Sam axe burn notice3/22/2023 ![]() ![]() Because of this, the special does not feel new or fresh. It’s a lot like the 24 TV movie, Redemption, where a well known hero is self-sacrificial and on the run with a group who is not really ready to defend themselves. Aided by local kid, Beatriz (Ilza Rosario), who doesn’t really look like a kid, the farmers flee towards a secret CIA base that Sam knows about. ![]() Soon after Sam flees, Veracruz figures out what is actually going on, and sets his men after Sam and the farmers. Sam fakes his own kidnapping and evacuates the people Veracruz intends to hurt. In order to get to do whatever they want, the leader of the squadron Sam is ordered to, Veracruz (Pedro Pascal, The Good Wife), plans on blowing up a clinic and blaming it on the farmers. The “terrorists” are actually farmers, and only one has any real military experience. As such, Sam must betray his instructions to save a clinic, the people it treats, and the nearby “terrorists” he is supposed to be against. Sam tries to do as his orders command, but after only a brief stint in the jungle, he realizes that the people he is stationed with are not on the up and up. Sam inadvertently sleeps with an admiral’s wife, and earns himself a transfer to an observe and report mission in Columbia. Things pick up as Sam begins to relay the story of a recent mission to two superiors. As such, the movie gets off to a bad start. The whole sequence comes off as silly and unrealistic. While Sam is often the comic relief on Burn Notice, it does not make sense for him to appear bumbling while in uniform. The beginning is awkward, as Sam gets lost several times on the way to meet his commanding officers. As such, the team behind this new production does a superb job of making it feel like a few years ago. Perhaps because Sam engages in a bit more action than during a typical episode of Burn Notice, there is also an extra liveliness. The special is directed by Jeffrey Donovan, who stars in the regular show, and puts in a cameo in the movie.Ĭampbell is easily believable as a slightly younger Sam, the only noticable differences being a trim uniform and the grey dyed out of his hair. Called Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, it follows Sam (Bruce Campbell) on his last mission for the armed forces, before he winds up in Miami for the series. While fans wait for season five, a TV movie prequel premiered last night. USA’s Burn Notice is a popular series that finished its fourth season this past December. ![]()
