I was in the mood for a 90s action film and came across this film. On paper the cast alone should make this a winner. Brad Davis, Ken Foree, Yaphet Kotto, and Jan Michael Vincent. One major flaw in this film is the music. It's absolutely terrible. They seemed to try to pair the silliest track possible to whatever was happening on screen at the time. The action was ok, but it felt like a made for television film. I'd swear some of the muzzle flashes were laid in over the weapons fire. I also have to say that Brad Davis could have been replaced by Steve Railsback and no one would have noticed. His actions, manner and cadence of speech are identical to his. Overall this is a simple story with a foregone conclusion that could have been much better if the massive pool of talent had been used better. Jan Michael Vincent seemed to phone in all his roles after a certain point in his career and this feels like one of those moments. It seems like he's thinking, "What would a gruff, asshole, military officer say here?" right before he speaks. Yaphet Kotto was in it so little you could have blinked and missed him. It makes you wonder if he lost a bet. Ken Foree is always reliable no matter what the role.
In the end, this doesn't live up to even some of the B action films the 90s produced in droves. Only watch if you are particularly bored and your phone is dead, because if it isn't you'll find yourself absentmindedly looking at it while this movie plays.
