About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud, straightforward 1980s rescue-thriller with lots of gunfire, explosions, and patriotic bravado in the vein of Rambo: First Blood Part II; Not for you if you need realism, subtlety, or strong acting.
Pros: nonstop 80s action; fun cheesy energy; memorable one-man mission | Cons: thin choppy story; uneven acting; limited martial arts
