Overview

• 'Land of Bad' stars Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth in a war drama set in the Philippines, with Crowe playing a drone pilot and Hemsworth a soldier stranded in the jungle.
• The film is criticized for its portrayal of 'Evil Brown Terrorists' and simplistic, sometimes offensive racial optics, despite attempts to counterbalance with diverse characters.
• Russell Crowe's performance, particularly a scene of him grocery shopping, is praised as a highlight, offering a contrast to the film's action sequences.
• The movie's action scenes and narrative are described as middle-of-the-road, with some reviewers finding redeeming qualities in its cinematography and Crowe's acting.
• Despite its flaws, 'Land of Bad' is seen as a weird type of pro-war film that explicitly supports drone warfare, marking a strange pivot for director William Eubank.
