‘Dirty Angels’ (2024) Movie Review

For example, the murder of their team gives Jake a personal reason to take on the mission to rescue a group of American students that Amir and his group kidnapped from an international school in Pakistan.Watch this movie on Flixtor full Movies.

Jake is basically a tough guy who doesn't ask questions and takes no answers, and Green certainly plays the role well. But hopefully her potential breakout role as an action star is less questionable than this one.

After arriving overseas, Jake becomes the de facto leader of a group of female soldiers. Once they arrive in Afghanistan, they become more convincing as a team of fake medics. If you didn't already know Jake's character by then, she tells her team that she doesn't care about their names (since they're aliases anyway), their stories, or anything personal.

She sees her teammates solely based on their roles: the "nerd" (JoJo T. Gibbs), the "shooter" (Emily Bruni), the "medic" (Ruby Rose), and the explosives expert "Bombshell" (Maria Bakalova). Mechanic Rocky (Rona-Lee Simone) seems to get away with it, as she tells Jake her name before the group leader emphasizes how unwaveringly professional she is. The screenplay, by Alyssa Sullivan Haggis and Jonas McCord, also seems to adhere to Jake's disinterested philosophy, as the team's characters really only exist to play a role in the plot.

There's little point in detailing this plot, in which the team tries to gather local weapons and equipment for the mission. Meanwhile, Amir continues to flaunt how evil he is, while the internal conflict between ISIS and the Taliban in power mainly results in nearly every Middle Eastern character featured here being a potential outright villain, a hidden villain, or definitely a villain. The two exceptions are the team's drivers, Malik (Rez Brojerdi) and brother Abbas (Aziz Chapkurt), who briefly serve as comic interludes and remain so even in death.

There's a good reason Campbell is an action movie veteran, because the few sequences here are clean, competent, and directed and shot with a sense of consistency. Again, the problem isn't with the action in Dirty Angels, but with the way the film exploits too many scares and horrors for cheap thrills.
