FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Michael Ledo Joe (Brian Gleeson) and his junior friend Paddy (Damien Molony) work as mercenaries for Dave in Iraq. Their goal is to kidnap the daughter of a rich man. Much of the film is conversation between the two. We discover a lot of things that set us up for the final confrontations of the film which include the daughter (Sofia Boutella). Joe owes Dave while Paddy's loyalty has not been tested.First off, there is no tiger, and the "raid" consists of killing one guy watching a monitor screen. This is a psychological drama with internal conflict, being played out in Iraq. There are a lot of boring scenes of guys with heavy Irish accents engaging in "locker room" talk. I believe the twists at the end makes the film worth sitting through, you may not.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

ellieforster If you are expecting a straightforward thriller, don't watch this! It is a haunting psychological drama that will stay with you for days. For example, the casual violence displayed by Joe and Paddy while they were discussing the 'higher' things in life - love, politics, religion - I found truly disturbing. I found that this film haunted me, that I spent time mulling over the characters and events, even considering different endings and the consequences for the characters.My feelings about the main characters, Paddy and Joe, were in a constant state of flux as more was revealed about their pasts and personalities.There are tremendous performances by all the actors, but especially Brian Gleeson and Damien Molony, giving real depth to the characters. They were ably supported by the beautiful, haunting soundtrack and wonderful visual camera work.

Jack Hunter This is kind of film where you just gotta use words such as "powerful" and "gripping". It has several very genre breaking plot twists and it was extremely refreshing experience after all the crappy AAA titles I saw this year.Film has only 4 characters. One of those 4 is in it for less than 10 seconds. Over 90% of screen time is just two guys ... talking. And if someone described this film to me that way I might not even have seen it. So, let us add that both guys are neurotic psychopathic killers, and rapists, who keep switching from close partners to trying to murder each other over and over.Throughout the film you really want to side with each of them at different points and its hard to decide which one, or perhaps both, or neither, should survive in the end. And just when you almost make up your mind, third character enters to complicate things further.Its a must see movie.Just see it.

s3276169 Tiger Raid is one of those maddening films that smolders but never burns.....Its frustrating watching this film as excellent performances are handed in by the cast. Performances made more impressive when you consider that the majority of the interaction takes place between two key characters, mostly in small enclosed spaces. There is so much potential in this film for a mercenary Middle Eastern take on a Usual Suspects meets Reservoir Dogs, hybrid mix. Sadly, the smoldering tension that builds and the questions that start to come to the surface, never ignite in a meaningful way. Instead, what is offered up, for the most part, feels nihilistic and empty. I know that's a message, in itself but it feels more than a little rhetorical, given the "money for hire killers" context.In my opinion, an admirable effort from the cast but the script leaves much to be desired. Seven out of ten from me.
