AWOL-72

About This Movie

AWOL-72 is one of those thrillers that really leans into the gritty chase aspect. You’ve got this AWOL marine who’s got some hot intel, running from all sides—Russian special ops, LAPD, and even a mysterious assassin. The pacing is relentless, keeping you on the edge, making every moment feel like a ticking clock. The performances have a raw intensity that fits the narrative, and the practical effects add a layer of authenticity that’s often missing in today’s CGI-heavy landscape. It's this blend of tension and real-world stakes that gives it a distinct flavor. The atmosphere is dark, almost claustrophobic at times, heightening the sense of paranoia. A solid entry in the subgenre, worth checking out if you're into military thrillers.
