“Land Of Bad” (** out of four) was a pretty punfunctory action thriller about an elite army ODA team (Milo Ventimiglia, Ricky Whittle, Luke Helmsworth, and others) who are suddenly ambushed and their only hope lies with an Air Force officer (Liam Helmsworth) and a drone pilot (Russell Crowe) to guide them out and steer them all to safety. Cinema-lovers can pick apart the visual and dramatic derivations here from “Clear And Present Danger” to “Sniper” and countless others. Not bad but heavily basic and routine. Crowe seems to be playing an aged version of his sinister character from “Body Of Lies” although in fairness this is much better than that 2008 dud.
