Review of Hell's Heroes

Billed in a recent DVD release as Inglorious Bastards 2, a sequel to the film that Quentin Tarantino used as the inspiration for his own film, this film is actually a Viet Nam set film about soldier played by Miles O'Keefe who is trying to fight the good fight but is hamstrung by all his men being new recruits and the general over him not believing that the enemy is preparing something big. When a senator (played by Chuck Connors) is killed in an ambush, O'Keefe is sent to the stockade as a scapegoat because he had exchanged angry words with the senator prior to the attack. In the stockade he meets a number of other soldiers including Fred Williamson. The band take it on the lamb when the building is damaged in the fighting and they head into the jungle and hopefully freedom. Okay action film suffers from too much talk and not enough action. When the action comes its pretty good, but until it happens it's a tad too talky. Its not uninteresting, its just not as action packed as I would have liked, certainly not a film that is suppose to be a sequel to Inglorious Bastards. Its worth a look, more so since this is available as part of a multi-film DVD set.
