SPECTRAL (2016) - Movie Review

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Review: Are you looking for a blend of modern day military action coupled with feasible sci-fi and a touch of the supernatural? You will not be disappointed. Position a highly trained spec-ops team in a counter insurgency situation, within a European city, and introduce a lethal foe impartial to flags and ideals - one outside of the visible light spectrum. All parties quickly learn that their training and weapons are practically useless against these, seemingly indestructible, new players. Has the enemy deployed the ultimate secret weapon? Is it advanced tech? Or  is it the supernatural?  Unconventional warfare takes on a whole new meaning.
