A very, very cheap rip off of predators. Only missing a few things. I say D, July 20 2011

"If these guys can't fix it, Hell no one can." After a group of scientists goes missing, the army hires an elite covert team led by Tyler (Sorbo) to go and investigate and rescue them. When they get to the site they discover something they never could have imagined. There really is not much to say about this movie. The best way to explain it is that this is a Scy/Fy channel version of "Predators". It is only missing the effects, action, cool bad guys and acting, other then that it is a lot like "Predators". If you are a HUGE Predator or Sci-fi fan you would probebly like this, otherwise go ahead and aviod this and anyone who wants you to watch it. I give it a D.
Would I watch again? - No way! I will not be getting this for my store.
*Also try - Predators

Cheap knockoff of Predator, and really poorly done, Nov 26 2011
By John Thornton - Published on Amazon.com

"Flesh Wounds" is really a poorly done movie. It has a plot very similar to Predator, except for the fact that Predator made sense, and at least had some kind of interesting storyline. This time it is a cyborg E16 instead of an alien, but the plot is inconsistent. Yuck.
The acting in Flesh Wounds is just plain dreadful. Kevin Sorbo looks like he is bored stiff, and the rest of the actors look like they were reading it through for the first and only time. Yuck.
Totally unrealistic "special ops" team. No military training apparent, nor any technical advisers on how real soldier might perform. One guy carries a "bag of guns" so that explains how they change which weapon they are holding from scene to scene. They stop in hostile land to smoke and chat about who is gay and whatnot. Yuck.
The troops act like some guys picked up in a gym for their muscles and then told to play soldier. The lone female in the group has so much makeup on she looks more ready to stroll down the runway than to hike in a swamp. Yuck.
The action sequences are poor. The camera work is shoddy. The dialogue is lame to the extreme. Yuck.
The monster/cyborg/alien is silly, and not in a good way. Yuck.
The only passable part of "Flesh Wounds" was the musical score. That was adequate. The rest of the movie is a total waste. Yuck.

How do films like this get made?, Nov 26 2011

If this isn't the worst movie I've ever seen it certainly is in the running. I would point out all the absurdities in the film, but it would be much easier and less time consuming to just list the positives. So here goes: Kevin Sorbo, while delivering a truly pathetic performance -- I swear! He must have been drinking while filming this -- looked to be in fairly good shape. That's it!
