Growing up as a kid in the 80s and early 90s, I watched a lot of terrible movies. Movies like American Warrior, On Deadly Ground, or The Delta Force. Were these movies great? Of course not. But did I love them anyway, because they were hokey and fun? You bet I did!
If, like me, you miss these kinds of movies, movies that don't take themselves too seriously, movies that turn an incredibly implausible premise into 90 minutes of mindless entertainment, movies in which the bad guy is actually bad, and the good guy is a gruff action hero with a gun or two, movies where most actors have more muscles than acting skills, movies with poorly choreographed knife fights that, somehow, still end up making you invested in what is happening on screen, this is for you.
If that doesn't describe you, you should probably look elsewhere. Me, though? I absolutely loved watching this. I'm happy this movie exists, and I hope we'll see more like it in the future. And I hope that we'll see Elsa Pataky in more of them, because she makes for a fantastic action movie lead.
