Viewing Notes
via Netflix
An elite team of mercenaries on a covert mission infiltrate an underground laboratory in a former Soviet state to recover a genetic mutation. This was interesting and is kind of a take off on Species but a lot more toned down with an alternate storyline going on instead of just a hunt for the creation. While this has a distinct b-movie feel, it actually feels like a bigger budget film because of how they use their budget. This does end up feeling a little all over the place though as characters seem to be forgotten until they just pop up later in the film.
