As informal punishment for an unwitting affair with admiral Gregory Maitland's adulterous wife, Sam Axe, a US Navy Commander, was sent to Colombia to observe the suspected rebel movement Espada Ardiente ('Burning Sword'). Now he's under investigation for allegedly consorting with those alleged terrorists. He explains how he discovered that his Colombian army liaison Comandante Veracruz was the real drug dealers cahoot, who pailed on framing Axe and presumably innocent farmers for the bombing of an American-run Andes clinic. Sam escaped and tried to help the civilians and forces CIA observers to demand urgent help. He even found a trump card to avoid conviction for his illegal methods and a favorable discharge.
Leave your thoughts about Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe.
| AV ClubScott Von DoviakFans should enjoy Campbell's performance, but Sam Axe deserved a more interesting fall. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesReally, this is the sort of lightweight adventure we should be seeing Bruce Campbell in much more often... |
| CraveOnlineBlair MarnellIt's still good and it clearly had a bigger budget than the weekly series. But this was essentially a two hour episode of Burn Notice. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Blair HowellHas all its bases covered for a successful comedy: a witty script (from the series creator Matt Nix), expert direction (by the series star Jeffrey Donovan) and a flawed but fun character, deftly portrayed by Campbell. |
| ScreenRantRob FrappierTruthfully, I wasn't blown away by Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, but I did enjoy the movie for what it was worth. |
| UproxxAlan SepinwallCampbell's got the charisma and self-deprecating sense of humor to carry a whole film. We know that. But the Sam presented here isn't nearly as much fun as Campbell gets to be on the show. |
| HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoIt's not bad, but not particularly the best outing for anyone involved. |
| User ReviewStu GBrilliant show and finally the mighty Bruce made it past one season hell |
| User ReviewRachel DFor a Burn Notice fan, this is a must-see! |
| User ReviewSteve WLoved it! If you like Burn Notice, and Sam is one of your favorite characters...then you will too!! |
