@WopKitty 3d One of those late-’90s action thrillers that knows exactly what it wants to be—and delivers it with confidence, energy, and a strong cast performance. Lean, tense, and unapologetically old-school, the film is a solid example of the era’s made-for-video action done right. Melanie Shatner brings a grounded, believable presence to the movie, helping anchor the high-stakes plot with genuine emotional weight. Her performance adds humanity and intelligence to the story, making the danger feel real rather than purely mechanical. She plays her role with restraint and credibility, which works especially well against the film’s more explosive moments. Michael Dudikoff, a familiar and reliable face in action cinema, delivers exactly what fans expect: a calm, capable hero performance that propels the film forward. His physicality and screen confidence fit the military-thriller tone perfectly, and he pairs well with the rest of the cast, giving the movie a professional, cohesive feel.

See more 04/03/2012 Cheap actors and a cheap ground location. The plot isn't anything new either, although not the worst of this low-budget throw-away war action genre. See more Read all reviews
