Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

lost-in-limbo I don't know how many times I've come across the film in stores that were selling their ex-rental tapes, to have the film in my hands to only put it back. I don't know why; as it seemed it could be a juicy throwback to the Reagan era of dumb-down patriotic action set in the Middle East. "Delta Force" anyone. Well after watching it, you can't say it disappoints on that point. Strangely it starts of slow, but then its wears its pride with ridiculous glee with gung-ho activity with brutal and unsparing carnage as the tersely hardened Fred Dyer goes berserk (sometimes with a rocket launcher, all maybe a shotgun) when one of his men and close friend/colonel are kidnapped by Arab terrorists who are working with some German/or were they Russian mercenaries. I'll go German. They were extremely evil too, especially in their intro were they completely demolish a dinner table by machine gun and I almost forgot a diplomatic family. Dyer's Sgt. character likes to do things his way, but Paul Winfield's American ambassador does things by the book. They clash in the most clichéd manner, but this won't stop Dyer. He wants payback. And boy does he get it. So what we get is explosions galore… you know suicidal bombing, slow-motion car chases that end in explosions and then the chaotic ambush filled with explosions / gunfire at the bad guy's hideout. Throw in robotic bad guys - the German pair takes the cake, cringe-worthy torture, stilted dialogues, macho posturing, marine instincts, flag waving, dummy stunt work and a stunning Joanna Pacula as an internationalist photographer. The material is quite one-sided in its viewpoint, but because of this it manages to strike some unintentional laughs in its leave no one behind mindset. Brian May contributes to the funky score. Simple, raw and cheap, but effectively busy in what it sets out to achieve; chintzy, but no-bull action exploitation that makes a lot of noise. "You're dead marine"

Gmork76 This is so hilarious that the movie is really fun to watch. Here we have the usual stereotypes fighting each other in a fictional middle eastern terrorist nation. The plot is mediocre but the acting is at places really good. Some say that this is the most anti-Arab movie there is, perhaps, but I don't know. I've seen worse anti-Arab and anti -American filth out there. One fun detail is that I for a moment thought I watched Delta Force (1986) when watching this. Same sets. Same Israeli looking Arabs actors. I found this Anchorbay DVD on a yard sale, mint condition. Sadly, the world this movie depicts is close to ours in 2012. War, war and bloodshed......

BuzzardHawk This was typical of the one-sided, unintentionally funny, and jingoistic action movies that came out during the Reagan Administration, and as such, clearly shows its age.See Edward Zwick's "The Siege" instead.

wbhickok About the kindest think I could possibly say about this movie, is that it is funnier than 'Commando.' Starring Fred 'Where the hell did my career go' Dryer as a Marine who lives by his own rules.(clever huh?) After the killing of all his buddies, and the kidnapping of his gruff but loveable Colonel, Yep... you guessed it, he goes on a one man rescue mission (against orders naturally) to rescue the Colonel, and to kill as many non-english speaking persons as possible. Laughably cliched from start to finish. Whoever wrote this should have their crayons taken away.
