SnoopyStyle Five young soldiers, Matt Stasny, Barry Dempsey, Elliott Ackers, Vic Skinner, and Shane Jones, have been captured by Afghan warlord Abdul Al-Raazaq. Their military grandparents Mick Skinner (Bo Svenson), Jean Dempsey (Margot Kidder), Lou Jones (Louis Gossett Jr.), Dominic Ackers (Seymour Cassel), and Paul Stansy (Cedric Smith) decide to go and find their missing grandsons.This has plenty of good acting talent in these old-timers. These are actors who still have gas in the tank. It's too bad that they are reduced to making these cheap B-movies. It tries to be serious but it can't be serious. The other minor actors are pretty bad. The locations are unconvincing. It is good to see some of these old geezers but it is sad to see the sandbox they're given to play in.
Curt1222 Besides terrible acting and writing, the mistakes in this movie would takes weeks to list, so I'll try to generalize. Uniform mistakes are clearly the result of not having a competent military adviser and a serious lack of funding. There is not one location in the alleged Afghanistan that looks remotely like anything in Afghanistan. The MEDEVAC helicopters shown after the first ambush are Marine, but the pilots are Army, and the interiors of the helicopters are not the model shown flying. Civilian doctors (and others) in Afghanistan are issued very specific identification cards, so the Company Commander (who is much, much too old to be a Captain) could have easily verified their identity. Despite alleged former military experience, none of the Grandparents correctly handles a weapon. During the first ambush in the quarry,(and several other times) the U.S. Soldier on the truck is using an enemy weapon mounted on a model of truck that was never used in Afghanistan. All explosions are clearly propane and gas explosions with no attempt to replicate actual explosions. There are violations of military protocol and tactics that are too numerous to list. The bottom line is that this movie was a waste of money to make, and should be an embarrassment for anybody associated with this dreck. IMDb should allow a "0" rating for garbage like this.
Brian Hamilton Beyond idiotic, this "movie" is the biggest piece of tripe ever. I cannot believe anyone even partially connected to it would allow their names to be printed, ANYWHERE. This was so bad, I was laughing at the start, became insulted by the mid-point and gave up 42 minutes in. If anyone got paid anything for this, they should man up and return the money or donate it to a charity. Well, they say they need 10 lines soo.....

Had Enough I am absolutely stunned, that anyone would have the conceit to market this rubbish. It would appear that Hollywood have decided that it is easier to make money running scams than actually producing quality products. I watched this so called movie because of the cast. Sadly it seems all the former great actors (actresses) have decided to forgo their reputations for a quick buck. They obviously care nothing for their fans or for the public at large. There is absolutely nothing positive to be said about this farce. Save yourself the pain and simply send your hard earned money to the producer. At least that way you may lose your money, but will not put yourself through the pain and insult of wasting your time watching the worst rubbish possible. If you feel the urge to watch this, I suggest you play with fire-ants until the urge wears off. It would be more entertaining.
