"Stratton"

In a world of terrorist and secret organizations, there are those that protect the well being of their nations that the rest of the world never hears about. Yet when one of their own turns traitor. 

Special Boat Service commando John Stratton (Dominic Cooper) is one of the finest Britain has to offer, but when a mission to find and destroy a bio-weapon in Iran goes south when someone has already stolen it and killed all the people there leading to a shootout that kills his partner Marty (Tyler Hoechlin) it becomes clear to superior Sumner (Connie Nielsen) that the organization has a leak. As Aggy (Gemma Chan) the woman behind the scenes pieces the clues together, they discover someone pulling the strings on the other side that Sumner identifies as Grigory Barovsky (Thomas Krestchmann) long believed to be dead is planning to use the bio-weapon with drones for his own purposes. 

All I can say about this film is that I hope the novel its based off of was better written than this screenplay. While it had action for the military enthusiast, it lacked an engaging plot and the characters had no depth of real emotion. I couldn't even get halfway before my interest was lost and I barely made it through to the end. Overall, this has one of the lowest G.M.Star scores I've ever had to give right up there with "Cook Off" which is only one star. No offense to Bradley Cooper's brother, but Dominic could have done so much better when auditioning for this movie.
