The Bottom Line
A basic action movie from the '80s but it doesn't hold up.
Plot
An American soldier with special skills gets posted to an island base where someone keeps hijacking military convoys. When his convoy gets hit, he's cooperating right up until someone hits the Colonel's daughter...
misubisu (Rated: 8)
The acting is terrible, the scripts and dialogue are terrible, the plot is [extremely] shallow. But, I love this movie... from the 1st time a watched it (a straight to VHS video tape). The fighting sequences are actually pretty well done, and believable.
You'll get many laughs out of the non-se...
