Black Ops (2013 remake)

Black Ops is the 2013 remake of the 1983 action film of the same name. After the box-office success, but very poor critical reception of the original series, Transbaum Films decided to remake the first film, but reinvented.

The film follows the middle-aged Brad Avery (Phil Martinez), who faked his death in 1992 in order to escape a suicide mission and retired to a more peaceful life. In 2013, he is discovered by a female spy Angelina (Anne Palmer) and is recruited back into the Lovian Secret Service to stop a rogue soldier from performing a nuclear weapons heist and possibly starting World War III.

The film opened on June 20, 2013 and received positive reviews by professional critics, who praised the reimagined storyline, acting and the humour used by the main character. The movie was rated a hard PG-13 for strong violence and language.
