film that the Horror Channel claimed they were broadcasting .. And it wasn't , it was a 2008 film called BLACK OPSI'll watch NAZI DAWN whenever it gets broadcast and compare it to this one and in the meantime wonder if it might be better than this one which is a dark horror thriller . When I say " dark " I don't mean it has a gloomy downbeat atmosphere I mean someone has failed to pay the electricity bill which means it's almost impossible to see what is going on so you just have to concentrate on the dialogue which isn't up to much . By concentrating on what is being said you do notice something very unlikely and that is Henriksen and Stretch play characters of father and son . What's unlikely about this you ask ? Absolutely nothing except Henriksen talks with a heavy American accent and Stretch talks with a broad English accent . If you are expecting an explanation for this your hopes are raised when father character starts mentioning his wife and family and you expect him to say he sent his son off to public school in England but this goes totally unresolved and the story continues as the audience wander around in the dark on a visual and narrative level in this generic and muddled horror thriller

To start with, there is a lot of torture scenes...beatings, dunking in water, etc....but no torture can match what happened to me...I sat through the entire movie !! I would rather had been beaten or drowned, why, oh why, did I do it? You get to see Katherine Rudolph kinda nude for a second (of course during the middle of all hell breaking loose, she stops to take a shower)so that was the only bonus. Dialogue was terrible, plot was weak...too much un-needed violence, C acting.....maybe they changed name of movie because everyone was ragging on it so much.....please don't see it...send me your money instead : ) But seriously, has to be the worse movie I have seen in years.

It's hard to hate a film you rented for only a buck, but this one did it. First off, the movie and some reviewers too, called the obvious WW ll vintage TRANSPORT a BATTLESHIP. Normally I don't get too picky about military stuff, like that model of the P-51 Mustang wasn't used in the Pacific in WW ll or trivia like that. but confusing an obvious transport, with derricks around cargo holds, with a battleship that is only 8 times it's size and bristling with guns is a travesty of idiocy, even for a foreign translation. A gun tub with a 20 mm cannon or a flack gun on the bow does not make even a warship. Then the rank of Lance and other naval dudes keep changing, colonel, captain, general admiral. Do you need R Lee Ermey to keep the ranks realistic too? Then the ultimate lack of imagination was to make the nemesis a, hold your breath cause this is supposed to be set in our times, NAZI SS genetically altered superman from WW ll! Is he a ghost or some emag presence or or just some true superman is hard to figure out. But one scene towards the end has him in his little hideaway listening to some 1940's vintage radio covered with cobwebs. You mean after 60 plus years no one caught him in his little home away from home on a naval vessel? He has fantastic powers of dismemberment, he did most of the original crew in by tearing them apart then displays some sort of mind control and body jumping skills too at the end. Like they were filming the scene and what ever cheap sci fi - supernatural trick they could come up was used in that scene. After the first 15 minute everything was done in dark in below deck. About the only thing I can admire about them was that they did get a real transport for a at least a couple live action scenes.They also through some scenes in the beginning where our guys were brutally torturing some Iraqi terrorists, who of course is well educated in our colleges and speaks great English too. So there is supposed to be parallelism between our bad boys behavior and this super Aryan spook. This gives one of our good guys, some naval rating, a chance to confront the badder of our guys to show that real Americans have heart. This rating is supposed to be Lance's son who Lance and his SEAL? team are sent onto the ship to rescue. But in another scene both Lance and his son are punching out some ghost hunter CIA? dude who knows more than he's letting on, I guess. They are punching him out in a room full of model ships and displays like the type kids and vets build to show in the mall. What dreck In spite of all this, the movie's ending is still confusing and I couldn't give it away because it was just too lame. Do not, I mean do not, go 1" out of your way to watch this direct to DVD mess!

the script was rewritten and the film re-shot.The acting was watchable but the dialog was pretty blasé.The director must have blown his budget in the first 20 minutes of gore because after that it was "let's turn the lights down real low so no one can see anything and generate some fear that way." Although the cast only had one woman, they still found a way to have a scene with her naked in the shower. If that doesn't speak volumes about this film, maybe you will enjoy it.I wont spoil it for you with details but the ending sucks. You'll be able to guess what happens at the end by 0:30 in (military time).Don't waste your time here, watch Outpost again... it's the same story done on a ship...
