Love and Honor Reviews

To be honest, I didn’t have some high expectations with this terrible bland title and it did look like another lame romantic tale starring Liam Hemsworth but, somehow, I still ended up watching this flick. Well, I have to admit that the damned thing was not so bad at all after all. Indeed, the story wasn’t the usual non-sense that you can get in your average romantic feature, especially romantic-comedies, and it was fairly interesting and entertaining. Furthermore, even if Liam Hemsworth didn’t deliver a strong performance, at least, I liked his character and he had some nice chemistry with Teresa Palmer. Still, the makers did make a few mistakes though. First of all, why did they cast Austin Stowell with Liam Hemsworth?!? Seriously, they both looked too similar and when I first saw Stowell, I thought it was Hemsworth. It does explain why, for some reason, Hemsworth was the only soldier who didn’t wear a helmet during the battle scene at the beginning because, otherwise, it would be impossible to tell them apart. A bigger issue was the ending though. Of course, nothing really shocking actually happened or maybe that was exactly the problem, that it was completely predictable. Indeed, as expected, Peter delivered a seriously dick move and Candace discovered the truth about Mickey and dumped him but still loved him after all,…. All these events were completely plot-driven and therefore rather underwhelming and I wish they managed to find another way to wrap this up. However, even more underwhelming was how, at the eleventh hour, Dalton Joiner finally decided to desert after all. Seriously, it was just an idiotic twist that went completely against what these two guys were standing for. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still better than expected and I think it is worth a look, at least, if you like the genre.
