So, 'Terrible Things' is kind of an interesting watch, to say the least. It dives into the darker corners of patriotism and the costs associated with national security. I mean, the setup is pretty tense—an urgent black ops mission in Mexico, fueled by paranoia over terrorism. The tone is gritty, with a sort of relentless pacing that keeps you on edge. The performances are solid, though nothing really stands out as groundbreaking. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that gives it a certain authenticity, which I appreciate. It tackles heavy themes of morality in warfare, but it doesn’t quite dig as deep as it could have. Still, there's something engaging about its portrayal of desperation and fear.
