Land of Bad is an action thriller that follows a Delta Force team that gets ambushed in enemy territory, a rookie that refuses to abandon them, and a drone pilot who is their only chance of survival.
The casting was an Australian family affair with Liam and Luke Hemsworth along with fellow Aussie, Russell Crowe, leading the troops. They all had good chemistry and delivered competent performances. The film also benefited from a diverse cast, which was a welcome change of pace in the genre. However, the characters were largely one-dimensional, lacking the depth needed to truly connect me to the cast and keep me engaged throughout.
The action sequences were well-executed, but the overall narrative was hindered by tired tropes. The portrayal of Filipino villains as the primary antagonists was a disappointing and overused cliché.
In the end, Land of Bad was a decent action film that delivered on thrills but fell short on originality. While was entertaining enough for me as a fan of the genre, it won't be leaving a lasting impression.
