I've seen a LOT of action films in my time and a LOT of bad ones too. Practically anything with Chuck Norris (President's Man, A Force of One), the horrendous Bad Pack with Robert Davi, Lawnmower Man 2 and Strike of the Panther with Edward Stazak but this film is not one of them. The main reason I enjoyed this film was the cast. They seem to work well together and make up for Hulk Hogan's questionable acting ability (to be honest he seemed all right to me and MUCH better than Arnold Schwarzenegger in Raw Deal). I was pleased to see Carl Weathers who in my opinion hasn't done NEARLY enough action films. He was great in Predator and the Rocky Films as well as in his starring role Action Jackson. Martin Kove from Karate Kid is also well cast. A strange inclusion was erotic thriller queen Shannon Tweed. The movie also includes a real former Navy SEAL in Mike White. The baddies are Billy Drago, Trevor Goddard (Kano from Mortal Kombat) and Billy Blanks.
The plot is pretty standard and as I said only the cast makes it a good film. It has the team going after a drug baron, one of the team turning traitor, the traitor kidnaps a load of gymnasts to get the drug baron back and then the team mounting a rescue of the hostages. Pretty standard stuff but the action is non stop with guns, fists and explosions. Don't be put off because of the other reviews on here, this film is so much better than a lot of other TV action movies.
