Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Sequences of combat at the finale aren't too shabby, though they're disjointed and random, as if devised without any interest in continuity. Rated: 2/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 26, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

William D This is an okay film. That should only be watched once. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Basically the OG Avatar. Dolph at his best, 90s action at it's best. Such an underrated film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review dave j Ex-mercenary, Nick Gunar (Dolph Lundgren) hired to lead a group ordered to take over exotic island located somewhere in Bangkok Thailand, for it's rare minerals. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Debo and co. switch sides midway through after being bullied for shit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member although lundgren is good in his role, men of war is a badly acted and written, generic action movie, with a story that is horribly constructed and doesn't make a lot of sense and at times can be quite boring, but all that aside I can't help but like it once the fighting, shooting, and exploding starts even though it's extremely illogical Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member What a terrible title for a lovely film. Think The Beach meets Dogs of war. Well worth the watch! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
