We watched Land of Bad on Netflix over the weekend. Not a memorable movie, but one of those cookie cutter military operative kinda things starring lesser known Hemsworths. It’s also not a bad movie and not a bad way to waste an afternoon with a bit of action. 
The only real complaint I have is

Spoiler

There’s a scene towards the end of the film where part of the rescue mission goes wrong and there’s supposed to be an air strike in fifteen minutes. They have to call it off because they’re not gonna make it out in time and they can’t get a hold of the people running the show to cancel it, so they have to call a not anywhere near in shape Russell Crowe. At the 2:30 til splodey time they finally get him a message and he’s at a market and can’t reach the base because everyone is busy watching a basketball game, yet somehow an older overweight Crowe is able to drop out of the checkout line, get into his car and drive through a parking structure and get back to the main part of base and get through security, jog past the rec room and to where he can relay the message to call off the bombs. He’s seriously gotta do all that in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. There’s no way an in shape Russel Crowe could’ve done that let alone older tubby Crowe.

Beyond that it’s still not a bad movie, definitely not perfect and nothing really special about it, but you probably wouldn’t regret watching it either.

@Big s Wait a minute, wasn't Russel Crowe already out of shape 16 years ago in Body of Lies? 😄

Yes, he’s been that way for a long while. Ain’t no way he’s making that run to his car in 2 minutes and 30 seconds, let alone the rest of the trip
