Something at "Site 9" interrogation center eliminates everyone there. A team lead by Wesley Snipes is tasked to find out what happened. Joining the team is Gabriel (Dave Annable) the designer of the "Temple" computer system which can also tell if you are telling the truth by examining minute changes in a person's temple. Gabriel has been able to work his way into a bottle after his son died...the lone character build up feature. Once the team gets inside, they discover the people killed in the opening clip plus an unexpected guest. They struggle against the electronics. There is action in the flashbacks as to not slow the pace until the real action takes place. The science fiction aspect enters the feature late. I would hesitate to classify it as "horror." Fairly decent action film, similar to some low budget indies. We really don't have any real clues as to what is going on until well into the story. Dialogue could have been better. BTW If a person leaves a classified government facility their access is removed from system and codes are changed. Just saying.

We don't get spooked
No response
I have to admit, something a different reviewer stated is quite right. This could easily be a Seagal movie. Now he can't act in stark contrast to Snipes, but everything else ... I can see that. Actually I'd prefer not to see that, but you get my point. I guess one of the main differences would be that the newer Seagal movie would have (female) nudity included, whatever that means to you.
Now the movie at hand does not make much sense, there's not backup plan and no real plan either I guess. I don't think this will stay with you, technically though I cannot fault it. Do the effects and some stunts elevate the viewing experience? Probably not, but you be the judge
The latest Snipes is like watching the latest Seagal...
Wesley Snipes. The man of Passenger 57, Demolition Man, U.S. Marshals, The Blade Trilogy.. But also films like Murder At 1600, The Art Of War and Game Of Death are among his best but we've also had to endure a lot of trash (see almost everything else in his filmography for that).
His latest success was his performance in the flawed Expendables 3. With "Armed Response" he really hit a new low. That also goes for Anne Heche (why is she in this movie ?). I read the bad reviews but watched it anyway because I was prepared it was not just an action movie, but an action/horror movie. Well, it wasn't either. No scares, no action, no fighting, no thrills, no tension.
Just one single location and one 'special forces' team trying to figure out what's going on for the entire running time of 90 minutes. You'll get bored out of your mind because nothing happens. Dialogue and script are laughable.
The first sign is the moment when a soldier reports back to squad leader Snipes that he found one of the missing men who's dead. Snipes'response is simply "okay". He doesn't even ask if and how he's killed. Seems trivial because no one knows what's going on and what they're fighting at that time..
More people show up dead and then they're (rather easily) trapped.
It really isn't worth your time sticking around waiting for the revelation because it's just stupid.
