Not sure how this movie was as bad as it was as it had a couple of stars, a mildly good premise and what one thought was going to be a very violent conclusion with guns blazing, but here we are. None of the stars seem interested, not even ones who should if they wanted to keep getting roles, the premise did not work because the big bad conclusion one expects in a film like this turned into a slight pit stop. I have been in fast food drive in lines longer than the 'explosive' finale lasts...
The plot, a town on Mexican Americans are being harassed by a group of racist militia types. Who do they turn to for help? Well, a group of highly trained solider of fortunes, a kind of A-Team if you will, only they are more like the C-Team; however, that being said as easy as they take down the militia, the Mexicans could have just bought guns and skipped the middle man and done the whole job themselves...
So we get Davi who is good as a villain, but not so good as the hero, who for reasons unknown wears a confederate hat. Not a rebel flag hat, but an actual confederate soldier hat making me wonder who thought that was a good idea. Then there is Rowdy Roddy Piper who plays guy who drives. Seriously, there are more members of the team, but they are so poorly fleshed out as the rest are just crazy guy, buff guy and good shooting girl. Meanwhile, a dude who just joins up for no reason gets more screen time and is fleshed out better. I mean sure, guy stops a bank robbery in a diner I'm at, I wish to serve him like a toady forever...not!
So, the film should have been good, but was instead very weak. Not taking inspiration from 80's hardcore action films, but instead kind of being tepid. The bad guys are completely inept and the townspeople should feel embarrassed to have been terrorized by them. Still, good for a laugh or two as we watch this team of misfits get their fairly simple plan to stop the evil doers together.
