Audience Member A US soldier is sent to a Mexican base to uncover soldiers profiting from the Mexican drug trade. Nothing great about this one amigo. Unfortunate to see director Mark Lester sluming it with a straight to video film, b-list cast and slim budget. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a dumb film. About a group of troops killing drug dealers and then selling said drugs. Another marine is sent in to bring them down. The acting is bad and rhe entire ending is just laughable....the tank was super cheesy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A good idea 4 an action movie wasted cuz of bad direction. Ima big fan of Mark Dacascos and was really disappointed by this movie.

I'm guessing picking roles like this didn't help him. here he plays an undercover army guy having to go to a currupt army base. some fight scenes are ok but nothing else really stands out.
