A truly hammy military action stinker. I made a concerted "effort" to try and watch this, but I found it was so awful I gave up. A dull propagandised "Russia is the devil" back story, crummy, cliched characterisations and narrative to match. Action is all over the place and lacks any sense of continuity, within the context of the "story", such as it is. Acting is okay at times, but it's a lit match in a windowless cellar. In summary, watching "Man of War" made my brain hurt. Enough said.
