Female War A Nasty Deal 2015 720p Portable Review
The film was shot on early RED cameras (circa 2012-2013). The 1080p source has a lot of digital noise. By downscaling to 720p (1280x544) , you actually reduce the mosquito noise around gun barrels and chain-link fences. Plus, at a file size of 1.5GB to 2.5GB, it fits easily on a microSD card for a flight.
Genre: War / Action / Indie Drama
Runtime: ~85 minutes
Key Element: Female soldiers in a covert ops setting.
Plot Summary (No Major Spoilers)
The film follows a small, all-female mercenary unit hired for a black-ops extraction in a war-torn Eastern European country. What starts as a straightforward snatch-and-grab quickly turns into a "nasty deal" when they discover their employer has set them up as decoys. The women must use tactical skills and grit to survive behind enemy lines. female war a nasty deal 2015 720p portable
The "Female War" Angle
Unlike Hollywood glamorizations, this indie film tries for raw, grounded violence. The female leads (mostly unknown actors) perform their own basic tactical drills. There's no forced romance or "save the damsel" trope—they are presented as professional killers. However, the script gives them one-note backstories (the vengeful widow, the disgraced ex-military, the rookie) which feels formulaic.
